The Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv has found Iryna Shtohrina, an official at the Deposit Guarantee Fund (DGF), guilty of a corruption-related administrative offense. As the head of the interim administration implementation division, Shtohrina knowingly entered false information totaling 1.15 million UAH into her 2025 annual asset declaration. The court ordered her to pay a fine of 17,000 UAH.
During the investigation, Judge Olena Khardina established that Shtohrina failed to disclose her husband’s property rights to an apartment in the section dedicated to unfinished construction projects. These rights initially belonged to their son under a 2021 purchase agreement valued at 1.14 million UAH. In November 2024, the son assigned these rights to his father. Notably, Shtohrina herself acted as her son’s power of attorney during the transfer, proving she was fully aware of the transaction.
Additionally, the official omitted several other financial details from her tax return:
Her husband’s remaining financial liability to their son for the apartment rights, amounting to 540,000 UAH;
An additional benefit of 7,000 UAH received from the DGF employee trade union;
A state cash grant of 2,000 UAH under the «Winter Support» program.
The defense argued that DGF officials are not legally subject to mandatory asset declarations. They further cited technical glitches on the NAPC website, lack of criminal intent, and procedural irregularities during the drafting of the official protocol.
«Heads of structural divisions of the Deposit Guarantee Fund are subjects of declaration in accordance with the Law of Ukraine ‘On Prevention of Corruption,'» stated the NAPC guidelines upheld by the court.
The court rejected all defense arguments, confirming both intentional non-disclosure and the legal validity of the protocol.
Shtohrina was found guilty under Part 4 of Article 172-6 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses. She was sentenced to pay a fine of 17,000 UAH alongside a court fee of 665 UAH. The Court of Appeal has already reviewed the defense’s appeal and dismissed it, keeping the lower court’s ruling fully in effect.
