Volodymyr Gavrylenko, known as "Gavrylo", former deputy head of the Main Department of the State Tax Service in Kyiv, became the object of an investigation by the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NACP). According to the information of journalist Taras Seredych, the agency detected signs of illegal enrichment and declaration of unreliable information in the amount of 25 million hryvnias. 
In his declaration for 2021, Gavrylenko stated that he used an apartment and two parking spaces in the Pechersk district of Kyiv with his wife, without specifying their value. However, a check showed that these objects were purchased by his father-in-law and mother-in-law for more than 16 million hryvnias, although their income since 1998 amounted to a little more than 1.7 million hryvnias. Contracts were concluded on behalf of the mother-in-law under a power of attorney issued by his wife.
During the investigation, Gavrylenko explained that the apartment and parking spaces were purchased by the father-in-law and mother-in-law with the money given to them by their 88-year-old grandfather in the amount of more than 20 million hryvnias. Additionally, the grandfather allegedly gave Havrylenka's wife 5 million hryvnias, which were also included in the declaration as cash ($175,000).
The sources of these funds, according to Havrylenko, are savings from income received from wages, the sale of real estate, movable property, a collection of ancient coins, icons and precious metals. However, he did not present any documents confirming these transactions.
In 2023, Volodymyr Havrylenko held the position of deputy head of the Main Department of the DPS in Kyiv. Previously, in 2021, he headed the Department of Internal Security of the Main Directorate of the Federal Security Service in the Kyiv region.
After being dismissed from his post in 2023, Volodymyr Gavrylenko left for the United States, where he has been living since November 2023, renting housing, the cost and area of which he also did not specify.
