New details in the case of Tatyana Krupa: millions in Poland and Austria

The case of Tatyana Krupa, former head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional State Tax Administration, who is suspected of illegal enrichment, has received new significant facts. As part of the investigation, Polish authorities transferred materials concerning Krupa, her husband Vladimir, and her daughter-in-law Kateryna to the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine. According to the information, Polish investigators established that between 29 May 2022 and 17 October 2024, these individuals brought significant sums of money obtained illegally across the Ukrainian-Polish border.

Financial transfers via Europe and Switzerland

As reported by the investigation, the funds brought into Poland were subsequently transferred to bank accounts in cities such as Krakow, Wroclaw, and Szczecin. The money then reached banking institutions located in Switzerland and the USA. Specifically, this refers to funds that Tatyana, Vladimir, and Kateryna Krupa transferred to accounts at well-known European banks, including Bank Pekao S.A., BNP Paribas Bank Polska S.A., PKO Bank Polski S.A., and the Austrian Erste Bank Oberbank.

Opening of a new criminal case and international cooperation

In February 2025, a new criminal case was opened during the investigation regarding the laundering of funds obtained through criminal activity, in accordance with Part 1 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Simultaneously, work began on translating the case materials from Polish to Ukrainian. In March, the episode involving money laundering was merged into the case in which Tatyana Krupa was charged with illegal enrichment.

Hidden money and attempts to move funds

As early as February 2025, the prosecutor informed the court that during the war, Krupa’s relatives and she herself were taking undeclared money abroad. Thus, in October 2022, Tatyana Krupa did not declare $600,000 in cash when leaving Ukraine. However, already on Polish territory, she informed local customs officers of the presence of this amount. Later, these funds were transferred to an account at one of the Polish banks.

The investigation also revealed that the money was withdrawn from a Polish bank to a Swiss one before the funds could be frozen. The prosecutor clarified that in November 2024, the financial intelligence service reported the withdrawal of funds, and on 22 November, a request was sent to the Federal Department of Justice of Switzerland asking to block the account. However, it turned out that the account in Switzerland did not exist, and the money had been withdrawn after Krupa became a suspect.

Threats of account freezing and fund withdrawal by relatives

Furthermore, according to investigation data, other relatives of Tatyana Krupa also attempted to withdraw funds from foreign banks. Her husband Vladimir held $1.2 million in an account at a Polish bank, while her son and daughter-in-law, as well as the husband himself, kept over $1 million in Austrian banks.

These data indicate the scale of financial operations associated with the illegal enrichment of the Krupa family.
