SAPO considers the owner's account of a loan of almost UAH 5.5 million to be refuted. On 8 May 2025, SAPO filed a lawsuit with the HACC seeking recovery of part of the asset or its value (more than UAH 9.3 million). On 2 September 2026, the HACC partially granted the lawsuit: it found 53.15% of the apartment unjustified and ordered UAH 4,353,176 to be recovered from the official to the state; the decision may be appealed. The amount entered is the figure from the court decision; Slidstvo.Info estimated the apartment at UAH 17.7 million, SAPO at USD 300 thousand (UAH 8.1 million at the time of acquisition). This is civil forfeiture, not criminal proceedings: Koval has not been served a criminal notice of suspicion, and there is no verdict. The official denied any financial involvement in the purchase of the apartment.","disclosedAt":"2024-09-23","coDefendants":[],"untranslated":[],"courtCaseNumber":null,"statusUpdatedAt":"2026-09-02","criminalArticles":[],"dateIsApproximate":true,"investigatingBody":"Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office","daysWithoutMovement":34}],"fullName":"Коваль Віталій Станіславович","response":null,"birthYear":1981,"deathDate":null,"indexable":true,"updatedAt":"2026-10-03T17:44:42.124713+00:00","revisionId":"01a102de-413a-78e7-b9f6-eb571b78ad6e","connections":[],"citizenships":["UA"],"govPositions":[{"id":"01a0ffd7-8f44-78a0-9da3-ae4e7c7f2d8b","title":"Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine","agency":"Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine","dateTo":null,"region":null,"sources":[{"id":"01a0ffd7-7a3d-7f01-83e2-7f25e94bd4df","url":"https://t.me/sap_gov_ua/4278","type":"official","title":"Over UAH 4 million to state revenue: HACC declares unjustified part of an asset registered to a relative of a former Minister","publisher":"Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office","archiveUrl":null,"archivedAt":null,"publishedAt":"2026-09-02","untranslated":[]},{"id":"01a0ffd7-7a55-799d-9b4d-e6432104b233","url":"https://www.slidstvo.info/news/pislia-rozsliduvannia-slidstva-info-sap-khoche-konfiskuvaty-chastynu-kvartyry-rodychky-ministra-ahropolityky-kovalia/","type":"media","title":"After Slidstvo.Info investigation, SAPO seeks to confiscate part of an apartment of a relative of Agrarian Policy Minister Koval","publisher":"Slidstvo.Info","archiveUrl":null,"archivedAt":null,"publishedAt":"2025-05-08","untranslated":[]}],"dateFrom":"2024-09-05","agencySlug":"kabinet-ministriv-ukrainy-2087","untranslated":[],"appointmentType":"appointed"},{"id":"01a0ffd7-8f18-7d4f-b508-442694f272a9","title":"Head of the Rivne Regional State Administration","agency":"Rivne Regional State Administration","dateTo":null,"region":null,"sources":[{"id":"01a0ffd7-7a55-799d-9b4d-e6432104b233","url":"https://www.slidstvo.info/news/pislia-rozsliduvannia-slidstva-info-sap-khoche-konfiskuvaty-chastynu-kvartyry-rodychky-ministra-ahropolityky-kovalia/","type":"media","title":"After Slidstvo.Info investigation, SAPO seeks to confiscate part of an apartment of a relative of Agrarian Policy Minister Koval","publisher":"Slidstvo.Info","archiveUrl":null,"archivedAt":null,"publishedAt":"2025-05-08","untranslated":[]}],"dateFrom":"2019-09-01","agencySlug":"rivnenska-oblasna-derzhavna-administratsiia-66cc","untranslated":[],"appointmentType":"appointed"}],"nameVariants":["Koval Vitalii Stanislavovych","Віталій Коваль"],"untranslated":[],"fullNameLatin":"Koval Vitalii Stanislavovych","primaryStatus":"trial","officialStatus":"former","currentSituation":"at_large","commercialPositions":[]}
