"On February 24, 2025, a panel of judges of the HACC satisfied the civil lawsuit of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office against the head of the Department for Arms Control of the National Police in Kyiv and his wife regarding the recognition of assets as unjustified and their confiscation in favor of the state. The court recognized the assets belonging to the official’s wife as unjustified and confiscated them in favor of the state, namely an apartment in Kyiv with a total area of 94.8 square meters and a 2016 Volkswagen Touareg car," the HACC decision states.
The SAPO prosecutor filed a lawsuit against Nerukh, requesting the confiscation of a 2016 Volkswagen Touareg car and an apartment in Kyiv with an area of almost 95 square meters valued at 3.3 million UAH.
