Nearly 5 Million Hryvnias Sought from Ex-Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Kuleba.

Lawsuit Filed with the High Anti-Corruption Court

According to Espreso.tv: The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office has initiated legal action in the High Anti-Corruption Court, demanding the recovery of assets worth nearly 5 million UAH for the state treasury. These assets were allegedly acquired by Oleksiy Kuleba through his sister. Kuleba served as First Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration in 2021 and later became Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine in 2023.

Investigation and Kuleba's Response

As part of this case, Kuleba entered into preliminary purchase agreements for an apartment and a parking space in Kyiv. Addressing the investigation, Oleksiy Kuleba stated:

'I respect the procedures and powers established by law and am ready to cooperate with the investigation.' Oleksiy Kuleba

He further emphasized that 'throughout my public career, I have acted transparently and have never concealed my income, property, or any other information subject to declaration.'

This case highlights ongoing concerns about transparency and ethics in public administration, while also demonstrating the active efforts of anti-corruption bodies in tackling corruption in Ukraine.

Proceedings like this underscore the critical need for legality and openness among state officials, especially at a time when society demands tangible progress in fighting corruption.

Continued investigations and similar lawsuits could shape public trust in state institutions and foster greater accountability among officials.
