Deputy Prosecutor of Odesa Region Fails to Declare 52 Million

Maxim Rakovich, Deputy Prosecutor of Odesa Region, has become the centre of a scandal after it was established that he had illegally enriched himself by 52 million hryvnia.

During the investigation, it emerged that Rakovich had failed to declare a number of assets in his declaration, including a house in the settlement of Sanzhivka, two apartments in Odesa, and cash gifts from his parents totalling 1.3 million hryvnia. Moreover, he had officially divorced his wife to conceal her assets from declaration.

For the fact of illegal enrichment, Rakovich faces a potential prison sentence of five to 10 years, while submitting a false declaration may result in a fine.
