What's happening in the Khmelnytskyi region
On October 4, the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) reported that it had exposed the head of the MSEC and her son—the head of the regional pension fund administration—on charges of illegal enrichment. During searches, they found nearly $6 million in cash in various currencies and a number of counterfeit medical documents, as well as lists of draft evaders with names and false diagnoses.
During the searches, MSEC head Tatyana Krupa attempted to dispose of two bags containing $500,000, throwing them out of the window. Tatyana Krupa did not include these funds in her declaration; they have now been seized and transferred to a bank for safekeeping. The prosecutor has also submitted a request to the court for the arrest of the funds.
The investigation is determining the reasons for the acquisition by the woman's relatives of a large number of real estate properties abroad and in Ukraine, an elite car fleet, corporate rights, and accounts abroad totaling nearly $2.3 million. The SBI will also examine the so-called "lists of draft evaders" found with Tatyana Krupa, which included names and diagnoses of individuals.
