4 September 17:04
ANALYSIS FROM 
The former head of the Khmelnytsky State Medical Examination Commission , Tetyana Krupa, was released from custody on bail of UAH 20 million. This is reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" with reference to the decision of the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC).
The court explained that the suspect had been in custody for 11 months, and the maximum period of detention in a pre-trial detention center during a pre-trial investigation is 12 months. After leaving the pre-trial detention center, Krupa will have to wear an electronic bracelet, not leave Khmelnytskyi and surrender her passport.
In addition, the former official has five days to pay the bail, but so far the money has not been paid, Suspilne reports, citing its own sources.
Krupa released on bail: what preceded it
Tetiana Krupa was first mentioned in the media in the fall of 2024. Back then, the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) exposed the head of the Khmelnytsky MSEK and her son Oleksandr, who served as the head of the regional pension fund office, for illegal enrichment.
According to the investigation, Tetyana and Oleksandr Krupa made money from “evaders” and laundered money through various business projects. Moreover, almost all the prosecutors of Khmelnytskyi region turned out to be group 2 disabled according to the decision of the chief doctor of the MSEC, Tetiana Krupa. For many years, they received disability pensions from the state – according to the decisions of the head of the Pension Fund Oleksandr Krupa.
What was found at the home of Tetiana Krupa’s family
In total, about $6 million in different currencies were found at the officials’ home. During the searches, the woman tried to throw two bags with half a million dollars out the window.
In addition to millions of dollars in cash, law enforcement officers found Rolex and Dior joaillerie watches. According to an expert opinion, the watches are worth UAH 1.28 million (market value at the time of the searches on October 3, 24), and the earrings are worth UAH 700.7 thousand. Moreover, the official did not indicate these jewelry in her tax return.
Despite this, Tetiana Krupa’s e-declaration contains a number of real estate properties and substantial cash savings. In 2023, the chief physician of Khmelnytskyi Oblast received UAH 597,300 at her main job. She earned another 64 thousand in the regional council.
Tetiana Krupa’s other income includes more than a million hryvnias. In addition, she declared more than 15 million hryvnias and 70 thousand dollars in cash. Her husband has more than $100 thousand in savings. However, these amounts do not match what law enforcement officers found in their home.
The investigation also found that Krupa transferred $590 thousand to an account at the Polish bank Pekao, but did not reflect this in her declaration. In addition, her husband Volodymyr Krupa kept 11.3 thousand euros and $1.2 million in Polish banks, which he also failed to report to the tax authorities.
Also, as of the second half of October 2024, investigators were unable to identify the owner of the $93 thousand and 2 thousand euros found in Krupa’s office and the receipt for the sale of real estate worth $430 thousand.
However, in early November 2024, the Anti-Corruption Court seized cash and property in Tetiana’s case.
In addition, in the spring of 2025, the investigation found undeclared crypto assets in Krupa’s possession.
And in May 2025, it became known that the former head of the Khmelnytsky MSEC and her husband Volodymyr owned five land plots in Khmelnytsky region.
According to the investigation, after registering the ownership of these plots, they entered into contracts for the sale and purchase of electricity at a “green” tariff with Khmelnytskenergozbut LLC. At the same time, according to law enforcement officers, Krupa’s solar power plants were set up on the territory of fictitious separate farms, without separate residential buildings on them. This is a violation of the law. Currently, they are conducting examinations to determine whether these plots can be considered households.
Their son, the former head of the regional department of the Pension Fund, Oleksandr Krupa, is also involved in the case of feed-in tariff fraud. It is estimated that the losses of the state-owned enterprise Guaranteed Buyer, which paid the Krups at the feed-in tariff, amounted to UAH 6.37 million.
Successful businessmen with disabilities: what is known about Tetiana Krupa’s family
In the fall of 2025, law enforcement officers discovered that the entire Krupa family had registered a disability. This allowed the official’s son and husband not only to avoid mobilization, but also to travel abroad without hindrance. Moreover, investigators found Krupa’s accounts in Austrian banks and a temporary residence permit valid until June 2024.
In his turn, Oleksandr Krupa tried to explain the reason for his disability and stated the following:
“Personally, I have health problems. In 2005, I was injured at work while studying the materials of a criminal proceeding. I received a group in 2017 long before my appointment. The disease does not interfere with the performance of official duties.
In addition, it was found out that for the last 8 years Tetiana, Volodymyr and Oleksandr Krupa have been the owners of Solar-Invest, a company specializing in alternative energy.
In 2023, Oleksandr Krupa’s wife Kateryna (also a former official), together with her husband and Khmelnytskyi entrepreneur Andrii Kryminskyi, became the founder of the Polish company Novis Food, registered in Wroclaw.
Yevhen Troianovskyi and Serhii Bomok are the Krupivs’ nephews. The latter used to work with his aunt at the regional MSEC. He is now the deputy director of the Khmelnytsky Regional Cardiovascular Center for Economic Affairs. He also owned real estate with the Krup family, and his brother Andriy Bomok is a longtime business partner of Kateryna and Oleksandr Krup.
It is worth noting that Tetiana Krupa is also a member of the Khmelnytskyi regional council from the Servant of the People party. In 2015, she ran as a candidate of the BPP, but did not win. However, on October 8, 2024, the party announced that it would exclude the scandalous Krupa from the Khmelnytsky Regional Council as part of the mandate.

What preventive measures did the court choose for the former head of the Khmelnytsky MSEC?
on October 5, 2024, the State Bureau of Investigation detained Tetiana Krupa. The woman was notified of suspicion of illicit enrichment.
on October 7, the Pechersk Court of Kyiv imposed a pre-trial restraint on the suspect – detention until December 3, 2024. At the same time, she was given the opportunity to be released on bail in the amount of over UAH 500 million.
Anzhelika Moiseeva, Tatiana Krupa’s lawyer, disagreed with this and said the following on camera:
“The decision to impose a preventive measure in the form of detention with an alternative of bail in the amount of UAH 500 million on Tetiana Krupa is illegal, unreasonable and disproportionate. The bail amount of UAH 500 million is unprecedented and exceeds any reasonable limits. This decision violates the principles of proportionality and fairness enshrined in national legislation and international legal acts.
on November 21, 2024, the court changed the amount of bail for Krupa from UAH 500 million to UAH 300 million. The suspect burst into tears during the hearing. She asked for a non-custodial measure of restraint or a significant reduction in bail. She said that even UAH 5 million was too much for her to pay now that all her funds had been seized.
At the end of November, the court extended the arrest of Tetiana Krupa, head of the Khmelnytsky MSEC, until January 26. At the same time, her bail was reduced by another UAH 20 million to UAH 280 million. The official’s son, Oleksandr Krupa, who is also involved in the case, deposited UAH 3 million of his own money to the HACCU account. But this is almost 100 times less than the bail amount for his mother.
on January 24, 2025, the court extended the measure of restraint for Tetiana Krupa. The reason was a cell phone that was found in the former official’s cell in the pre-trial detention center. This is a violation of the prisoner detention regime. Also, according to the court, such an act of the woman confirmed the investigation’s belief that Krupa would obstruct the investigation in her own case if she was free. However, this did not prevent the court from “dumping” another UAH 20 million in bail.
At the end of March, the HACC reduced Tetiana Krupa’s bail by another UAH 100 million. At the same time, it became known that the suspect had again violated the regime of staying in the pre-trial detention center. Three cell phones were found in her possession. One of them belonged to Krupa herself, and the other two belonged to a cellmate of the former head of the MSEC.
Tetiana Krupa confirmed the fact that her cell phone was seized. However, she emphasized that she needed the phone allegedly to communicate with her husband and son and to receive emergency medical care.
In May 2025, Tatiana Krupa even rented an apartment near the NABU in Kyiv in order to get out of custody. Her lawyers requested that the measure of restraint be changed to round-the-clock house arrest. However, the court refused, pointing to the risks of escape, pressure on witnesses, and repeated offenses.
Judge Dmytro Mykhailenko recognized that due to the public outcry, a change in the measure of restraint was not appropriate at this time.
In August, the HACC again remanded Krupa in custody until September 7 with an alternative bail of UAH 56 million.
