Former Head of Migration Service in Khmelnytskyi to Face Trial for Concealing Assets Exceeding 30 Million UAH

In a significant development, the State Bureau of Investigations (DBR), in close cooperation with the National Agency for Corruption Prevention (NACP), has concluded a pre-trial investigation against a former head of the State Migration Service of Ukraine in the Khmelnytskyi region. This official is under suspicion for concealing substantial assets, the total value of which exceeds 30 million hryvnias.

According to information provided by the DBR, the official deliberately failed to include in his 2023 declaration property that was registered in his wife's name and acquired during their marriage. This omission pertains to both real estate and movable property, raising serious questions about the transparency of his financial affairs.

Among the undeclared real estate is a luxury furniture store valued at 24 million 791 thousand 606 hryvnias. Additionally, he did not disclose three AUDI brand vehicles in his declaration, including an AUDI Q8 valued at 2 million 647 thousand hryvnias, an AUDI Q5 worth 2 million 427 thousand hryvnias, and another AUDI Q5 valued at 504 thousand hryvnias.

As a result, the total amount of false information in the former head's declaration, according to the DBR, exceeds 30 million hryvnias. This situation has sparked considerable public outcry, as issues of corruption and transparency within government bodies remain extremely relevant.

It is noteworthy that in November 2025, following the revelations by DBR employees, the former head resigned from his position. This indicates that instances of corruption and dishonesty within government structures do not go unnoticed, and relevant authorities continue to actively work on uncovering them.

Currently, the indictment against the former head of the State Migration Service has already been submitted to the court. The ex-official is charged under Part 2 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which stipulates liability for declaring knowingly false information.

The Office of the Prosecutor General is overseeing the proceedings in this case, underscoring the seriousness of the situation and the importance of ensuring legality in the activities of public servants. The public eagerly awaits the results of the trial and the potential consequences for the former head, as such cases should serve as a lesson for other government officials.
