The Agency conducted full checks of the declarations for 2022 and 2023 and found in the actions of the former Verkhovna Rada commissioner for human rights, who at the end of 2023 was a member of the board of the Pension Fund of Ukraine, signs of illegal enrichment for almost 10 million UAH and signs of unreliable declaration for more than 32, 4 million hryvnias.

According to the results of the verification of the declaration for 2022, signs of unreliable information were found for more than 12.4 million UAH, of which 2.4 million UAH – information about the income, at the expense of which the declarant paid off the loan to the bank, was not reflected, and she indicated 10 million UAH, allegedly borrowed from a third party. In the declaration for 2023, the specified financial obligation increased to UAH 20 million.

In addition, based on the results of a full inspection of the declaration for 2023, the NAZK also established signs of illegal enrichment in connection with the declarant’s acquisition of monetary assets from unconfirmed sources to repay the loan to the bank, the amount of which exceeds her legal income by UAH 9.9 million.

We will remind:

• The Verkhovna Rada dismissed Denisova from the position of ombudsman on May 31, 2022.
• Previously, people’s deputies collected signatures for expressing no confidence in Lyudmila Denisova. This happened amid a scandal when ombudsmen reprimanded her for her posts about sexual crimes committed by the Russian occupiers against Ukrainians during the war. “Sexual crimes during the war are family tragedies, a difficult and traumatic topic, and not a topic for publications in the spirit of a “scandalous chronicle”, – wrote a group of Ukrainian journalists in an open appeal to Denisova.
