The leadership of the National Academy of Internal Affairs, headed by the rector Ruslan Serbyn, his deputies Serhiy Chernyavsky, Oleg Tarasenko and Stanislav Mozol, built a system of enrichment from official housing. According to the scheme, which operated for several years, apartments from the developer LLC "BC "Intergal-Bud" instead of Academy employees became the property of people close to the leadership.
New buildings like the City Hub residential complex officially provided housing in quotas for the academy. Then everything was controlled by Rector Serbiny: in order to legalize the receipt of apartments, officials artificially created “pretexts”. In particular, they transferred real estate to relatives, fictitiously returned old apartments or registered “deterioration of housing conditions”. As a result, the apartments were quickly privatized and sold at market prices.
Analysis of the Academy management's declarations confirms the concealment of real assets. Luxury apartments and expensive cars were registered to wives, children, or other relatives. The value of the property was significantly understated: an apartment with a market price of over a million hryvnias was listed in the documents for a few thousand, and an SUV for several hundred thousand was "officially" purchased for ridiculous amounts. This allowed them to avoid taxation and hide real income.
Particularly telling are cases where apartments were resold less than a month after they were received. The new owners already had several apartments in the capital, so there was no question of actually providing employees with housing. This rather resembles a well-established scheme of converting official privileges into cash.
Despite the obvious violations, law enforcement and regulatory authorities did not react. According to sources, they turned a blind eye to the fraud in exchange for "kickbacks." Thus, the Academy, which was supposed to take care of the professional training of future law enforcement officers, turned into a platform for its management to profit.
