The head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Council, Violetta Labaziuk, found herself under the hot media spotlight because of her precious watch, despite attempts to hide the brand and model of the accessory.
According to information released by the media, the watch worn by Violetta Labaziuk turned out to be a Premier Moon Phase model from the American jewelry brand Harry Winston.
This elite accessory is known for its luxurious design and high cost, which reaches 20,465 dollars or approximately 830 thousand hryvnias at the official exchange rate. The case of the watch is made of 18-carat white gold, the blue strap is made of alligator skin. It has a fixed bezel, a blue mother-of-pearl beaded dial, white gold hands and diamond markers, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
At the same time, Violetta Labaziuk did not include this watch in her declaration for 2023. Only a watch from Chopard is listed there, and two chronometers from Breguet and Rolex, which were purchased for 400,000 in 2022 at the height of the war, are listed for her husband, People's Deputy Serhiy Labazyuk.
We will remind, Serhiy Labazyuk was accused of bribery, he was even taken into custody, but he was released from the pre-trial detention center the next day on bail of UAH 40 million.
