Case Against Ex-SSU Cybersecurity Chief Vitiuk Sent to Court
The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau have sent to court a case of illegal enrichment of the former director of the cybersecurity department of the Security Service of Ukraine, Ilya Vityuk.
The SAPO prosecutor, based on the materials of the NABU pre-trial investigation, has sent an indictment to the court in the case against a senior SSU officer. He is accused of illegal enrichment and declaring false information
As part of the pre-trial investigation, it was established that in December 2023, the official purchased an apartment for UAH 21.6 million and registered it for a family member. At the same time, according to the contract, its value is UAH 12.8 million. To substantiate the origin of the funds, the family member indicated that he earned them as an individual entrepreneur - since February 2022, he had been providing legal and consulting services.
Investigators established that funds were indeed received into the accounts of the individual entrepreneur for the alleged provision of legal and consulting services, but from a person suspected of misappropriating funds of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" as part of a criminal organized group, as well as from companies controlled by the said person.
Thus, the collected evidence indicates that such services were not provided, and the companies have signs of fictitiousness, law enforcement officials said. In addition, there is no confirmation of the legal origin of the remaining funds spent on the purchase of the apartment in the amount of UAH 8.8 million.
The actions of the SSU official were qualified under Art. 368-5 and Part 2 of Art. 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine
