SAPO and NABU have completed the investigation into the former head of the State Property Fund: it concerns the legalization of property worth over UAH 300 million.

The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine have completed a pre-trial investigation into the case of legalization of property obtained by criminal means against the former head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine Dmytro Sennychenko and three other individuals.

This was reported by the SAPO and NABU.

What the suspects are suspected of

According to the investigation, the suspects legalized funds received as a result of the activities of a criminal organization by creating companies abroad, in which they registered valuable assets.

Among such property:

land plots in Croatia;

expensive cars;

apartments in several residential complexes in the United Arab Emirates.

According to law enforcement officers, the total value of the legalized property exceeds 300 million hryvnias.

How the investigation progressed

The suspects were informed of the suspicion in February 2026.

The participants in the scheme were identified within the framework of a joint international investigative group with the participation of law enforcement agencies of Austria, Croatia and France.

After the completion of the pre-trial investigation, the case materials were opened for review by the defense.

Other episodes of the case

The NABU recalled that back in March 2023, law enforcement officers exposed the activities of a criminal organization, which, according to the investigation, was headed by Dmytro Sennychenko.

The investigation concerns two state-owned enterprises:

JSC “Odessa Port Plant”;
JSC “United Mining and Chemical Company”.

According to the investigation, controlled persons were appointed as managers of these enterprises, who concluded contracts with predetermined companies and sold products at understated prices. The difference in cost, according to law enforcement officers, was deducted in favor of the participants in the scheme.

According to the investigation, these episodes alone caused the state losses of over 700 million hryvnias.

In addition, the members of the criminal organization are suspected of legalizing property obtained through criminal means in the amount of over 10 billion hryvnias.

Currently, 15 suspects are involved in the criminal proceedings.
