According to the investigation, for three years, the official submitted declarations with significant violations. In particular, he did not declare real estate registered to a family member, valued at over UAH 7.2 million, and also concealed cash assets and financial obligations totaling approximately UAH 600,000. In total, according to the investigation, assets worth over UAH 9 million were not declared annually.
In addition, in 2025, the accused, without the necessary permits, organized excavation work at a national archaeological site. At his direction, a pit was dug and the cultural layer was removed, which contained the remains of 18th-century monastic buildings, burials, and objects from the Old Rus' period.
As a result of these actions, the state suffered losses amounting to over UAH 18.9 million. The case has now been referred to court for substantive consideration.
