According to information from the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), a senior official at the Khmelnytskyi City Department of the State Migration Service – who also serves as a member of the Chornoostrivskyi Settlement Council – has been charged with concealing assets worth over 13 million hryvnias in his declaration.

Details

As noted, back in autumn 2023, the official’s wife became the owner of a café and several office premises in the village of Chornyi Ostriv, Khmelnytskyi district. The property, covering over 900 square metres, was valued at 13.7 million hryvnias upon commissioning. The official decided to conceal this value when completing his declaration, as he realised it did not correspond to the couple’s actual income and total assets.
