Dmytro Falco, secretary of the Mykolaiv City Council, received a gift of 1,293,000 hryvnias from his father.
This was reported by the Center for Public Investigations, citing a declaration of significant changes in financial status published by the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption.

While he reported 2.29 million hryvnias in income in 2024, that figure rose to 7 million in 2025. However, the breakdown of this income showed that the main source of the increase was not his salary or business activities, but gifts.
