In Kryvyi Rih, a scandal broke out around the distribution of free vouchers to Hungary for children’s rest in the summer of 2023. Law enforcement officers opened a criminal case on this fact, which was confirmed in response to an official request of journalists.
About it reports the channel.
According to the publication, the actions of deputies show signs of violation of Art. 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – “Service forgery”. Journalists also declared plans to apply for the case. 364 of the Criminal Code – “abuse of power or office”.
It is known that in Kryvyi Rih the distribution of free vouchers to Hungary for children in the summer of 2023 was in the center of the scandal. Officially, a rest was intended for children from families of combatants, dead defenders, large families and IDPs, and in reality, children and deputies from the party “Servant of the People” went to rest in reality.
Mykola Lukashuk, the chairman of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council, reported the rest twice, declaring the support of socially disadvantaged categories. However, the investigation revealed another.
According to the investigation, the lucky list was included:
- The eldest daughter of the deputy chairman of the metallurgical district council Alexander Kucher. According to his declaration, the official income of the family in 2023 amounted to more than 600 thousand UAH.
- Two children of the deputy of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council Tatiana Chabanova. Her family declared more than 1 million UAH of income for 2023 (including the sale of the apartment). In 2024, Ms. Chabanova indicated more than 300 thousand salaries from the party “Servant of the People”.
- Son of the chairman of the Pokrovsky district council Andriy Sokolovsky. In 2023, he earned about one million UAH of salary, purchased Volkswagen Passat and stored thousands of euros and in cash.
- The son of a large entrepreneur Mykola Bokalov. His name also appears in the lists. Bakovlov often wins millions of tenders in the Pokrovsky district, presented by Andrey Sokolovsky, and was a sponsor of the people’s deputy from the “servant of the people” by Vladimir Zakharchenko. The son of Bokavalov allegedly hit the list as a “gifted child”.
- Children of deputies of Pokrovskaya and Dovgintsev district councils Yevgeny Borysyuk and Vladimir Yagupov from the “servant of the people” who could also take this opportunity. Borysyuk, an entrepreneur, in 2023 had one and a half million UAH of income from purchases from the budget.
Journalists say that none of these families fall under the status of low -income or large children (declarations indicate two children), which would be a priority for such permits.
When asked by the journalists about what category their children fall, officials reacted differently: Alexander Kucher threw a hedgehog, and Tatiana Chabanova refused to answer the phone, demanding an official request. Andriy Sokolovsky did not answer calls, though he promised to call back.
The Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council, headed by Mykola Lukashuk, as well as the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Association of Local Self-Government Bodies and Hungarian partners at the invitation of the Ukrainian-Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, was organized by the organization. It is unknown whether the regional council was guided during the formation of lists by the party principle, because the mentioned deputies and officials are related to the “servant of the people”.
