Polish prosecutors have handed over to Ukraine evidence of alleged money laundering by the family of former head of the Khmelnytskyi Region's MSEC, Tetyana Krupa. The case has already been merged with criminal proceedings on illicit enrichment.

This was reported by Glavkom with reference to the court register.

In February, the deputy district prosecutor of the District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw transferred to the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine the materials of the criminal proceedings involving Krupa, her husband Volodymyr, and daughter-in-law Kateryna.

According to Polish law enforcement, between May 29, 2022 and October 17, 2024, Krup and his family imported significant amounts of money from Ukraine to Poland. It is stated that these are funds "obtained from profits related to the commission of prohibited acts." However, it is not specified what is meant by this statement.

According to the investigation, the Krupa family then deposited the imported cash into bank accounts during their stay in Krakow, Wroclaw, Szczecin, and other unspecified locations and subsequently transferred it to the accounts of institutions in Switzerland and the USA.

That is, they committed actions related to the disposal of property, the actual circumstances of which indicate that it was obtained by criminal means, including the implementation of a financial transaction with such property and its movement.

It is reported that in late February, Ukrainian law enforcement officers opened a new case against Krupa - under the article "Legalization (laundering) of property obtained by crime." In mid-March, this episode was added to the case in which the former head of the MSEC is suspected of illicit enrichment.

Ukrainian law enforcement officers are currently preparing documents on providing international legal assistance. This concerns temporary access to information on bank accounts opened for Krupa and her daughter-in-law in Polish banks (Bank Pekao SA, BNP Paribas Bank Polska SA, PKO Bank Polski SA) and the Austrian Erste Bank Oberbank, where the former head of the MSEC, her husband and daughter-in-law have accounts.

It is reported that the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine is preparing interrogations. In addition to the aforementioned members of Krupa's family, her son, the former head of the Pension Fund in Khmelnytskyi region, Oleksandr Krupa, will be questioned. The interrogation will concern the funds they took out of Ukraine and deposited into accounts in foreign banks.
