Director of the Institute of General Energy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Vitaliy Babak found himself at the center of a scandal due to undeclared property worth over 3 million hryvnias.
As journalists from Absolution Leaks found out, the official did not indicate in his declaration several real estate objects that formally belong to his family members. This refers to a residential building in Kyiv, a land plot with an area of 989 sq. m. and another building on this territory . At the same time, the market value of this property, according to experts, reaches millions of hryvnias.
The value of the Hyundai Tucson (2019) car was overstated. The declarant indicated that the vehicle cost 730 thousand UAH, however, according to the Unified State Register and the payment receipt, the real value of the car is 680 thousand UAH.
The discrepancies in the declaration amount to over 3 million UAH, which was qualified by the NACP under Part 1 of Article 366-1 of the Criminal Code. The NACP transferred the materials for further consideration by law enforcement agencies.
We will remind, the vice-rector for scientific work of the National University "Odesa Law Academy" Minas Arakelyan indicated that his wife bought a Porsche Cayenne for 14 thousand hryvnias.
