Case description

The NABU suspects former Kyiv City Council member Ruslan Kuzmenko of failing to declare assets worth more than UAH 27 million. He has been placed on the wanted list.

Ruslan Kuzmenko is a former chair of the Budget and Finance Committee, former member of the Kyiv Regional Council from the European Solidarity faction. According to the investigation, in his 2020 declaration, he failed to indicate a 430.2-square-meter house and a 1.84-hectare land plot near Kyiv, as well as a Toyota Prado, a DAF truck, and a semi-trailer van belonging to a family member. Furthermore, the declaration did not contain data on income for 2020 and money in bank accounts. The total value of all undeclared assets is estimated at over UAH 27 million.

He is charged under Article 366-2, part 2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. In early 2022, Kuzmenko left Ukraine and never returned. Law enforcement agencies put him on the wanted list and served him with a suspicion notice in absentia.
