The case of NABU. In the declaration for 2016, which was filled out at the end of March 2017, Wolk stated that he owned only one apartment in Kiev. In May 2017, investigators from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau searched the country house of Wolk's ex-wife. And although it was claimed that he was not living with his ex-wife, the judge was at that house on the morning of the search. He only included it in the declaration for 2017, which he filled out at the end of March 2018 on the NAPC website.
NABU detectives investigated information about Wolk's illegal enrichment. After the searches, a Lviv court seized certain assets of the judge: documents, $20,000, valuable coins, and three 50-gram gold bars. But in October 2017, the appeal court overturned the seizure because it should have been issued in Kiev.
On July 17, 2020, NABU reported that searches were conducted at the District Administrative Court and suspicions were brought against the chairman - Wolk, his deputy chairman, and five other judges of the District Administrative Court. On that day, the bureau also published transcripts of the chairman's phone calls, in which a plan to seize state power was discussed. Wolk and the judges of the District Administrative Court are accused of establishing a criminal organization of twelve people aimed at seizing state power by taking control of the High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine (VKKSU), the Supreme Judicial Council (VRP), and creating artificial obstacles in their work. On September 1, NABU released a new batch of recordings.
