The National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) faces growing pressure to conduct a formal review of the official’s assets. Analysts have focused on declarations submitted by his son-in-law, Leonid Khomenko—an unemployed deputy of the Hirska Village Council in the Kyiv region—whose cash holdings and vehicle fleet grew significantly despite minimal official income.
An analysis of Leonid Khomenko’s financial disclosures for 2020 reveals no declared income, monetary assets, or vehicles in his initial and corrected filings. However, later that same day, a notice of significant property changes introduced a luxury Mercedes G63 (2014) valued at 1.7 million UAH, with an acquisition date of December 2020. Official funding sources for this purchase were not reflected in the documentation for that period.
In subsequent years, the son-in-law’s declared assets expanded rapidly:
2021: Khomenko reported 2.82 million UAH in cash, 197 UAH in bank accounts, 46,000 UAH in salary from Itera Farm LLC, and over 2 million UAH from property sales. He also listed 2 million UAH designated as «income from the sale of real estate executed in 2020,» requiring verification against prior reporting periods.
2022: Cash reserves grew to 3.7 million UAH. Reported income included 980,000 UAH from property disposed of to Mariia Khomenko and 322,000 UAH categorized under warranty replacements or product returns, which lacks supporting receipts to confirm actual monetary income.
2023: Cash holdings reached 5.35 million UAH. During the year, Khomenko reported 1.85 million UAH from vehicle sales, while his wife Angelina (Serhiy Chyz’s daughter) declared 81,000 UAH in salary.
Additionally, records show a 25% corporate stake in Fizzy UA LLC (nominal value of 12,250 UAH), establishing historical corporate ties without accounting for ongoing family expenditure coverage.
Further scrutiny centres on the acquisition of a Range Rover Evoque (2021) valued at 700,000 UAH, registered under Angelina Chyz in February 2023. The vehicle appears both in Serhiy Chyz’s exit declaration and in his son-in-law’s 2023 annual disclosure.
«Cross-referencing Serhiy Chyz’s disclosures against his remaining balances indicates that purchasing the Range Rover Evoque for 700,000 UAH leaves an unverified deficit of 335,000 UAH relative to reported expenses. Concurrently, his son-in-law’s isolated balance leaves only 280,000 UAH available for acquisitions and living costs.»
An additional transaction dated March 14, 2023, involving movable property worth 149,000 UAH, requires further cross-checking against the family’s vehicle transactions.
To establish the origin of the official’s family assets, regulatory bodies must determine:
The exact financing sources and money flow for the Range Rover Evoque acquisition.
The personal savings of Angelina Chyz at the time of forming a joint household.
The precise nature of the 149,000 UAH transaction and whether the 322,000 UAH item was received in cash or in kind.
These documented irregularities provide clear grounds for a lifestyle monitoring procedure to verify potential undisclosed enrichment.
