Ex-Sambir TCP Head Suspected of Hiding UAH 4.5M in Assets
Former head of the Sambir RTCP, Bohdan Semenyn, was found to have hidden assets worth over UAH 4.5 million. He was suspected of making false declarations.
As reported by the territorial department of the State Border Guard and the special prosecutor's office in the field of defense of the Western region, the NACP conducted a full check of the declaration of the 45-year-old former head of the district TCP, according to the results of which he was informed of suspicion of intentionally concealing property worth over 4.5 million UAH.
In the declaration for 2024, while still in service, the colonel did not indicate an apartment in a new building in Lviv worth over UAH 1.8 million. The property rights to the housing were registered in the name of his wife. Despite this, the official did not indicate the property rights to the apartment in the declaration and indicated that he and his family members do not have any unfinished construction objects
In addition, the spouses' declared cash savings significantly exceeded the amounts they could have accumulated from confirmed sources of income. The former official indicated more than 2.5 million UAH of his own cash. At the same time, according to confirmed sources of income, he could have accumulated no more than 684 thousand UAH. The difference was more than 1.8 million UAH.
Another $40,000 and UAH 376,000 were listed as the wife's cash. At that time, her income allowed her to accumulate no more than UAH 1.2 million. The discrepancy was UAH 840,600.
According to the investigation, the total amount of false information in the declaration exceeded UAH 4.5 million. The former official is charged with intentionally entering knowingly false information into the declaration by the subject of the declaration (Part 1 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The court will choose a preventive measure for him. According to media reports, the former head of the Sambir RTCP, Bohdan Semenyna, was suspected. He was previously exposed in the fictitious registration of an acquaintance for military service.
In addition, in the Dnipropetrovsk region, suspicion was reported against an official who, according to law enforcement officials, promised to help an applicant enroll in college in exchange for a bribe.
