Under the procedural guidance of prosecutors from the Office of the Prosecutor General, a member of the Poltava City Council has been notified of suspicion for submitting knowingly false information in the declarations of a person authorized to perform local self-government functions (Part 2 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

According to the investigation, during the submission of declarations for the years 2022–2024, the deputy concealed virtual assets belonging to him and his close relatives, as well as transactions involving them, totaling over 200 million UAH.

In 2025, he submitted amended documents in which he partially declared intangible assets and transactions involving them; however, the submitted data was also not accurate.

The exposure was carried out by prosecutors from the Office of the Prosecutor General in collaboration with investigators from the Main Investigative Department of the National Police of Ukraine and employees of the Security Service of Ukraine in the Poltava region.

Pre-trial investigation is ongoing. The issue of choosing a preventive measure for the suspect is being resolved.

Note: according to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in a lawful manner and established by a court verdict.
