NABU reveals details of suspicion against Stefanishyna for enrichment of almost UAH 14 million
NABU and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office have officially announced the suspicion against former Deputy Prime Minister and former Minister of Justice Olha Stefanishyna. She is accused of illegal enrichment of over UAH 13.9 million and entering inaccurate information in her asset declaration.
According to the investigation, Stefanishyna actually owned two apartments in the Kyiv residential complex "Faina Town" with a total value of almost UAH 11 million. The real estate was registered in the name of her friend.
Anti-corruption authorities also stated that at various times the suspect used assets registered in the names of close people. Among them — an apartment in the capital's business-class residential complex "Lvivska Ploshcha", registered in her mother's name, as well as a parking space and several non-residential premises in the same complex, registered in her father's name.
Additionally, a Mercedes-Benz GLC 220 d, officially owned by her subordinate, was allegedly in Stefanishyna's use. The official did not disclose information about these assets in her declarations.
NABU also found that Stefanishyna was negotiating the purchase of a house near Kyiv with an estimated cost of $550 thousand. It was assumed that she would pay $250 thousand in cash and the rest by transferring two apartments in the "Faina Town" residential complex to the seller.
The deal ultimately did not take place. The investigation suggests that the suspect may have withdrawn from buying the house because of her appointment to a diplomatic position abroad.
Stefanishyna's official income, according to NABU's assessment, did not allow the purchase of such property. From the beginning of 2024 to mid-2025, she earned approximately UAH 3.7 million. At the same time, only from her bank accounts during this period approximately UAH 4.2 million were spent.
The former official's actions have been qualified under the article on illegal enrichment and the second part of the article on declaring inaccurate information. This refers to Article 368-5 and Part 2 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Earlier, the court chose a preventive measure for Stefanishyna in the form of bail of UAH 6 million and imposed procedural obligations for a period of two months.
The apartment in the residential complex "Lvivska Ploshcha" was previously mentioned in the investigation by hromadske. Journalists reported that Stefanishyna's mother purchased the property for about UAH 3 million, while the cost of similar apartments in this complex was significantly higher. The former official explained that her parents invested in real estate at the construction stage and paid for it in installments.
Suspicion does not prove guilt. Stefanishyna is considered innocent until a court establishes her guilt through a conviction.
