Vinnytsia district deputy to stand trial over declaration
A deputy of a village council in Vinnytsia district will be tried for false declarations. According to the investigation, he failed to include assets worth over 11 million hryvnias in his documents.
This was reported on the Vinnytsia Region Police website.
The MP was suspected in February of this year. Law enforcement officers believe that the man intentionally did not reflect property and money in his 2022 tax declaration. These are the results of an inspection by the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NAPC).
In particular, according to the investigation, the deputy did not indicate in the declaration: a land plot with an area of 0.10 hectares, ½ share of an apartment in Vinnytsia; funds placed in accounts in banking institutions for a total amount of over 6.2 million hryvnias, as well as funds in foreign currency and 4.5 million hryvnias lent to a legal entity.
The village council deputy will be tried for declaring false information, part 2 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. If proven guilty, he faces a fine or imprisonment for up to two years with a ban on holding certain positions for three years.
