It is reported that as part of the pre-trial investigation carried out by NABU detectives, it was established that in 2020-2022 the official acquired assets worth UAH 17.1 million. we are talking about 2 cars (Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen), 2 motorcycles (Honda and BMW), three parking spaces in Kiev, an apartment in a prestigious residential complex in Lviv and a land plot in Transcarpathia.
The vast majority of the acquired property was registered to the sibling, but the person retained the right to dispose of it in full.
