According to investigators, during the investigation of a case of illicit enrichment of a senior official being heard by the HACC, the council member, as a witness, gave false testimony regarding a loan agreement that was supposed to justify the origin of the official's assets, entered a fictitious loan to a third party in his declaration for 2024, and filed a lawsuit in court to recover a non-existent debt. According to sources of “Schemes (RFE/RL)”, the notice of suspicion was served on Sokal City Council member Volodymyr Kovalchuk; his declaration for 2024 lists a loan of USD 800 thousand to Oleksandr Matiienko — the father-in-law of the head of the AMCU (Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine) Pavlo Kyrylenko. The episode amount is the size of the declared loan; the official statement does not give an amount. Kovalchuk considers the suspicion unfounded.
