The mayor of the city of Brovary, Ihor Sapozhko, together with his wife, a deputy of the Kyiv regional council Maryna Sapozhko, found themselves under the influence of a scandal due to accusations of concealing property worth a million dollars. According to the media, the couple did not indicate a significant amount of property in their declaration, which contradicts their actual financial capabilities and status.
Ihor Sapozhko is known for his political activities as the mayor of the city of Brovary, located near the capital of Ukraine, and is a representative of the All-Ukrainian Union "Batkivshchyna" party. His wife, Maryna Sapozhko, is a deputy of the Kyiv Regional Council from the same party.
The Sapozhko family is also known for its attempts to control the information field in the region, trying to limit access to information through the local media that publicizes the negative aspects of their activities.
At first glance, the spouse's declaration does not stand out among middle-income families.
In particular, in his last annual declaration for 2023, Igor Sapozhko declared: two plots of land (27,700 m2 and 636 m2), income - wages (604,935 UAH), income from renting property (18,634 m2), personal savings of Igor 625,000 hryvnias. Maryna Sapozhko's wife owns 4 plots of land (1175 m2, 386 m2, 500 m2, 190 m2), a residential building - 168.4 m2 (built in 2008, located in the village of Hnidyn, Kyiv region), an apartment - 113.5 m2 ( purchased in 2007). Marina Sapozhko's income is a salary (289,668 UAH), she has no personal savings.
Igor owns a 2023 VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 CROZZ, purchased in 2023 for UAH 1,036,000. Igor uses a 2021 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER (owner – KOMCON SECURITY COMPANY LLC). Maryna Sapozhko is using a 2019 RANGE ROVER SPORT (the owner is Igor Sapozhko's mother, Hanna Petrivna Sapozhko). According to the declaration, the couple has a minor son, Danylo, for whom ownership of the property was not registered.
However, this is only the official part of the couple's fortune, so the journalists decided to take a closer look at their household.
On a picturesque lawn there is a luxurious house with an area of 250-300 sq.m. , luxury cars, boxes for four cars, a swimming pool and a spa center with a pool. I wonder why there is a garage for four cars, if the family owns one car according to the declaration. And the pool and SPA center costs more than 150 thousand US dollars . For what money? If the family's total savings are declared up to one million hryvnias.
Marina No, Mrs. Marina did not switch to public transport, on the same day, September 2, 2023, she switched to a new car RANGE ROVER SPORT 2023 with the state number АИ0007ОИ , which she uses together with her husband , and she probably accidentally forgot to declare it. price of the car on the date of purchase is 160-200 thousand dollars, depending on the configuration. A car registered at the UKRGEFEST PBP, which regularly wins in procurements conducted by utility companies of the Brovary City Council. The company tendered more than UAH 32 Mykola Shved, a friend of Mr. Igor Sapozhko, controls the company And all the companies under the control of the latter received more than UAH 100 million from the municipal enterprises of Brovary. It will be recalled that another of his companies, "KOMCON SECURITY COMPANY" LLC, provided Ihor Sapozhko with a 2021 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER (state number КА9993АР). Which may indicate the actual ownership of Komkon by the odious mayor of the city.
In addition to son Danylo, the family also has a daughter Diana Igorivna Sapozhko (born in 2003). The latter tries to find herself in creativity, sings under the pseudonym Dimaria. On the personal pages of social networks, you can notice a fairly good promotion of the singer: radio, television, music videos, magazines, her face was on the largest shopping malls of Kyiv. All this is quite expensive for the singer and her sponsors. However, few people know the singer outside the city of Brovary. In 2024, Diana Sapozhko got into a scandal by heading a charitable foundation, the founder of which appropriated funds for 30,000 body armor for the Armed Forces. Diana never worked anywhere else.
We were interested in the fact that Diana's parents did not mention her in the declaration for 2022 and 2023, although she lived with them in Hnidyna. And here's why.
In January 2022, when Diana Sapozhko was 19 years old, she became the owner of a 2021 Audi Q8, the price on the day of purchase was approximately $100,000. Already in August 2022, Mykola Shved sold the Audi Q8 by proxy. After that, on August 28, 2022, a brand new 2022 Lexus NX200 was registered to Diana, the price of which at the time of purchase was 50-60 thousand dollars. The young singer travels in the specified car in the cities of Europe and the capital of our Nenka Ukraine, which she flaunts on her Instagram . However, the specified car was spotted on the territory of the specified estate of the Sapozhki , which in turn indicates that Diana lives together with her parents. Why the Sapozhkas declare the car and other property of their daughter , with whom they live together ? But these are not all the acquisitions of the young singer. We learned that in September 2022, Diana Sapozhko purchased real estate in the city of Zadar, Republic of Croatia (sister city of Brovariv) for the amount of more than 400,000 US dollars .
As we can see, the happy couple of officials "FORGOT" to declare assets acquired since 2022 in the amount of approximately one million US dollars or forty million hryvnias , "honestly" earned from the budget of the city of Brovary only the mayor is employed in the family .
