In November 2025, following a comprehensive review oftheofficial’sdeclarationsfor 2022 and 2023, the National Agency for Corruption Prevention reported that for two consecutive years, she had failed to list 38 land plots belonging to her minor son in her electronic declarations. 

The official was required to list most of these plots—37 of them—in her 2022 declaration, as her son became the owner of these land plots that year. Marina Zinchenko herself explained that she hadinadvertentlyomitted these plots because her son has been livingabroadsince 2017. The official also noted that she had informed the National Agency for Corruption Prevention (NAZK) of her error when submitting her 2023 declaration. The NAZK confirmed receiving this notification but noted that shehad not providedinformation about the plots or the documents necessary to verify the land data.
