Details
On February 3, 2025, the SAPO prosecutor filed a lawsuit with the High Anti-Corruption Court to declare UAH 3.4 million worth of assets unjustified and to recover them for the state (civil forfeiture), which formally belong to a relative but are actually used by the family of the former head of the district TCC and JV of Kharkiv
According to UNN sources , this is the former head of the Shevchenkivskyi District Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support of Kharkiv, Artur Vorontsov, who now heads the department for communal property management of the Lozova City Council of Kharkiv region.
The SAPO notes that based on the SBI materials, it was established that the mother-in-law of the head of the district TCC and JV of Kharkiv owns two new luxury cars worth UAH 3 million 423 thousand, which were purchased in 2022-2023.
“However, it turned out that the cars were actually used by the official and his close relatives, meaning that it was he who could perform actions with this asset that were identical to the right to dispose of it. At the same time, an analysis of the income and expenses of the official, his family members and relatives revealed that it was impossible to acquire these objects at the expense of legitimate income. Given the findings, the prosecutor filed a lawsuit to recover the said asset to the state, the legality of which raises reasonable doubts,” the SAPO added.
