The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) recorded false information in the declaration of Bohdan Sahaïdak, head of the South-Western Interregional Directorate of the State Labour Service. The total amount of identified discrepancies is 4.43 million hryvnias.
The majority of the violations concern real estate objects that the official did not list in the document. Specifically, Sahaïdak did not indicate a residential house with an area of 217.3 m², located in the village of Velyki Hai in Ternopil district. This property was used by the official himself, his family member Nataliia Kurylova, and their daughter. Ownership of the house belongs to Bohdan Sahaïdak's mother. An expert assessment determined the minimum value of the object at the time of ownership registration to be 1.65 million hryvnias.
The declaration also lacks data on Nataliia Kurylova's property in the city of Ternopil. The following were not included in the list:
The total value of the unreported real estate objects amounted to 3.78 million hryvnias. Criminal case materials, including correspondence and witnesses, confirm that Sahaïdak was aware of the existence of part of this property.
In addition to real estate, the declaration omits information about a 2016 Chevrolet Spark car worth 184,000 hryvnias, which belonged to Nataliia Kurylova.
Bohdan Sahaïdak declared the possession of cash funds in the amount of 475,000 hryvnias. However, NABU established that this data does not correspond to reality. This conclusion was made based on an analysis of income and expenses, including transfers of funds to a family member and general living expenses.
The following deficiencies were also found in the declaration:
No signs of conflict of interest, illegal enrichment, or unjustified assets were found. However, the presence of false information in the amount of over 4.4 million hryvnias is grounds for qualifying the actions under Part 1 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Previously, officers of the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) uncovered a scheme of extortion in the occupational safety sector, organised by Bohdan Sahaïdak, head of the South-Western Interregional Directorate of the State Labour Service. Directorate officials demanded money for services that are free of charge by law: occupational safety training and the issuance of certificates without actually completing the courses. They also collected fees for the registration of declaration-permits for carrying out high-risk work, although this process should be free and take no more than 5 days.
Specifically designated expert organisations were used to implement the scheme. If an entrepreneur applied to the "wrong" structure, officials artificially delayed the review of documents for months. In contrast, cooperation with the "right" firm guaranteed obtaining a permit within a week.
The investigation also established that the suspects invented inspections that should not have been carried out during martial law. Entrepreneurs were informed that they had been "included in the plan," and then were demanded money for not conducting these fabricated inspections. Thus, another channel for systematic extortion of funds was created.
