The Case of Tetiana Krupa
An investigation has concluded that Tetiana Krupa, the former head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Center for Medical and Social Expertise, illicitly enriched herself by 160 million Ukrainian hryvnias between 2020 and 2024. This case highlights ongoing anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine's public sector. Krupa submitted a corrected asset declaration for 2024, which for the first time included significant assets belonging to her husband, Volodymyr.
The amended declaration was filed on February 17, 2026. It detailed her husband's savings and other financial assets. Law enforcement authorities subsequently seized the following:
- US $544,200;
- Two sums of $5,000 each.
The declaration also listed cash holdings of:
- $277,200;
- $320,000;
- $192,000.
Furthermore, a PrivatBank account held by her husband contained 211,500 hryvnias, and an account at Poland's PKO Bank Polski held $2,500.
Assets and Income of the Couple
The couple declared ownership of 68 real estate properties and land plots. Tetiana Krupa's husband possesses two Porsche Cayenne vehicles, one valued at 6.78 million hryvnias. Krupa's declared income for 2024 was 2.02 million hryvnias, while her husband's income was 5.21 million hryvnias. Combined funds in their bank accounts included:
- 3.88 million hryvnias;
- $230,000;
- €52,100;
- 3,400 Polish zloty.
The investigation also led to the seizure of luxury accessories, including Dior earrings worth 700,700 hryvnias and a Rolex watch valued at 405,000 hryvnias. Additional cash discoveries included $93,000 and €2,000. Her husband separately declared cash holdings of:
- $3.17 million;
- €135,200;
- 1.19 million hryvnias.
The pre-trial investigation was initiated by the State Bureau of Investigations (DBR) and transferred to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) in October 2025. Investigators found the illicit enrichment was facilitated by Krupa's husband and son, with funds partly laundered through a sham real estate sale. Money was also moved abroad and deposited into foreign bank accounts. The case against Tetiana Krupa is now complete, with her actions classified under Part 2 of Article 366-2, Article 368-5, and Part 2 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The situation surrounding Tetiana Krupa underscores the critical importance of anti-corruption measures in Ukraine, particularly within state institutions.
The scale of the alleged illicit wealth and the luxurious assets declared by the couple raise serious concerns about ethics and transparency in the management of public resources. Scrutiny of such cases is a vital step toward rebuilding public trust in state institutions and ensuring accountability for officials in positions of authority.
