The Solomianskyi District Court of Kyiv has found Lieutenant Colonel Oleksandr Minchenko, head of the auto transport department at the National Academy of Internal Affairs (NAIA), guilty of submitting false information in his 2022 asset declaration. Despite confirming the administrative violation, the court closed the proceedings due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
The violation was identified by the Internal Security Department of the National Police of Ukraine in November 2025. Originally, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) identified discrepancies in the official’s declaration totaling 1.4 million UAH. Unreported assets included 241,000 UAH across bank accounts, 6,000 UAH in union payments, and significant inflation of cash reserves.
During the court hearing, Minchenko attributed a recorded 7.5 million UAH instead of 750,000 UAH to a technical typo («an extra zero»). He further argued that his undisclosed bank balances were included in his declared cash totals.
After an NACP representative acknowledged that 850,000 UAH from a 2021 vehicle sale had been omitted from the initial calculations, the court adjusted the numbers. The final sum of false declaration entries was set at 554,000 UAH. Judge Serhiy Ahafonov rejected defense arguments regarding technical typos, ruling that Minchenko’s actions constituted a deliberate submission of inaccurate data under Part 4 of Article 172-6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
«The submitted information cannot be considered merely technical errors — it was the result of a deliberate representation of inaccurate data,» the court concluded.
The administrative offense occurred on January 10, 2024 (the submission date) and was detected on November 5, 2025. By the time of the hearing in April 2026, more than six months had passed since detection and over two years since the date of commission. Due to the expiration of statutory time limits for imposing administrative penalties, the proceedings against the police official were closed without fine enforcement.
