Public calls and personal experience
In October 2026, former First Deputy Prosecutor General Mykola Holomsha once again drew attention to himself with public statements regarding the reform of the prosecution service. He called on state leadership to stop the practice of appointing "insiders."
However, a review of his family's biographical data allows for a different assessment of these calls. Holomsha's relatives hold or have held senior positions in law enforcement agencies and state structures.
Relatives' career trajectories
Mykola Holomsha's son, Andrii, worked as Deputy Prosecutor of Lviv Oblast. His daughter, Maryana Holomsha, held a senior position in the Kyiv prosecutor's office.
The former prosecutor's son-in-law, Artem Oliinyk, headed the sector for the prevention and detection of corruption in the Ministry of Agrarian Policy. Mykola's brother, Yaroslav Holomsha, was the former head of the police in Kyiv Oblast. And Mykola's nephew, Mykola Holomsha Jr., held the position of First Deputy Prosecutor of Ternopil Oblast.
Financial indicators per declaration
The financial aspect of the family's life is also a subject of public interest. According to the 2019 declaration, Mykola Holomsha had personal bank savings amounting to 5,302,443 hryvnias. His wife, Myroslava, declared another 380,610 hryvnias. The total amount of the family's savings exceeded 5.68 million hryvnias.
In addition to cash funds, Holomsha's wife owns an apartment with an area of 268 square metres. This property was declared with an acquisition value of 553,113 hryvnias. Calculations show that at the time of purchase in 2010, the cost per square metre was approximately 2,064 hryvnias.
Necessity of verifying circumstances
The presence of several representatives of the law enforcement system in one family is not in itself a violation of legislation. However, the circumstances under which personnel decisions were made, as well as the origin of funds and the conditions of property acquisition, may require thorough investigation.
Such verification is particularly appropriate, considering that Mykola Holomsha himself publicly calls for a fight against personnel clans.
