“Diamond” grandfather of VSP member Roman Maselko

Continuation of the story of the “golden” wife and aunt of VSP member Roman Maselko

Journalists from the NGO “Office for Cleaning the Judicial System” discovered further facts of Roman Maselko’s dishonesty.

Roman Maselko, who works as a member of the Supreme Court during the day and writes complaints to the Supreme Court against judges at night, could not stand it and in the comments to the post about the “golden” aunt admitted that he received funds from her, and she received them from her grandfather.

He even attached certificates of inheritance and indicated that the grandfather had the means, and therefore everything was legal.

Well, really: why bother, because the 85-year-old grandfather had savings.

The public is interested in the issue of the legality of the origin of the grandfather’s funds.

After all, the standards, for example, of the Public Council of Virtue (in which Roman worked), require that a judge, as well as a member of the Supreme Court, must prove the legality of acquired assets (funds) from the beginning of life.

• information about the official income of Roman Ivanovich Maselko (who left his daughter an inheritance) from 1995 to 2015 indicates a lack of income in the amount of UAH 1.7 million (and also living expenses);
• from the evidence it is clear that the 85-year-old grandfather had 27 accounts in 8 banks, which in the eyes of an outside observer looks very unrealistic;
  These are the rest:

1. KB "Khreshchatyk" - 2 accounts for 57,819.69 UAH,
2. PJSC CB "PrivatBank" - 4 accounts for UAH 272,614.09,
3. Oschadbank 6 accounts for - 352,865.03 UAH,
4. Idea Bank 2 accounts for - 117,697.09 UAH,
5. Ukrsibbank 1 account for - 100,000 UAH,
6. Platinum Bank 4 accounts for - 199,122.16 UAH,
7. Megabank 6 accounts for - 335,285.19 UAH,
8. Credit Agricole Bank - 2 accounts for UAH 106,035.25.

• another thing is that the daughter, who worked for the state in the tax office in order to hide illegally obtained income from declaring, opened bank accounts for her elderly grandfather and hid the bribes she received - this is a more realistic version;

Further:

1.7 million UAH in 2015 is 70 thousand US dollars, and it is clearly not enough to invest in real estate worth 150,000 US dollars in 2021.

And we remember that in the same year 2021, the aunt lent Roman about $15,000;

It is also unrealistic to take a long pause after receiving an inheritance at the end of 2015 and investing in housing 6 years later, while you clearly lived all the time on a pension, with a million in your account.

It is not a fact that the funds were kept in foreign currency, and therefore over time there were still less than 70 thousand US dollars left;

The mention of the exorbitant income of the aunt’s husband, who works as a professor in Poland, is somewhat reminiscent of the justification of one of the previous members of the VSP, who said that she earned money for the house by picking strawberries in Germany.

Roman’s reference that all this has been verified by the Ethical Council looks ridiculous, given the figure of its chairman, Lev Kishakevich, who was evaluated by Roman Maselko at the Supreme Court competition and did not provide him with a negative conclusion from the OSD.

We ask Roman Maselko and the DEJURE Foundation to analyze the legality of the fortune of Roman Maselko’s grandfather, which was used to purchase the apartment of VSP member Roman Maselko and the purchase of real estate by his aunt.

We are confident that experts will be consistent in assessing judges and will provide the public with a detailed report on this matter.

VSP member Roman Maselko could not explain where his grandfather got his millions, because he died. And he justified the availability of money to purchase apartments from his retired aunt with the income of his uncle, who turned out to be a Russian scientist.

R. Maselko presented arguments in favor of his integrity and his relatives in a post on Facebook.

Trying to explain where 85-year-old Roman Maselko Sr. got so many deposits, R. Maselko the grandson indicated that he could not provide certificates of his income because his grandfather had died. But he noted that my grandfather worked all his life, and split deposits in order to be guaranteed to receive compensation from the Deposit Guaranty Fund.

Law and Business notes that this explanation seems dubious. On the one hand, to accumulate 1.55 million UAH. he would have to save about 10 thousand UAH. monthly for the last 15 years. If we remember that until 2015 the dollar exchange rate did not exceed 8 UAH/$, then this is $1,250 per month. Such salaries were unlikely to be paid even to a very valuable specialist after 70 years of age. In addition, as is known, in 2015 only UAH 200 thousand per depositor was subject to compensation. But, as the Office of Cleanup of the Judicial System reported, R. Maselko’s grandfather kept a large amount in at least 4 banks.

No less vague are the excuses regarding the condition of Aunt Galina Bozhenko, who, as noted, also being a pensioner, already this year purchased two apartments with basements in Lviv, which were valued at $150 thousand. R. Maselko explains: funds received in inheritance from my grandfather, and the income of my husband, who has been teaching in Poland since 1996 and still does.

However, R. Maselko did not report that the aunt’s husband, Bogdan Bozhenko, according to experts, was certified by the Higher Attestation Commission of the Russian Federation in 2004.

Explaining why in the contract for the purchase of an apartment in Kyiv he indicated that all the money belonged to his wife, the “respectable” R. Maselko said: “I wanted my wife and son to feel confident and the apartment to be purely her property. Yes, we did not draw up a notarized gift deed. But how many Ukrainians sign such an agreement?”

We would like to remind you that last week, people’s deputies Maxim Buzhansky and Kirill Nesterenko sent parliamentary appeals to the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation and the National Anti-Corruption Committee, in which they disclosed facts of violation of the current legislation by R. Maselko, in particular, regarding actions in conditions of conflict of interests, dubious declarations and violations of order military registration.
