A senior SBU official is under investigation for corruption and false declarations.
This was reported by the SAP press service.
NABU and SAP uncovered a high-ranking officer from the SBU involved in illegal enrichment and submitting false information in declarations.
According to the investigation, in December 2023, the suspect purchased an apartment for 21.6 million UAH and registered it under a family member's name. However, the declared value of the property is only 12.8 million UAH.
To justify the source of the funds, the family member claimed to have earned them as an individual entrepreneur, providing legal and consulting services since February 2022.
Investigators found that funds were indeed deposited into the entrepreneur's accounts for allegedly provided legal and consulting services. However, these funds originated from an individual suspected of embezzling money from JSC «Ukrzaliznytsia» as part of an organized criminal group, as well as from companies controlled by the said individual.
Collected evidence indicates that such services were not rendered, and the companies exhibit signs of being fictitious.
Furthermore, there is no confirmation of the legal origin of the remaining funds spent on the apartment purchase amounting to 8.8 million UAH.
Qualification: Article 368-5 and part 2 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
