The Center for Public Investigations has learned that the Parashchenko family, father and son, who are members of the Odesa Regional Council, are increasing their wealth from their own agricultural enterprises.

This is stated in the material of the Center for Public Investigations.

According to property reports, Serhii Parashchenko Sr. and Serhii Parashchenko Jr. received UAH 2.2 million from farms in August and June 2024.

In particular, Parashchenko Sr. received seven payments of 111.7 thousand hryvnias each from the private enterprise Agrofirma Tashlyk between August 16 and 23. In June, he received two tranches of 223.4 thousand hryvnias each, which totaled 1.2 million hryvnias.

Serhiy Parashchenko (senior) is a 52-year-old politician who has held positions in the Odesa Regional Council since 2010, first as a representative of the Party of Regions and then from the European Solidarity BPP. From 2019 to 2020, he headed the Odesa Regional Council. Currently, he and his son represent the For the Future party.

His son, Serhiy Parashchenko Jr. received dividends from the Burgudzhi Agrofirm farm in August, as well as seven payments of 111.7 thousand hryvnias, and 223.4 thousand in June. The total amount amounted to UAH 1 million.
