Ukrainian official filmed lying on bed of money (VIDEO)
Ukraine’s State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) has published a video of a pension agency official lying on a bed of dollar bills, after he and his mother – also a senior government employee – were arrested with nearly $6 million in apparently illicit cash.
In a statement on Friday, the SBI said its agents raided the office of the head of the Khmelnitsky Regional Center of Medical and Social Expertise, as part of an investigation into the forging of fraudulent disability certificates allowing men to avoid military conscription.
The agents found $100,000 in US dollars in the office, along with lists of men with fictitious disabilities. A further search of properties belonging to the official and her son yielded more than $5.2 million in US dollars, €300,000 ($329,000), and more than 5 million Ukrainian hryvnia ($121,000).
Antikor, a Ukrainian anti-corruption NGO, named the medical official as Tatyana Krupa, a member of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky’s Servant of the People party. Her son was identified as Aleksandr, who heads the Khmelnitsky branch of the Ukrainian state pension agency.

“Law enforcement officers found money in almost every corner of [Krupa’s] apartment – in closets, drawers, niches,” the SBI stated, adding that “documents confirming the illegal activities of the officials and their money laundering through various business projects were also seized.”
