29.10.2024 Declaration Ecology Kharkiv

Business and real estate in France by the head of the Kharkiv Regional Council, Yegorova-Lutsenko. Removal of radioactive waste to a landfill

The National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NAPC) has found that the head of the Kharkiv Regional Council, Tetiana Yegorova-Lutsenko, submitted false information in her 2022 declaration totaling UAH 3.4 million, which exceeds 500 subsistence minimums!

What was Yegorova-Lutsenko hiding?

The NACP’s audit confirmed discrepancies in the declared assets. These are elite real estate in France (Nice), purchased by her husband for UAH 2.7 million on January 1, 2022, and the difference between income and expenses in the amount of UAH 681 thousand.

For these actions, Yegorova-Lutsenko may be held liable under Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – false declaration. But this is just the tip of the iceberg: there are other suspicions against her, including undeclared business in Poland and the purchase of restaurants in France (including Cannes).

For example, according to the NACP’s inspection, it turned out that the Polish register of legal entities contains information about Lutsenko’s husband’s company, L FOREST GROUP. This company was founded by Vitaliy Lutsenko in Gdansk, at the Agata Dambek notary office, and specializes in working with wood. The man’s share in the company is 5,000 zlotys. In addition, the Lutsenko family owns SAS Midi au Solei, registered in France.

Similarly, the presence of housing in Warsaw, where Vitaliy Lutsenko is registered, is hidden and undeclared.

In response to the NACP’s investigation, Yegorova-Lutsenko explained that she did not know about her husband’s real estate. She also said that her husband Vitaliy in 2022 “did not have a permanent (unchangeable) place of residence abroad. This lasted for at least half of the days of the reporting period.” When Yegorova filled out the declaration, her husband did not provide any information, so she simply did not enter it. How simple it is…

It is interesting why the head of the Kharkiv Regional Council does not mention how Vitalii and his wife’s driver crossed the border in October 2022 in a company car Skoda Super B (license plate AH 0044 NE). Moreover, he was a volunteer from the Zachepyliv district public organization “Kolos Football Club”, which is registered in the “Shlyakh” system.

I wonder if the NACP will take action after the official confirmation of the facts of illicit enrichment? Or should we expect searches by the NABU and the SAPO?

What does Yegorova-Lutsenko’s husband Vitaliy do?

In addition to his restaurant business in France, Vitaliy is also politically active. For example, at the end of 2022, his wife included him in the official economic delegation of the Kharkiv region. They traveled together to the French region of Grand Est.

In addition, Vitalii previously served as deputy head of the Main Department of the State Geocadastre in Kharkiv region. At that time, he was also involved in proceedings for false declaration and omission of information about a number of land plots and businesses of family members.

Lutsenko has also been linked to numerous frauds involving the appropriation and use of land plots owned by local authorities.

In addition, with his assistance, industrial waste is systematically brought to one of the landfills in Lozova, Kharkiv region, which is not further processed. And even slag generated during oil and gas production, which is radioactive and requires special storage and disposal conditions.

In this regard, community residents suffer from environmental problems. For example, we receive complaints about water pollution in the region.

Although funds are constantly allocated from the local budget to improve the environment, no real action is taken. The funding received is formally written off for a number of minor works. In reality, however, the funds are distributed among the scheme participants.

It is not surprising that Lutsenko is now involved in the scandal again. We urge you to report any information you know about Lutsenko’s land and environmental fraud.

Who is promoting the interests of Yegorova-Lutsenko?

Do you remember who promoted Tetiana Yegorova-Lutsenko to the Kharkiv regional government? Vadym Slyusarev is a member of the council of the Kharkiv regional organization of the Servant of the People political party. And also, a person who, according to the former head of the SBU in Kharkiv region, has Russian citizenship, which is confirmed by documents obtained by the SBU from the Russian consulate in Kharkiv.

Slyusarev also “accidentally” acquired the legal entity in whose name his real estate in Nice is registered from Russian citizens. By the way, “by coincidence”, it is in Nice that Yegorova-Lutsenko’s husband also lives.

What’s next?

We are going to investigate Yegorova-Lutsenko’s activities and the facts of her illicit enrichment. We are also preparing a response. After all, we assume that on the instructions of the head of the regional council, local deputy Viktor Subbotin filed a lawsuit against the NGO “Non-Stop” for violation of honor, dignity and business reputation. That’s how much officials do not like disclosure of their wealth and facts that later become the subject of interest to law enforcement.

Did you witness a crime?

Let us know about it. We will help protect the violated rights!
