The National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NACP) announced the discovery of unsubstantiated assets in the amount of 29 million hryvnias of the former Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine Dmytro Verbytskyi.
This was reported by the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption.
They say that on Verbytskyi's behalf, people related to him purchased the following assets:
LEXUS ES 300H car worth more than 960 thousand hryvnias;
LEXUS NX 300H car worth over 480,000 hryvnias;
a PORSCHE MACAN T car worth 3.5 million hryvnias;
a house and a plot of land in Kyiv worth 16.3 million hryvnias;
a house and a plot of land in Odesa worth 10 million hryvnias;
an apartment and a plot of land in Antalya (Turkey) worth 3.9 million hryvnias;
In addition, NAZK was unable to establish the legal sources of origin of more than 2 million in cash found on Verbytsky, as well as Tether (USDT) cryptocurrency.
The materials on unsubstantiated assets were sent to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine to be added to the materials of the criminal proceedings against the former Deputy Prosecutor General.
Verbytskyi's case
"Schem" journalists found out that Deputy Prosecutor General Dmytro Verbytsky settled in a house in the capital's elite cottage town "Konyk", which his nephew bought by proxy from an Odessa businessman for more than 2 million hryvnias, which, according to market prices, is 6 times undervalued.
"Schemes" also claim that since May 2024, Khrystyna Ilnytska, with whom Verbytsky is allegedly in a relationship, became the owner of one of the neighboring estates on the banks of the Konyk River. The approximate market value of such real estate reaches 48 million hryvnias, although the contract of sale of the house indicates that the woman paid about 2 million hryvnias for it.
The official himself denied that he helped Ilnytskyi with the acquisition of property.
In addition, journalists discovered that a few months before that, the woman had purchased a 2023 Porsche Macan T car worth $100,000. At the same time, Ilnytska's own total income, reported to the state for the last decade, amounts to slightly more than 360 thousand hryvnias.
Verbytskyi is the deputy prosecutor general, who is, in particular, responsible for issues related to combating economic crimes, tax evasion, and investment protection.
After the journalists' investigation, an official investigation was launched against Verbytskyi, the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption is conducting an audit of Verbytskyi's lifestyle, and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau opened criminal proceedings regarding his possible illegal enrichment.
Parliamentarians summoned Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin to the Verkhovna Rada for a report on the property of his deputy. However, Kostin did not come, explaining that an official inspection was currently underway, and therefore proposed to postpone the discussion.
Subsequently, Verbytskyi wrote a resignation letter to avoid a negative impact on the work of the Prosecutor General's Office. Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin signed the order for his release on July 1.
