The Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi Territorial Center has yet to find a suitable permanent director

Two district territorial centers for recruitment and social support in the Odesa region have been without permanent directors for quite some time.

According to the Center for Public Investigations, this information came to light during a meeting of the temporary investigative commission in the Verkhovna Rada.

According toVolodymyr Chaban, deputy head of the psychological support department for personnel at the Odesa Regional Recruitment and Social Support Center, this concerns the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi and Rozdilna district recruitment and social support centers. According to him, while a head has already been approved for the Rozdilna District TCC—who, was on sick leave due to a temporary deterioration in his health on the day of the investigative commission’s meeting, they have been unable to find a suitable officer to serve asthe permanenthead for Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi. 

As noted in a comment to Intent by the chairman of the temporary investigative commission, People’s Deputy Oleksiy Goncharenko, on the day of the commission’s meeting, most of the heads of Ukrainian TCCs summoned to the meeting were either on sick leave or on vacation and sent temporary acting heads in their place. 

"Many heads took sick leave or went on vacation so they wouldn’t have to go to the TSK. And they sent acting heads," the MP noted.

Serhiy Koraka, the former head of the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi District TCC and SP, came under the scrutiny of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, which, based on materials from the State Bureau of Investigations, filed a lawsuit with the High Anti-Corruption Court seeking to declare his assets, totaling over 1.9 million hryvnias, to be unjustified.

The High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine granted the prosecutor’s petition and ruled that the assets used by the family of the former head of the Odesa Region District Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Supportwere unjustified. The case involved two vehicles: a 2022 Toyota C-HR HYBRID valued at 1,381,600 hryvnias and a 2021 Toyota C-HR valued at 564,800 hryvnias.  Although the cars were purchased by close relatives of the official, he could, directly or indirectly, have taken actions equivalent in substance to exercising the right of disposal. At the same time, neither the official himself nor his relatives had the financial means to acquire these assets.
