The Supreme Anti -Corruption Court granted the claim of the Specialized Anti -Corruption Prosecutor's Office, filed on the NAPC materials, and confiscated the property of the family from among civil servants, recognizing it as unfounded. It is about assets with a total value of UAH 8.5 million owned by the Odessa customs officers and their son - an official of the district council in the Kyiv region.
According to the results of lifestyle monitoring, the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption found that in 2021 the spouse - the head of the department and the chief inspector of the Odessa customs - purchased a space of an apartment in Odessa. In parallel, their son, who held the post of deputy chairman of the district council in the Kyiv region, became the owner of the capital apartment and hybrid SUV Toyota RAV-4.
However, the family decided to be safe: the ownership of all these assets was not issued, but to a close relative of 1937. Probably to avoid attention from the controlling bodies.
However, the attempt to hide the property was futile. As the NAPC found out, there were no income that could explain the purchase of such real estate and transport. The institutions conducted financial analysis and concluded that these assets could not be acquired legally. Moreover, after the officials learned about the monitoring, they immediately got rid of the property - obviously tried to avoid possible consequences.
However, the court decided differently. The assets will be confiscated in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Code. The sentence can be appealed, but only within 30 days of the full text of the decision.
Thus, Wax reaffirmed once again: even an attempt to hide illegal property through relatives does not save from responsibility.
