Extension of Procedural Duties for Tetiana Krupa
On June 10, an investigating judge at the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) extended the procedural obligations of Tetiana Krupa, former head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Center for Medical and Social Expertise, until August 10, 2026. The motion was filed by a prosecutor from the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office. Krupa is required to notify authorities of any change in residence and must surrender her foreign travel passport and other documents allowing exit from Ukraine, except for her internal Ukrainian passport. These restrictions will remain in effect through August 10, 2026.
Investigation and Charges
The investigation has concluded, and Krupa is suspected of illegally amassing 160 million Ukrainian hryvnias between 2020 and 2024. With the assistance of her husband and son, she allegedly obtained these funds, part of which were laundered through fictitious real estate sales. The money was transferred abroad and deposited into bank accounts. The suspects face charges under Article 366-2, Part 2; Article 368-5; and Article 209, Part 2 of the Criminal Code. The pre-trial investigation was initiated by the State Bureau of Investigation, and in October of last year, the case was transferred to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine due to jurisdictional changes.
On September 4, the court allowed Krupa to be released from pretrial detention on bail. After her release, she declared a new Porsche vehicle and a significant amount of cash. It is important to note that the suspect must inform the investigator, prosecutor, or court of any change in residence and must hand over her foreign travel passport and any other documents permitting exit from and entry into Ukraine, excluding her Ukrainian citizen passport.
The case of Tetiana Krupa highlights the ongoing fight against corruption in Ukraine, particularly within the medical and social services system. Holding high-level officials accountable and monitoring their financial transactions are crucial for the country's justice system. The continuing investigation and court proceedings could significantly impact public trust in state institutions and anti-corruption bodies.
