Polish law enforcement officers have started criminal proceedings against the former head of the Khmelnytskyi Medical and Social Expert Commission Tetyana Krupa. She transported millions of hryvnias obtained through corruption schemes to Poland. About this it is said in the court order.
As stated in the document, the deputy district prosecutor of the Warsaw District Prosecutor’s Office sent a request to the General Prosecutor’s Office to transfer the criminal proceedings. After that, proceedings were opened under part. 1 Art. 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (legalization of proceeds obtained through crime), which was combined with the investigation under Art. 368-5 of the Criminal Code (illegal enrichment).
The investigation established that Krupa and her relatives had been exporting cash to Poland for two years. The scheme continued even after she was notified of the suspicion on October 5 last year. From May 29, 2022 to October 17, 2024, large amounts of cash were exported across the Ukrainian-Polish border, credited to bank accounts in Krakow, Wroclaw, Szczecin, and other cities, and then transferred to financial institutions in the United States and Switzerland.
Investigators believe that these funds were obtained illegally. During searches of Krupa’s house in 2024, law enforcement officers found a significant amount of cash and a document confirming the transfer of $590,000 to an account at the Polish Pekao bank.
We will remind that last year the law enforcement officers detained Tetyana Krupa and her son. Almost $6 million in cash was taken from their house. According to the investigation, Krupa probably took bribes for helping the men avoid mobilization.
On March 21, 2025, the court extended her preventive measure in the form of detention with the possibility of bail in the amount of 240 million hryvnias.
