The Specialized Anti -Corruption Prosecutor's Office filed a lawsuit against the Supreme Anti -Corruption Court on the civil confiscation of assets that, according to the investigation, were acquired without lawful sources of income. It is about the property of the former chief of the Main Directorate of the State traffic police in the Chernihiv region, her mother and son.
The total amount of assets that the prosecutor's office wants to collect state income is over UAH 8.4 million.
As the National Agency for Prevention of Corruption, the State Bureau of Investigation and the SAP found out, from 2021 to 2023, the officials acquired the officials:
-
Volvo car,
-
apartment in the residential complex of Kiev,
-
Four parking spaces in the same LCD.
However, the analysis of official declarations and sources of income showed that there are no confirmations of the legal origin of funds for these purchases. Therefore, prosecutors went to court with a claim for recognition of this property unjustified and subject to civil confiscation.
In order to ensure the case, the Supreme Anti -Corruption Court has already seized the assets.
Civil confiscation is applied in Ukraine within the framework of anti -corruption reform - a legal mechanism that allows for the removal of property into income by property acquired without confirmed sources of income, even without the existence of an indictment if the court recognizes assets unjustified.
Earlier, the SAP has repeatedly applied this rule to officials of tax, customs and law enforcement agencies. In this case, the property is issued for relatives, but the law allows to collect assets, if they proved that they were actually acquired at the expense of the official or through related persons.
The case is currently being considered by Wax. If the claim is satisfied, this will be another precedent to combat illegal enrichment through family relations in public authorities.
