Details: The suspicion against Golovko was reported by NABU and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office.
The investigation determined that the suspect, while serving as the chairman of the regional council, failed to declare a 202 sq. m apartment owned by his mother, which he used with family members, along with a parking space, a car wash, and a storage room belonging to family members, as well as funds in a bank account.
Law enforcement officials do not disclose the name of the individual involved, but Ukrainian Truth learned from its sources that it concerns former people's deputy, ex-head of the Ternopil Regional Council, and current council member Mykhailo Golovko.
What preceded this:
- On June 26, NABU and SAP detained Golovko for accepting a bribe. According to the investigation, together with two deputies of the Ternopil Regional State Administration, he demanded nearly 1.8 million UAH from a business owner for signing acts of completed work on the construction and repair of infrastructure facilities by the communal enterprise of the Ternopil Regional Council.
- On June 28, Golovko was arrested for 60 days with the possibility of posting bail of 805,000 UAH, and on June 29, he was released after paying this amount.
- On August 1, 2024, the court reinstated Golovko as chairman of the Ternopil Regional Council, but on the same day, regional council deputies voted again to dismiss him.
