In the declarations of police officers, data that are difficult to reconcile with official incomes are increasingly appearing. One such case is the declared assets of Ivan Andrushko, a member of the investigative department for the investigation of crimes in the field of transport of the Main Department of National Police of Vinnytsia region. In 2025, he became the owner of two new cars - a 2025 Skoda Octavia (1.1 million UAH) and a 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser (2.4 million UAH). The total amount of purchases is about 3.5 million UAH.
At the same time, the investigator's declared income for 2024 is UAH 410,000, and his cash assets are UAH 830,000. This is clearly not enough to purchase two premium cars. An explanation appears in the declaration for January 2025: Andrushko indicated UAH 2.9 million in income from the sale of movable property.
However, the declarations for 2023 indicate that this movable property is two premium cars:
• Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 2019 — declared for UAH 4,000;
• Audi A8 2021 — declared for UAH 5,000.
Total — 9,000 UAH. In a short period, these cars were sold for almost three million UAH. The market value of such cars in both 2023 and 2024 did not come close to the amounts indicated in the declaration. The difference between the purchase and sale price is measured in hundreds of times.
Such a sharp “increase in value” looks like a classic scheme to distort the real price of assets, which makes it possible to legalize significant amounts of money through a formally legal transaction.
It is significant that this is an investigator of the police transport unit - an official whose job is to identify violations, not to demonstrate them in his own declarations. The situation requires an investigation by the NACP, the Department of Internal Security of the National Police, and anti-corruption agencies.
Until such declarations trigger a reaction from regulatory agencies, talk of financial transparency in law enforcement agencies remains a formality.
