The family of former First Deputy Head of the National Police of Ukraine, General Yevhen Koval, declared nearly UAH 6.9 million in salary income received in 2024 from the Polish grain trader AGROIMEKS Sp. z o.o. Official financial disclosure records have drawn the attention of public analysts and investigative journalists due to a potential conflict of interest, the unclear nature of the payments, and direct links between the foreign entity and the Ukrainian agricultural market.
The Polish company AGROIMEKS Sp. z o.o. is a major player in the European grain trading market, generating an estimated revenue of approximately PLN 561 million in 2024. Ukrainian businesswoman Mariia Sitak serves as the president and co-owner of the Polish trader.
At the same time, Sitak is a co-owner and executive of the Ukrainian corporate group OSSOYO (LLC «OSSOYO» / OSSOYO Ukraine). The Ukrainian entity acts as one of the primary suppliers of agricultural products to Polish-based AGROIMEKS. Consequently, the multi-million payouts to Koval’s family members occurred within a closed financial and logistical loop connecting Ukrainian grain exports with Polish distribution.
«What specific advisory or operational functions in the grain business justified nearly UAH 7 million annually for the Koval family budget?» — this question remains central to ongoing inquiries into the former official’s wealth.
This financial disclosure is the latest addition to a series of media reports concerning the Koval family’s assets. Investigative journalists from Bihus.Info and other anti-corruption outlets previously revealed that the general’s inner circle owns high-value assets difficult to justify through official public service salaries.
Key assets include the Shypit SPA & Resort complex in the Carpathian Mountains, which opened at the end of 2024, as well as a luxury apartment exceeding 200 square meters in Kyiv’s premium residential complex Signature, officially registered under Koval’s retired mother.
In contrast to the substantial financial inflows and multi-million assets registered under his relatives, Yevhen Koval’s personal income declarations consistently report modest figures. This sharp divergence between the law enforcement officer’s official earnings and the multi-million financial operations of his immediate family continues to draw scrutiny from investigative reporters and anti-corruption experts.
