The National Agency for Corruption Prevention has exposed the former head of the Main Department of the State Tax Service in Ternopil region for false declarations totaling over UAH 22.5 million. The violations identified concern declarations for 2022 and 2023.
According to the NACP report, in the declaration for 2022, the defendant did not indicate property worth more than UAH 13.2 million, and in the document for 2023 - more than UAH 9.3 million.
In particular, the official concealed information about two residential buildings with an area of 296 m² and 64.6 m², which formally belong to his mother, but were actually used by him and his family. The land plots on which these objects are located were also not specified.
The former official denied that he used the property, but the NACP, together with the State Bureau of Investigation, collected evidence to the contrary. It was established that the owner of the houses - his mother - did not actually live in them or use them.
Based on the results of the inspection, the NACP made substantiated conclusions about the signs of a criminal offense under Part 2 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (false declaration) and transferred the materials to the State Bureau of Investigation, which is conducting a pre-trial investigation.
