In 2024, the National Anti -Corruption Agency (NAPC) completed 715 full checks of declarations, of which in 353 cases, ie in half, unreliable information was found. About it reports "Law and Business" with reference to the NAPC.
NAPC audits found significant amounts of false information in a number of officials. The loudest cases include:
- Former deputy chairman of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration : more than UAH 130 million in the declaration for 2021. Criminal proceedings of the National Police have been launched.
- Deputy Head of the Regional Service Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Odessa, Mykolaiv and Kherson regions : UAH 100.9 million in the declaration for 2021 and UAH 48.8 million for 2022. DBR is already working on the case.
- Former Deputy Head of the Transcarpathian Customs Department : record amounts - UAH 306.9 million in the declaration for 2023 and UAH 286 million for 2022.
- Former chairman of the Belgorod-Dnestrovsky District Council of Odessa region : more than UAH 59.6 million in the declaration for 2021.
- Former deputy of the Obukhov District Council : almost UAH 373 million in the declaration for 2022.
- Member of Kamianets-Podilskyi City Council : UAH 253 million in the declaration for 2021 and UAH 252 million for 2022.
In 2024, 228 substantiated conclusions were sent to the competent authorities on the offenses provided for by Articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Articles 368-5-illegal enrichment, Art. 366-2-declaration of false information). Another 85 conclusions relate to administrative offenses under Part 4 of Art. 172-6 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses (Code of Administrative Offenses).
In addition, in 2024, 209 criminal proceedings were initiated on the inspection materials, which indicates the scale of the problem with declaration among Ukrainian officials.
The results of NAPC work in 2024 confirm that corruption in Ukraine remains a systemic problem. The false declaration and illegal enrichment are striking in their scale, in particular because of the amounts calculated by hundreds of millions of hryvnias.
This situation poses to society and the authorities: do mechanisms of preventing corruption work effectively? And will the criminal cases initiated on these facts will be brought to the logical completion?
