The head of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU), Pavlo Kyrylenka, was notified of a change in suspicion within the framework of the investigation into his possible involvement in illegal enrichment and declaration of false information. The amount referred to in the case exceeds 72 million hryvnias.
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) informed the head of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine Pavlo Kyrylenka about the change of suspicion. The official is now accused of illegal enrichment in the amount of more than UAH 72 million and submitting false information in the declarations for 2020-2023.
This was reported by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine.
According to the investigation data, Pavlo Kyrylenko, while heading the Donetsk regional state administration in 2019-2023, acquired 21 real estate objects and a luxury car. The property was registered to his wife's relatives, which made it possible to hide his real property.
The difference between the official incomes of Kyrylenko and his wife and the value of the property is UAH 72.1 million. In order to avoid the attention of anti-corruption authorities, the official did not include this property in his annual declarations.
The investigation began after the publication of a journalistic material by Radio Svoboda, which highlighted discrepancies between Kyrylenko's income and his property status.
The pre-trial investigation in the case has been completed. Now it is expected that the case materials will be submitted to the court. If Kyrylenka is found guilty, he faces serious legal consequences, including disqualification from holding office and a long prison term.
It will be recalled that in the Donetsk region, a private enterprise related to the former head of the regional administration, Pavel Kyrylenka, received contracts for the amount of 414 million hryvnias for works on the restoration of heat supply and water supply.
