Former forestry head Kvatyрко has million-level income

Former head of forestry in Volyn and Rivne regions, Oleksandr Kvatyрко, declared substantial income and assets despite being a subject of a criminal case for illegal enrichment.

According to the declaration, the former official received 8.3 million hryvnia in salary from the state enterprise Ліси України (Ukrainian Forests). His wife purchased a new 2024 Volkswagen Touareg for 3.5 million hryvnia. Kvatyрко owns two land plots, while his wife owns an apartment in Lutsk and a country house in the village of Hrazhdzha. In addition, the former official holds 4.8 million hryvnia in cash, while his wife holds 45,000 US dollars.

This news has once again drawn attention to scandals in the forestry sector, as Kvatyрко has previously been involved in investigations into corruption schemes. Furthermore, the activities of the current head of Ліси України (Ukrainian Forests), Yuriy Boholovets, raise questions, as his name has also been repeatedly mentioned in connection with fraud.
