Former head of SBU department reported on suspicion of illegal enrichment

The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) have exposed a high-ranking SBU official in illegal enrichment and declaring false information. Although his name is not officially mentioned, according to journalists, it is Ilya Vityuk, the former head of the SBU Cybersecurity Department.

According to the investigation, in December 2023, Vityuk registered an elite apartment for a relative, the cost of which is estimated at 21.6 million hryvnias. At the same time, the purchase and sale agreement indicated an understated price of 12.8 million hryvnias.

A member of Vityuk's family tried to explain the origin of the funds as income from entrepreneurial activities. However, NABU detectives established that the money in the account came from a person who is himself suspected of embezzling Ukrzaliznytsia funds as part of a criminal group, as well as from companies controlled by this person.

The NABU emphasizes that, despite the statements about the provision of legal and consulting services, the investigation did not find evidence of their provision. Most of the companies that transferred the funds have signs of fictitiousness. In addition, the legality of the origin of another 8.8 million hryvnias spent on the purchase of housing was not confirmed.

The suspect's actions were classified under articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine on illegal enrichment and declaring false information. The investigation is ongoing.
