Lviv land registry chief charged over attempted bribery of NACP official
Employees of the State Bureau of Investigation, in cooperation with the National Agency for Corruption Prevention, detained the head of the State Geocadastre department in the Lviv region, who was trying to bribe an employee of the NACP.
The official offered a NACP employee $30,000 for positive results in monitoring his lifestyle and those associated with him. In this way, he sought to avoid detection of possible violations and liability
We are talking about Andriy Kavetsky. The NACP began monitoring at the end of 2025 at the initiative of the State Bureau of Investigation within the framework of a separate criminal proceeding being investigated by the Bureau.
In June 2026, the head of the regional State Geocadastre began to persistently seek a personal meeting with the head of one of the NACP divisions. During the meeting in Lviv, he offered the Agency official $30,000 for the desired monitoring result. Trying to hide the content of the conversation, the man wrote the bribe amount in pen on a napkin.
The NACP employee immediately reported the illegal offer to the Agency's management. This allowed law enforcement officers to document the official's illegal actions. He subsequently scheduled a new meeting and arrived in Kyiv.
On July 27, 2026, in Kyiv, the official personally transferred the agreed amount. He hid the money in a cardboard tube from a bottle of alcoholic beverages. He was detained immediately after transferring the funds.
He was informed of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - offering, promising, or providing an improper benefit to an official holding a responsible position.
The issue of choosing a preventive measure in the form of detention for the suspect is currently being resolved.
We previously reported that the acting director of the Institute of Agrarian Resources and Regional Development of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine will be tried in Transcarpathia. The official is suspected of official forgery and abuse of power, which caused the state to lose almost 680 thousand hryvnias .
In addition, in Mykolaiv, the director of a road construction company is suspected of embezzling money during road surface repairs . According to the investigation, he signed documents with false information, and the work was not completed in full. The amount of damage is 581 thousand hryvnias.
