An official of a state institution with a special status was served with a notice of suspicion of illicit enrichment of UAH 56.2 million and declaring false information. This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" with reference to the press service of the NABU and the SAPO.
The case file makes it clear that the case is about the head of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine, Pavlo Kyrylenko, who was previously the head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration.
According to the investigation, in 2020-2023, the suspect, while holding the position of the head of the regional state administration, acquired 21 properties and a luxury car, registering the property in the names of his wife’s relatives.
These are:
- 7 apartments in Kyiv and Uzhhorod with a total area of 688.5 sq. m;
- a house near Kyiv with an area of more than 220 sq. m;
- 2 garage boxes;
- 6 car parking spaces;
- 3 non-residential premises with a total area of over 190 sq m;
- a BMW X3 car.
At the same time, the difference between the value of this property and the available funds (income, savings) of the official and his wife was UAH 56.2 million.
In addition, the suspect did not indicate the acquired property in the declarations of a person authorised to perform state functions for 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
The investigation was launched by detectives and prosecutors after a journalistic investigation by Radio Liberty was published.
In March of this year , Skhemy reported that Pavlo Kyrylenko, the head of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine, who previously headed the regional military administration of Donetsk Oblast, and his family had purchased real estate worth UAH 70 million.
A few days later, the SAPO and NABU began to investigate how the official had acquired these assets.
Pavlo Kyrylenko was appointed by the Verkhovna Rada as the head of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) in September last year.
