The declarations of the former head of the Khmelnytskyi MSEC, Tetiana Krupa, revealed violations worth more than UAH 34.8 million.
This was reported by the NACP press service, Censor.NET reports.
Thus, during a full inspection of the declaration for 2022, signs of illicit enrichment and false declaration of information worth more than UAH 16.5 million were found.
"In particular, the declarant and her husband exported more than UAH 38 million in different currencies from Ukraine in 2022. The origin of UAH 16.4 million was not confirmed by official documents, which is a sign of illicit enrichment, and information about such income was not indicated in the declaration," the statement said.
In addition, during the re-examination of the 2023 declaration, initiated due to newly discovered circumstances, it was found that Krupa failed to provide information about monetary assets worth UAH 18 million, the right to which belongs to her husband, and she could not have been unaware of their existence.
The source of the funds, which were later seized during the pre-trial investigation, was also not confirmed. In total, in 2023, signs of false declarations worth more than UAH 18.3 million were detected.
The audits also revealed cryptocurrency hidden from declaration and belonging to the declarant's husband.
Reasoned conclusions were sent to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, the Agency added.
