Deputy Head of Mykolaiv Regional State Administration bought a car

Mykola Marinov, deputy head of the Mykolaiv regional military administration, purchased a car.

This is stated in the official's updated declaration, according to the Center for Public Investigations.

Thus, Mykola Marinov reported significant changes in his property status. The "expenses" section contains information about the purchase of movable property worth UAH 480 thousand on September 27, 2024. Most likely, it is a car.

Earlier, in his declaration for 2023, Vitalii Kim's deputy indicated that in 2022 he purchased a 2018 Volkswagen Amarok pickup truck, and he also has a 2006 GAZ 3307 truck, a 2021 Palych A02013 trailer. The wife of the Deputy Head of the DEC, Viktoriia, drives a 2016 Volkswagen Passat.

Real estate in the family:

• A residential building of 381.3 square meters, co-owned by the official and his wife.

In early August, the NACP recorded an unreliable declaration of cryptocurrency by Gennadiy Pogorelov, deputy head of the Regional Service Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Mykolaiv region. In particular, in his 2021 declaration, the official declared the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, which was worth UAH 100 million in hryvnia equivalent, but he did not confirm its existence during the full inspection.

In May, criminal proceedings were opened in Mykolaiv region against the mayor of Ochakiv, Serhiy Bychkov, on suspicion of illicit enrichment and filing a false declaration. According to the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption, the mayor of Ochakiv purchased a house abroad and received UAH 12 million as a gift from his mother.

In 2023, Valeriy Bednyi, a deputy of the Mykolaiv Regional Council from the Servant of the People party, became the owner of a luxury car. Such a car model, like that of Bednyi, is subject to transport taxation - the so-called "luxury tax".

In July 2024, MP Iryna Kormyshkina, a member of the Servant of the People party, sold property worth UAH 7.3 million. The day before, her husband, latifundist Yuriy Kormyshkin, resigned as a deputy of the Mykolaiv Regional Council.

The income declarations of the deputy mayor of Mykolaiv, Serhiy Korenev, do not contain any information about his wife's jewelry. However, Yulia Koreneva actively shows off her jewelry on social media.
