Ex-Lviv Customs Officer Detained for Illegal Enrichment

A former employee of Lviv Customs was suspected of illegal enrichment.

The investigation established that the defendant acquired unfounded assets worth over 12 million hryvnias. These include a residential building in the Dnipropetrovsk region, 22 land plots in the Dnipropetrovsk and Lviv regions, Jeep Cherokee, Toyota Venza and KamAZ cars, a trailer and a Brig Falkon 450L watercraft, as well as an EO-2621 excavator.

The suspect registered the aforementioned assets for himself and his loved ones: his wife, father, and father-in-law.

The customs officer is charged with committing a crime under Article 368-5 (illegal enrichment) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

The issue of choosing a preventive measure for the perpetrator and applying to the court with motions to seize assets is being resolved.

The Prosecutor General's Office noted that in June last year, an indictment was filed against the same person for receiving more than $38,000 in bribes. The illegal benefit was transferred to him for importing construction materials under the guise of humanitarian aid.

Earlier, the court reduced the bail of the director in the Kubrakov bribery case.

We also wrote that the HACC confiscated the apartment of the former deputy head of the Poltava Region TCP.
