Property worth UAH 26 million: former head of the Cassation Economic Court reported on suspicion of asset laundering

NABU and SAPO have reported suspicions to the former head of the Cassation Economic Court of the Supreme Court. He is charged with legalization of property obtained by criminal means on a particularly large scale. The total value of the assets in question in the case is about UAH 26 million.

Two more people were also reported suspicious – a former subordinate judge and her mother.

House, apartments and land plots

According to the investigation, during 2021–2022, the former head of the court acquired assets with a total value of about UAH 26 million.

Among the assets listed in the case:

a house with a land plot;

two apartments;

four land plots.

NABU claims that in order to conceal the allegedly illegal origin of the funds and the true owner of the assets, the suspect involved his subordinate in the scheme, who actually performed the duties of his secretary.

Property was allegedly registered in the name of the subordinate’s mother

According to the investigation, the assets were officially registered in the name of the subordinate judge’s mother. The NABU believes that in this way they could hide the actual owner of the property and its origin.

The former head of the Cassation Economic Court and the mother of his former subordinate are charged with Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – legalization of property obtained by criminal means.

The actions of the former subordinate were qualified under Part 5 of Article 27 and Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

NABU and SAPO reported the suspicions on September 23, 2026.

At the same time, reporting suspicion does not mean proving guilt. According to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent until his guilt is proven in accordance with the law and established by a court verdict.
