As is known, the High Anti-Corruption Court confiscated a residential building with a total area of ​​284.9 square meters in the Kyiv region and six land plots with an area of ​​0.1381 hectares. The Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court upheld this decision. Firsov filed an appeal against this decision.

Ruslan Firsov is a suspect in the EBK database.

Recall, the SAPO requested to confiscate the assets of the Kyiv Customs official Ruslan Firsov . According to the prosecutor's office, in April 2023, the mother of the Kyiv customs officer purchased a residential building and six land plots, which constitute one estate in the suburbs of Kyiv, for more than UAH 8.6 million. Later, she issued a power of attorney to her son and his wife to represent her on all issues related to these real estate objects.

However, an analysis of the official's mother's income and expenses established the impossibility of acquiring these real estate objects from legal sources. At the same time, the official himself, who has been working in civil service positions for over 25 years, and his wife, who worked in customs authorities until April 2023, did not possess legal income and assets to purchase the above-mentioned property.
