Officials “for pennies” buy cars: journalists found hundreds of such cases

NGL.Media journalists found hundreds of cases of lowering the cost of purchased cars in the declarations of officials, law enforcement officers, mayors and people’s deputies.

About it It is said in journalistic material.

For example, the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Maxim Sokolov, who in October 2022 for only 10 thousand UAH purchased Toyota Highlander Hybrid 2022 – this is about 200 times cheaper than the real value.

Mikhail Sokolov stated NGL.Media that he had purchased a car with “significant damage”, but refused to clarify the nature of these damage.

NGL.Media and Victoria Negoda, Head of Land Resources and Ecology of the Adventure Rural Territorial Community near Kyiv, told about “a little broken” car.

In October 2023, it allegedly purchased the Hyundai Tucson 2022 for UAH 100,000, although in fact the market value of such a car was at least ten times higher.

Instead, the right to use the car is more confusing. During the study of the register of declarations NGL.Media found more than a thousand declarants who simply do not indicate the cost of the car.

According to Alexei Boyko, a lawyer of the Center for Combating Corruption (CPC), in such cases, the declarant has the right not to indicate the value if he does not know it.

However, if the value is specified, the NACC may well ask for confirming documents.

However, some officials indicate in the declarations the cost of cars they use but which they do not officially belong.

For example, the mayor of Ternopil Sergey Nadal in his last declaration indicated that he uses the car Audi Q7 2024. worth 750 thousand UAH, which formally belongs to his test of Bohdan Verbov.

In addition to the fact that he did not specify in the declaration that he actually uses the expensive sports version of the Audi SQ7, the value he specified is reduced by more than five times. According to NGL.Media, this car Bogdan Verbovy purchased a new car dealership in May last year, and recently sold for UAH 4.7 million.

The Verkhovna Rada expatient Irina Kormishkin, who in a fresh declaration indicated that she uses a luxurious sedan Mercedes-Maybach S580 2022, owned by her husband, Yuri Kormishkin.

The cost of this car Kormishkina estimated at 350 thousand UAH, although its official cost starts from 12 million UAH. By the way, the owners of such a car must pay a “luxury tax” in the amount of UAH 25 thousand every year.

An interesting story also came to the head of the Zolochiv district council Orest Kaetsky. In his declaration, he stated that his wife, Christina Kaetska, uses BMW X6 2022, which was registered with her mother Maria Karvatsk. In this case, the cost of BMW X6 indicates only 100 thousand UAH, which is at least 20 times cheaper than the lowest offer on the market.

According to the lawyer of the CPC Alexei Boyko, the low value of the property may be a sign of concealment of his own assets or a hidden bribe.
