The National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption exposed the People's Deputy Bohdan Torokhti in the false declaration - according to the results of a full verification of his documentation for 2022 it turned out that the data did not agree on more than UAH 2.7 million.
In particular, the deputy has replenished his bank accounts for more than UAH 3.2 million during the year. One account - by UAH 2.1 million, the other is another 1.1 million. However, the official income of the parliamentarian amounted to only UAH 1.1 million, including salaries, compensation for housing and travel costs. In addition, he sold a Mercedes-Benz G 400 car for UAH 6.5 million, but this agreement was held after most cash receipts.
The difference of 2.2 million hryvnias remained unexplained - neither the declaration nor the explanations of Torochti have clarified the situation. The deputy stated that his wife and relatives used the cards, and that he allegedly replenished the accounts for acquaintances who returned him cash.
The NACC was not explained - the department emphasizes that the amounts are too large, to talk about "household expenses".
Also, the declaration was not stated:
-
$ 5300 in the deputy's foreign exchange account;
-
$ 3,000 on his wife's account.
In addition, the cash savings of Torochti in UAH increased by UAH 4.8 million a year, although currency - on the contrary, decreased.
As a result, the NAPC came to the conclusion: the deputy submitted inaccurate data that differ significantly from reality. In his actions they see signs of a criminal offense under Art. 366-2 of the Criminal Code-unreliable declaration.
