The official was previously exposed in October 2025 for submitting false asset declarations. At that time, he failed to disclose cryptocurrencies and virtual asset transactions totalling approximately UAH 200 mln.

According to newly obtained evidence, the council member also attempted to conceal an additional UAH 340 million (USD 7.6 mln) of unexplained origin. Investigators found that between 2022 and 2025, he transferred funds to personal cryptocurrency wallets through intermediaries, deliberately omitting these assets from both his official declarations and tax filings.

Based on these findings, the suspect has been notified of suspicion under Article 368-5 of the CCU (illicit enrichment), which carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.

The pre-trial investigation is ongoing. The law enforcement agencies are working to identify the sources of the funds and all individuals involved in the scheme.

The operational and investigative actions were conducted by the SSU Poltava Office in cooperation with the National Police, under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor General’s Office.
