The investigation closed the criminal proceedings against the former official of the State Treasury of Poltava Region Igor Veriga. He was suspected of illegal enrichment and laundering of property in particularly large sizes, but he declared millions of hryvnias and did not find actual confirmation.
According to the Poltava Regional Prosecutor's Office, the criminal proceedings were closed after the investigation did not find the assets declared. It turned out that the property seized during the searches in the premises of relatives and loved ones did not belong. It is, in particular, of cash, jewelry, gold, weapons, expensive watches and even Russian awards.
In 2023, Veriga indicated in the declaration of inheritance from his parents in the amount of almost UAH 96 million. At the same time, declared assets were estimated at $ 62 million, which significantly exceeds the declared inheritance. In addition, the exponent noted that it has precious metals in ingots for more than UAH 38 million.
The National Anti -Corruption Agency has established that Igor Veriga had fallen into the declaration false information. The case was then re -qualified from the article on illegal enrichment to declare false information. The indictment was transferred to the Kyiv District Court of Poltava.
In parallel, the regional prosecutor's office informed that the property seized during the searches was returned to legal owners - relatives and relatives who are not civil servants.
Particular attention was paid to findings with the Russian trace. Veriga stored the breast marks "For War Valor", the honors "For merit in the dinner of the chemical ore", a certificate for awards without names, as well as the sign "Internal Army of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia". It is known that Igor Veriga is a relative of General of the Russian Federation Valery Kapashin - his brother married the daughter of the Russian military.
The property owned by the Kapashin and stored in Poltava is currently being prepared for the transfer of the manager through the Agency for the Investigation and Management of Assets (ARMA). One of the companies that went to the competition was eliminated through the found connection with Russia and Kapashin.
