According to the Office of the Prosecutor General, in 2023–2024 the former chief psychiatrist of the Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out transactions with funds probably obtained illegally, buying real estate and cars that were registered to relatives, family members and other persons. In February 2026 he was served a notice of suspicion under Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine; on 6 August 2026 the Specialised Defence Prosecutor's Office of the OPG sent the indictment to court (investigation — SBU).

According to the SBU and the Office of the Prosecutor General, in 2022–2024, during the full-scale war, the chief psychiatrist of the Armed Forces of Ukraine acquired assets worth over USD 1 million — a private house and two land plots in Obukhiv District of Kyiv Oblast, apartments in Kyiv and Odesa, BMW cars — registered to family members and other persons, and did not reflect them in his declaration. During searches, according to reports, USD 152 thousand and EUR 34 thousand were seized. On 21 January 2025, the official was detained and served a notice of suspicion under Article 368-5 and Article 366-2(2) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine; the court chose a pre-trial restraint measure of detention in custody with the alternative of bail. The investigation is conducted by the SBU under the procedural supervision of the OPG. The defence claims that the money was seized at the residence of relatives and does not belong to him. No data on an indictment specifically under Article 368-5 being sent to court were found in open sources. Guilt has not been established by a court.
