NABU completes review of Anatoliy Sadovnyk's declaration

The National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NABU) has completed the review of the declaration submitted in 2021 by Anatoliy Sadovnyk, the general director of the state-owned "Lyustdorf" sanatorium. 

The review revealed significant discrepancies that may lead to legal consequences. The value of the inaccurate data amounted to 2.72 million hryvnia.

Property issues: hidden apartment in Odesa

One of the main violations was the omission of an apartment in Odesa, measuring 57.5 square metres, in which Sadovnyk and his family resided in 2021. The apartment belongs to his brother's wife, although the declarant himself confirmed the fact of residence, citing inheritance rights to the property. According to an assessment by the Kyiv National Forensic Centre, the apartment was valued at 1.64 million hryvnia.

Corporate rights and hidden income

Discrepancies were also identified regarding corporate rights held by Sadovnyk and his wife. The declaration did not list shares in the company "Pangea", which has officially been in a state of cessation since 2009 but has not been liquidated in the register. Furthermore, income from the sale of a share in the Odesa apartment in November 2021, amounting to 1.075 million hryvnia, was concealed. Sadovnyk claimed he was unaware of the transaction, despite his consent to the sale being notarised.

Errors in financial data

Among other violations, the incorrect reporting of an expenditure of 820,000 hryvnia received from the sale of an Infiniti CX 55 vehicle was noted. Instead of classifying this amount as income, it was listed as an expenditure.

Investigation outcome 

The total value of inaccurate data in the declaration amounted to 2.72 million hryvnia, which constitutes grounds for a criminal case under Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (falsification of a declaration). Under the law, this may result in a fine or restriction of liberty for up to two years. However, the review did not find any signs of illicit enrichment or unjustified growth of assets.

The review materials were transferred to law enforcement agencies, and NABU demanded that Anatoliy Sadovnyk correct his declaration.
