Position: deputy of the Gostomel settlement council.
Sphere of corrupt activity: state finances.
Region of corruption activity: Kyiv region.
Qualification: Drapey's actions were qualified under Part 1 of Art. 353 and Part 4 of Art. 191 of the CCU.
Status: at large.
The plot of the case: in June 2023, the Buchansk district prosecutor's office announced to the deputy of the Gostomel settlement council, Anatoliy Drapey, that he was suspected of embezzling property and usurping power.
Thus, after the death of the head of the Gostomel settlement council, Yury Prylypka, the deputy did not acquire his powers. Drapey misled those around him as to whether he had the necessary orders to manage the property of the territorial community and the budget of the village.
At the 21st session of the VIII convocation of the Gostomel settlement council, Anatoliy Drapey signed a decision according to which 345,000 hryvnias of material aid were unjustifiably paid to 21 citizens.
The official is charged with arbitrarily assigning power (Part 1, Article 353 of the Criminal Code) and misappropriation, embezzlement of property or taking possession of it through abuse of official position (Part 4, Article 191 of the Criminal Code).
According to the mass media, the court has so far chosen a preventive measure "on personal bond" for the suspect himself. At the moment, based on data in open sources, Drapey holds the position of secretary of the Gostomel settlement council.
Persons potentially involved in the corruption scheme: from open sources it is not known about the alleged accomplices.
Wealth: in 2019, Drapey earned 496,628 hryvnias in salary. He kept 110,000 hryvnias and 115,000 dollars in cash, and borrowed 235,000 dollars.
He had two expensive Vincent Benard and Breguet watches, and two Benelli and Blaser rifles.
From real estate in the declaration for 2019, the following were indicated: 4 land plots with a total area of 0.6 hectares and a house of 80.5 square meters in Gorenka.
For 2020, Drapey earned 574,195 UAH, for 2021 - 606,017 UAH, and for the first year of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation - 138,532 UAH.
Persons who should have responded to corruption schemes: in the case of Drapey's case, law enforcement officers responded in time to his criminal activities. However, according to the latest data, he is still at large and continues to work.
Scandals: In 2021, Anatoliy Drapey became the secretary of the Gostomel village council and a member of the council from the "European Solidarity" party, and ran for the post of chairman of the Gostomel OTG. Prior to that, the deputy headed the Gorensk village council of the Kyiv-Svyatoshyn district.
As the media reported, then Drapey and deputies of the village council received plots of land in Gorenka, despite the fact that the participants of the anti-terrorist operation "did not have enough land".
Thus, Drapey owned several plots of land on Sadova, Priozerna and Kiltseva streets with a total area of more than 3 hectares. He received them during his tenure as village head.
