The National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NAPC) found that Sergey Duran, Deputy Head of the Mobile Scanning Systems Department of Customs Control of Transcarpathian Customs, provided false information in his declaration in the amount of UAH 307 million.
About it reports the detective bureau of ABSURTION.
During the inspection of the declarations for 2022 and 2023, it was found that the official intentionally reduced the value of several real estate objects belonging to his family members.

In particular, the declaration indicated the reduced value of the land plot and a non -residential premises with a total area of 61.8 square meters. m, the cost of which was reduced by over UAH 290 thousand. In addition, no information about an apartment with an area of 42.8 sq.m, purchased by a member of the Duran family in 2017, was not listed in the declaration.
But most attention has caused the mismatch of Duran's property status to his official income. The customs officer declared 140 thousand euros and $ 216.5 thousand (14.13 million hryvnias), but during the audit it was found that he could not accumulate such an amount without providing any supporting documents on the origin of these funds.
The NAPC's serious remarks also concern the financial condition of Duran's wife, Elena Stegura, who declared assets worth 311 million hryvnias. However, according to the check, the amount of family savings could not exceed UAH 18.53 million. Elena Stegura's total income for 2023 amounted to only UAH 6.7 million, and her expenses per year - UAH 1.25 million.
These violations have led to a significant difference between declared assets and real income worth UAH 307 million. The NACC found that in the actions of Sergiy Duran there are signs of an offense provided for in Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which provides for liability for the false declaration of property and income.
