The National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NAPC) revealed significant violations in the declaration of the head of inter-district specialized tradepathological medical and social expert commission of the Lviv Regional Center of Medical and Social Expertise Zinovia Nikolishin. It is about undeclared land, non -compliance with income and expenses and false data on savings. The total amount of discrepancies amounted to UAH 12.75 million.
According to the results of the inspection for 2023, Nikolishin did not enter into the declaration three land plots in the Virlovsky village council of Zboriv district of Ternopil region, which since 2010 belong to a member of her family. The official also declared a cash of $ 60,000 and 500 thousand hryvnias, and for a family member - $ 240 thousand and UAH 800,000. However, during the explanation, she stated that she made a technical error and accidentally indicated an amount that was ten times higher than real savings. The NACC did not accept this argument because it did not have documentary confirmation.
The agency analyzed the income of the Nikolyshyn family from 1998 to 2023. It turned out that the total income of the couple during this period was 3 million hryvnias. At the same time, their expenses for the purchase of real estate and the car were much higher than that income. In particular, in 2019, the family bought a dwelling house for UAH 2.41 million, as well as a land plot for 189 thousand hryvnias. In 2021, they purchased the 2019 Volkswagen Touareg for UAH 1.47 million. In total, the costs amounted to UAH 4 million, which already exceeded their official income.
As for the origin of significant cash assets, the official claimed that these funds were accumulated throughout his life and were inherited, as well as that her husband made big money in Siberia and Kamchatka in the 1980s and 1990s. However, it could not provide documentary confirmation of these sources of income. In addition, the NAPC found that Nikolyshyn did not make correction in the declaration, although it had the opportunity within 30 days after its submission.
The detected violations are questioned by the legality of the origin of the officials. Currently, the case can be transferred to law enforcement agencies for further investigation.
