NABU and SAPO reported suspicion to People’s Deputy Yevhen Shevchenko in the case of legalization of over 9 million hryvnias
NABU and SAPO have declared the current People’s Deputy of Ukraine Yevhen Shevchenko suspected of laundering over 9 million hryvnias obtained through criminal means. This was reported by the press service of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau.
The bureau did not disclose the name of the parliamentarian, however, according to data of RBC-Ukraine, it is Yevhen Shevchenko.
According to the investigation, the deputy seized funds from a private company, promising assistance in issuing a permit for the cross-border transportation of mineral fertilizers. The money was transferred to the account of a person close to him, but the suspect did not take any actions in favor of the company.
To disguise the illegal origin of the funds, he organized a legalization scheme. First, more than 9 million UAH was transferred to the accounts of a law firm owned by his relative, under the guise of payment for legal services. Later, part of the funds was directed to another account and used to purchase two expensive cars – a BMW X5 M (F95) and a Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG.
Later, Shevchenko began to openly use these cars, creating the appearance that they were purchased with legal income from entrepreneurial activity. His actions are qualified under Part 2 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The pre-trial investigation is ongoing, all circumstances and other persons involved are being established.
Recall that in November 2024, Shevchenko was informed of suspicion of high treason. According to investigators, he systematically carried out informational and subversive activities in favor of the aggressor state: he spread propaganda fakes about events in Ukraine, its foreign policy, and in the fall of 2024, he distributed distorted materials about the command of the Defense Forces and public sentiment.
Later, law enforcement officers documented new crimes by the People’s Deputy, in particular, the fraudulent appropriation of funds from a company engaged in the purchase of mineral fertilizers in Belarus.
In September 2025, the State Bureau of Investigation, together with the Security Service of Ukraine, completed a pre-trial investigation into Shevchenko. He is charged with high treason and fraudulent appropriation of funds from a private enterprise. After the defense was familiarized with the case materials, they were transferred to the court.
