HACC Appeals Chamber Upholds Suspicion Against Sumy Tax Official
The Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court did not cancel the notice of suspicion issued against Lyudmila Dyadchenko, head of the tax audit department of the Main Department of the State Tax Service in Sumy region. NABU and SAPO suspect her of receiving illegal benefits.
As indicated, on October 30, the investigating judge of the Higher Criminal Court of Justice did not see Dyadchenko's complaint regarding the reported suspicion to be satisfied. Her defense attorney filed an appeal against this decision.
The appeal shall be dismissed, and the ruling of the investigating judge of the High Anti-Corruption Court of October 30, 2026 shall be left unchanged.
Lyudmila Dyadchenko is a figurehead of the EBK base.
Recall, according to the investigation, the head of the department Dyadchenko, in a preliminary collusion with other officials, demanded UAH 2 million and received UAH 1.5 million from the entrepreneur for successfully passing the inspection and not creating obstacles in the further economic activity of the company in the frontline area. Detectives of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau searched Dyadchenko's house and found UAH 73,500 in cash. The banknote numbers of these funds coincide with part of the illegal benefit of UAH 1.5 million provided to the tax authority.
We previously reported that the AC of the HACC of Ukraine has scheduled a hearing on appeals in the Yurchenko case.
