The son-in-law of the former deputy chairman of the State Tax Service (STS) of Ukraine Natalia Ruban Serhiy Nedilko was found to have more than UAH 18 million in cash. NABU and SAPO believe that these funds and other property were obtained as a result of the illegal actions of Ruban herself.
This was announced in the Telegram channel NABU Daily journalist Oleg Novikov.
According to investigators, the ex-deputy head of the tax service contributed to the failure to conduct inspections at Kiev developers and tax evasion.
During the investigation, the detectives found that in 2019-2020, Nedilko purchased parking spaces and one bike space from Dekoplus LLC in the French Boulevard 2 residential complex for UAH 6.7 million, which he sold a few days later at a price close to the market price – UAH 31.6 million The sales department of the residential complex “French Boulevard 2” “Bud Capital” allegedly contributed to this.
NABU detectives searched the bank vault used by son-in-law Ruban and found there:
-
over 535 thousand dollars;
-
95 thousand euros;
-
85 grams of items that look like gold bars;
-
two stones that look like diamonds and eight coins that look like gold.
According to the investigation, Nedilko did not have such income before. In addition, in 2021, he acquired non-residential premises worth UAH 5.5 million, and his wife (the daughter of an ex-official of the State Tax Service) acquired property rights in the Signature Residence residential complex in the amount of over UAH 17 million.
However, the investigating judge of the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court Oleg Tkachenko refused to seize the property of his son-in-law Ruban. In his opinion, the seized money, gold ingots, coins and stones do not contain traces of a crime and there is no evidence of their illegal origin.
The SAPO is currently challenging this decision in the Appeals Chamber of the VACS.
