Civil forfeiture of unjustified assets: a penthouse in the “Zarichnyi” residential complex and parking spaces registered to the mother-in-law (over UAH 8.3 million)

In September 2024 journalists of Schemes (RFE/RL) reported that a Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kyiv had lived with his family since March 2022 in a 220 sq m two-level apartment in the Zarichnyi residential complex, owned by his mother-in-law, who had officially declared UAH 100 of income since 1998. After the publication the apartment was sold. Based on materials of the NACP lifestyle monitoring, a SAPO prosecutor filed a lawsuit to recognise the assets as unjustified (according to Schemes, worth almost UAH 8.7 million). On 19.11.2025 the HACC partially granted the claim; on 30.04.2026 the Appeals Chamber of the HACC, having changed the valuation of the apartment (over UAH 3.3 million), recovered to the state the value of the apartment, the proceeds from its sale (almost UAH 5 million) and two parking spaces; according to Schemes, over UAH 8.3 million in total; the decision entered into force. This is civil forfeiture (Article 290 of the Civil Procedure Code), not a criminal verdict; the status “journalistic” is provisional — there is no separate status for civil forfeiture. Poliienko did not comment on the decision.
