Position: Former Head of the Sambir District Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Center (TRC).
Area of Corrupt Activity: National Security and Defense.
Region of Corrupt Activity: Lviv Region.
Legal Qualification: The actions were qualified under Part 1 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Status: Currently unknown.
Case Details: In early September 2026, former Head of the Sambir District TRC Bohdan Semenyna was found to have concealed assets worth more than UAH 4.5 million. He was formally notified of suspicion of filing an inaccurate asset declaration.
According to the Territorial Department of the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) and the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office in the Field of Defense of the Western Region, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) conducted a full audit of the declaration filed by the 45-year-old former head of the district TRC. Following the audit, he was notified of suspicion of deliberately concealing assets worth more than UAH 4.5 million.
“In his 2024 declaration, while still in office, the colonel failed to disclose an apartment in a newly built residential complex in Lviv worth more than UAH 1.8 million. The property rights to the apartment had been registered in his wife’s name. Despite this, the official did not declare the property rights to the apartment and stated that neither he nor his family members owned any unfinished construction projects,” the SBI reported.
In addition, the couple’s declared cash savings substantially exceeded the amounts they could have accumulated from verified sources of income.
The former official declared more than UAH 2.5 million in cash savings of his own. However, based on verified sources of income, he could have accumulated no more than UAH 684,000. The discrepancy exceeded UAH 1.8 million.
Another USD 40,000 and UAH 376,000 were declared as his wife’s cash savings. However, her income would have allowed her to accumulate no more than UAH 1.2 million. The discrepancy amounted to UAH 840,600.
According to the investigation, the total value of inaccurate information in the declaration exceeded UAH 4.5 million. The former official is charged with knowingly entering false information into an asset declaration by a person subject to declaration requirements (Part 1 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). According to media reports, the suspect was Bohdan Semenyna, former Head of the Sambir District TRC.
In late September 2026, SBI investigators completed their investigation into Bohdan Semenyna, the former head of one of the district Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Centers in Lviv Region. The indictment was submitted to court.
According to the SBI, the official entered knowingly false information worth more than UAH 4.5 million in his 2024 declaration. The violations were identified by the NACP during a full audit of the declaration initiated by the SBI.
In particular, Semenyna failed to declare his wife’s property rights to an apartment in a newly built residential complex in Lviv worth more than UAH 1.8 million. He also substantially overstated the amount of his own and his wife’s cash savings.
Individuals Potentially Involved in Corruption Schemes: Open sources provide no information about possible accomplices.
Assets: In September 2026, Bohdan Semenyna filed an amended 2024 declaration, stating that he owned land plots in Pustomyty, in the village of Honiatychi in the Mykolaiv territorial community, in the village of Nestanychi in the Radekhiv territorial community, as well as a plot of land in Crimea. Since 2023, his family has owned an apartment in Lviv with an area of almost 84 square meters. His wife is also listed as the owner of an unfinished construction project—an apartment in Lviv with an area of almost 41 square meters.
His wife owns a 2023 Toyota Yaris, while Bohdan Semenyna himself drives a 2022 Hyundai Tucson.
In 2024, Bohdan Semenyna declared a salary of UAH 543,000 from his military service, as well as more than UAH 500,000 in his wife’s business income and her salary of UAH 262,000 from the ARX insurance company.
Bohdan Semenyna held UAH 724,000 in cash, while his wife held UAH 376,000 and USD 40,000 in cash.
Authorities Responsible for Responding: Law enforcement agencies responded to the alleged criminal activity involving Semenyna in a timely manner by formally notifying him of suspicion.
Scandals: This is not the first criminal proceeding involving the former official. The SBI previously submitted an indictment against Semenyna to court under Part 1 of Article 362 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine for the unauthorized alteration of information in automated systems by a person authorized to access them.
According to the investigation, in April 2025, he unlawfully entered information into official databases stating that a draft-age man was allegedly performing military service. In fact, the man remained at home and may have been evading mobilization measures.
The court is to make the final determination regarding the former official’s actions.
