Alla Baranovskaya, the former wife of People’s Deputy Mykola Tyshchenko, lost her case in court over the seizure of significant amounts of cash during the investigation. The Supreme Anti-Corruption Court decided to leave these funds under arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Details of the seizure of cash in the Tyshchenko case<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In early November 2024, investigators conducted searches in the apartments of Mykola Tyshchenko and Alla Baranovskaya, during which they seized significant amounts of cash:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the People’s Deputy’s apartment – $171.5 thousand and 150 thousand euros.
From Baranovskaya’s home – $320 thousand, 240 thousand euros, and a Swiss Audemars Piguet watch.
These funds were confiscated as part of the case of the beating of a military man in Dnipro, where Tyshchenko is a defendant. The seizure of funds was later imposed in connection with another investigation into possible illegal enrichment and false income declaration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Baranovskaya tried to cancel the arrest<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baranovskaya’s lawyer claimed that the seized money, $269.2 thousand and 202 thousand euros, belongs to her and her father and has a documented origin. According to him, these funds were earned through entrepreneurial activity and property sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, NABU detectives noted that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until 2019, when Tyshchenko began his political career, Baranovskaya’s income was very low – only 304 thousand hryvnias in six years.
After Tyshchenko entered politics, Baranovskaya’s financial situation improved dramatically. She became an individual entrepreneur and began declaring millions of hryvnias of income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The court also noted that after the divorce, Tyshchenko declared receiving 12.6 million hryvnias as a gift from Baranovskaya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The court’s grounds for maintaining the arrest<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Supreme Anti-Corruption Court left the money under arrest for several reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pre-trial investigation into possible illicit enrichment is ongoing.
The arrested funds are considered material evidence in the case.
The court noted that Tyshchenko also filed a motion to return the money, but the amounts he claims exceed those seized.
The arrest of the cash did not significantly harm Baranovskaya’s financial situation, as she has a stable business and income.
Financial status of Baranovskaya and Tyshchenko<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2023, Alla Baranovskaya declared 8.8 million hryvnias of income and kept 13.3 million hryvnias and $290 thousand in cash.
In 2024, Mykola Tyshchenko officially received 425.9 thousand hryvnias in salary and 12.6 million hryvnias as a gift. He declared $211,000, \u20ac150,000, and 550,000 hryvnias in cash.
While the investigation is ongoing, millions of dollars and euros related to Tyshchenko’s family remain under arrest. The court notes that a final decision regarding these funds will be made only after the investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
