The National Police of Ukraine conducted 44 searches within the investigation of corruption schemes among officials of territorial centers of recruitment and social support (CCC and SP). During the work in 16 regions of the country, facts of illegal enrichment and false declaration for a total of almost 92 million hryvnias were revealed.
It is reported by the National Police of Ukraine, informs the portal PromPolitInform.
Illegal assets and Tesla: the results of searches
Operatives of the Department of Strategic Investigations, together with the SBI and the prosecutor’s office, held large-scale events at the places of residence and work of the defendants. During the searches were seized:
Tesla cars of different models and motorcycles;
cash in national and foreign currency;
documentation, in particular contracts for obtaining “irrevocable assistance” in the amount of UAH 1 million, which may indicate the legalization of illegal income.
The investigation focused special attention on the activities of the head of one of the district CCC in Odessa. According to police, the official during his tenure acquired assets worth more than 45 million hryvnia.
Fraud with declarations and official position
Law enforcers document the activities of both current and former heads of departments and groups of the CCC. In particular, the assistant chief of the united MTC found a discrepancy between the declaration and the real property as of UAH 10 million. The former officer of another district CCC has this figure of 6.6 million.
The police noted that the measures are aimed at restoring confidence in institutions that perform critical functions for the state in war conditions.
Administrative protocols and follow-up
In addition to criminal proceedings, over the course of several days, law enforcement officers compiled more than 150 protocols on administrative offenses related to corruption. We are talking about violations of the requirements of financial control (Articles 172-6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses), a conflict of interest (Articles 172-7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) and violation of restrictions on part-time work (Articles 172-4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses).
Currently, the collection of evidence is underway to declare suspicions to the defendants in criminal proceedings. All seized documents and enrichment facts will be checked within the current legislation.
