The court has transferred funds seized from an official of the State Environmental Inspectorate to the National Agency for Asset Tracing and Management. The sum in question amounts to over 48 million hryvnias.

Following a request from investigators at the State Bureau of Investigations, the court ruled to transfer to the National Agency for Asset Tracing and Management the funds seized during the investigation into the illicit enrichment of the head of one of the departments of the State Environmental Inspectorate of the Dnipro Region.

The sum in question amounts to 880,000 US dollars and 201,500 euros, which, at the current exchange rate, is over 48 million hryvnias. The money was seized during a search of the official’s residence.

In November 2025, officers from the State Bureau of Investigations, in cooperation with the Strategic Investigations Department of the National Police, exposed her for illicit enrichment and served her with a notice of suspicion.

During the investigation, it was established that a private entrepreneur had attempted to help the suspect evade responsibility. He claimed that the seized funds allegedly belonged to him.

The investigation established that this testimony was false. The man was served with a notice of suspicion of misleading the court.

The Office of the Prosecutor General is overseeing the proceedings in the case.
