On October 9, the defendant was detained on suspicion of illegal enrichment.
SBI officers found a tidy sum of undeclared funds from an ordinary deputy from the Khmelnytsky region. In addition, they found real estate in her possession, which the defendant also “forgot” to indicate in her declarations.
Lyudmila Trufin spoke about all the details of this forgetfulness in an exclusive review on the YouTube channel TSN.UA.
Employees of the State Bureau of Investigation found more than $1.5 million in cash on the deputy of the Khmelnitsky City Council, which she “forgot” to declare. In addition, she was found to have real estate items, information about which was also not indicated in her declarations.
The information came to light during the investigation of criminal proceedings on transactions at the Khmelnitsky customs in the implementation of agreements by a private company, the director of which is this deputy.
As of October 9, the defendant was detained on suspicion of illegal enrichment. If she is found guilty under this article, she faces imprisonment for up to 10 years with confiscation of all property.
Business on draft dodgers
But during the war, many “earn” and live very well, not only such deputies, but also some doctors.
In particular, the police seized almost 4.5 million hryvnia from a doctor from Zhitomir. A 56-year-old employee of one of the diagnostic centers published fake MRI findings. During searches in her house, 80 thousand dollars, more than 23 thousand euros, as well as digital media with probable evidence of the crime were seized.
According to the investigation, the doctor issued false magnetic resonance imaging reports.
Now, if proven guilty, the doctor faces imprisonment for a term of 8 to 12 years, with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for up to 3 years and with confiscation of property.
It became known that we are talking about a doctor at the Expert medical center. It is noteworthy that the director of the medical institution where the doctor works denied the involvement of his subordinate in this case.
In a comment to Suspilny, the head of the medical institution, Vitaly Smirnov, confirmed the information about the searches, but said that neither the doctor nor the medical institution were involved in illegal actions.
Money in all the cracks
Such stories, unfortunately, are not isolated. As previously reported, recently in the Khmelnytsky region the SBI exposed the head of the regional administration of the pension fund and his mother, also a top official – the head of the local medical and social expert commission. The family was found with almost $6 million in cash alone in various currencies.
During the searches, the official tried to get rid of some of the money by throwing two bags containing half a million dollars through the window. Also, $100,000 was found in her office, as well as a number of false medical documents, lists of draft dodgers with names and fictitious diagnoses. In addition, almost $5 million 244 thousand, €300 thousand, more than 5 million UAH, branded jewelry, etc. were found at the woman’s home. Documents were also seized confirming the illegal activities of officials and their money laundering through various business projects.
Moreover, the family of top officials owns a considerable fortune, luxury real estate and not only in Ukraine, a dozen cars, a restaurant and millions of dollars in foreign accounts.
The “queen” who “can do anything”, who has money in almost every corner of her apartment, turned out to be the head of the Khmelnitsky MSEC Tatyana Krupa. She is also a member of the “Servant of the People” parliamentary faction of the Khmelnitsky Regional Council and the chief physician of the Khmelnitsky Regional Center for Medical and Social Expertise, Honored Doctor of Ukraine.
According to the declaration for 2023, the chief physician received 597,300 hryvnia at her main place of work. Other income includes more than 15 million hryvnia and 70 thousand dollars in cash.
Took into custody
The head of the Khmelnytsky regional center of MSEC Tatyana Krupa was given a preventive measure – detention for 60 days with the possibility of posting bail in the amount of UAH 500 million. The bail is approximately 2 times the amount that was seized from her.
Krupa was informed of suspicion of illegal enrichment. She is accused of organizing false disabilities for draft dodgers.
The State Bureau of Investigation is studying the lists of evaders found with the medic; they must now be found and checked. If the diagnosis is “bought” for the purpose of evading military service, then the men face from 3 to 5 years in prison.
Let us recall that the head of one of the interdistrict medical and social expert commissions (MSEC) of the city of Kharkov, together with 12 accomplices, organized a scheme to evade mobilization. Dealers sold fake disability certificates to draft dodgers.
