Poltava City Council deputy reported on suspicion of false declaration of over 200 million hryvnias
Under the procedural guidance of prosecutors from the Prosecutor General’s Office, a deputy of the Poltava City Council was notified of suspicion of entering knowingly false information into the declarations of a person authorized to perform local government functions (Part 2, Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
According to the investigation, when submitting declarations for 2022–2024, the deputy did not declare virtual assets belonging to him and his close relatives, as well as transactions with them in the amount of more than 200 million hryvnias. In 2025, he submitted revised declarations, partially indicating intangible assets and related transactions, but the information provided also turned out to be unreliable.
The revelation was made by prosecutors of the Prosecutor General’s Office together with investigators of the Main Investigation Department of the National Police of Ukraine and employees of the Security Service of Ukraine in the Poltava region. Currently, a pre-trial investigation is underway, and the issue of choosing a preventive measure for the suspect is being resolved.
Let us recall that according to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime until his guilt is proven in accordance with the law and established by a court verdict.
