The National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NAPC) conducted three lifestyle monitoring of public servants from Kyiv, Mykolaiv Oblast and Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and sent substantiated conclusions to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP).
As reported by Ukrinform, this is what we are talking about on the agency’s website.
“The deputy of the Mykolaiv City Council purchased a BMW X5 car and made cash deposits in the amount of UAH 650,000, PLN 50,000, and USD 70,000. and 25 thousand euros. At the same time, the official income of the local deputy was only 1.6 million hryvnias, while the amount of expenses for the year was 4 million hryvnias. Therefore, the difference between official revenues and expenses amounted to almost UAH 2.4 million,” the report says.
The chief specialist of the State Agency of Forest Resources of Ukraine purchased an apartment in Kyiv worth UAH 1.9 million. In 2020, the official declared the amount of savings in the amount of UAH 200,000, but my mother (whom he noted in the declaration as a family member) had no savings.
For 2021, the official earnings of the official and his mother amounted to slightly more than UAH 250,000. Savings at the end of 2021 decreased by UAH 20,000. Therefore, the difference between the amount of the official’s official income and the cost of the apartment amounted to almost 1.5 million hryvnias.
The chief specialist provided an explanation of the origin to NACP funds, where he noted that he received this amount in cash and parts as a gift from his aunt even before he was appointed to the position. However, according to data from the registers, in the period from 1998 to 2021, the relative received only a disability pension.
And the deputy of the Lozuvat village council bought a Mercedes-Benz S 450 car. According to the contract, the elected official paid part of the amount in the amount of 20% (over UAH 740,000), then there was another cash settlement in the amount of UAH 1.4 million and the final payment with credit funds in the amount of more than 1.4 million hryvnias.
At the same time, the official income of the MP and his wife for the period of the car purchase amounted to slightly more than UAH 550,000 (salary and pension), and the family also took out a loan of UAH 1.4 million. Taking this into account, the difference between the cost of the car and the official income amounted to 1.6 million hryvnias.
As reported by Ukrinform, on January 24, NAZK initiated an official investigation into the official involved procurement in the Ministry of Defense.
