MP's illicit enrichment by UAH 20 million: new suspect
NABU and SAPO have charged the husband of an MP with laundering assets, illegally acquired by his wife, and failing to declare those assets.
According to the investigation, in 2021-2022, the lawmaker got possession of more than UAH 20 million, an amount significantly exceeding her legitimate income. She subsequently lent the money to her husband, who used it to buy a house in the Odesa region, where the couple currently resides.
Furthermore, neither the MP nor her husband show the property, the house and two land plots, in their 2023 declarations, despite these assets being in their possession.
The MP is suspected under Part 1 of Art. 368-5 and Part 2 of Art. 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The actions of her husband fall under Part 2 of Art. 209 and Part 2 of Art. 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
According to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is considered not-guilty in the commission of a crime and cannot be subject to criminal punishment until he or she is found guilty by court.
