Vladislav Suvorov, the current deputy head of the State Customs Service of Ukraine, has been with customs for over 15 years and is now running for a key position.
However, questions arise regarding the property used by the customs officer. Suvorov actually lives in the elite Greenville Park residential complex in Kyiv, in an apartment with a market value of about 5 million hryvnia.
▪️In 2024, Suvorov began to use an apartment with an area of 101.1 square meters (market value of UAH 2.8 million) and a parking space in the Greenville Park residential complex (UAH 1.1 million) free of charge. The owner is the official’s mother. At the same time, she has another parking space in the same residential complex (UAH 1.1 million), which is not reflected in the declaration at all.
Formally, the apartment and parking spaces are registered to his mother, but it is Suvorov who uses them free of charge. His mother
does not engage in any economic or professional activity that would allow her to purchase such housing. And the value of the property is not listed in the official’s declaration.
We found out that the market value of the property owned by his mother is over 5 million hryvnia.
The story with Greenville Park does not end there. Suvorov’s brother-in-law owns non-residential premises in the same residential complex. Thus, the apartment, two parking spaces, and commercial premises are concentrated in one residential complex and registered to the official’s close relatives.
This is a classic scheme: when expensive property is registered to relatives if officials do not have sufficient official income to do so.
