Scandals: in September 2023, the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NACP) discovered unsubstantiated assets of the head of the Sambir RTCC and SP (former military commissar) Serhii Babich. It is about real estate worth UAH 4.4 million, which the military officer and his wife purchased during 2020-2022.
As indicated in the notification of the National Security Agency for September 22, employees of the National Security Agency monitored the lifestyle of the Sambir Military Committee and found unjustified assets worth UAH 4.4 million. It was established that the declarant and his wife purchased a number of real estate objects during 2020-2022.
The military officer explained that the real estate was purchased at the expense of the family's savings for the previous period, the wages of family members, as well as a gift from the mother in the amount of 42 thousand dollars.
"However, analyzing the income of the declarant and the expenses of the family in recent years, the NAKC established that the head of the Sambir district TCC did not have the opportunity to purchase property in a legal way. The difference between the value of the real estate and the official income of the family amounts to more than 4.4 million UAH," - reports the NAKC .
Related persons: to be established.
Persons who should respond: materials related to Babich's activities were transferred to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office to resolve the issue of applying to court with a claim to declare the assets unfounded and collect them from state income. That is why the SAP should respond to Babich's activities today.
