Ivan Lyakhovchenko is a new prosecutor’s “star” with million-dollar cars

A new “star” has shone among Odessa prosecutors – the prosecutor of the Odessa Regional Prosecutor’s Office Ivan Lyakhovchenko.

Questions began to arise for him a long time ago - due to his participation in pressure on local businesses (covering up illegal searches, failure to comply with court decisions), but investigators became interested in his person after he bought a second car in a row for a million hryvnia in six months

Prosecutor Lyakhovchenko is known in Odessa for ignoring the illegal actions of law enforcement officers. In 2018, the Qualification and Disciplinary Commission of Prosecutors even brought Lyakhovchenko to disciplinary liability for such intentional and illegal actions, reprimanding him (decision No. 13dp-18 ) He deliberately ignored demands to return the property seized during the search ( computer equipment) enterprise (case 522/14215/17 ) The violation occurred in the first year of Lyakhovchenko’s work in the Odessa local prosecutor’s office No. 3. A year later, the same Qualification and Disciplinary Commission of Prosecutors recognized the prosecutor as one who was not subject to disciplinary liability - because he “drew the appropriate conclusions” and “did not violate the law” (decision No. 438зс-18 ) The Commission’s conclusions clearly turned out to be premature

Having worked all his life (since 2016) in the prosecutor's office, Lyakhovchenko declares property that does not coincide with his income: 5 real estate properties (land plots, apartments, a complex of buildings, structures), including an elite office space purchased in 2021 on the coast of Odessa. It is registered to his wife Marina Lyakhovchenko, who for 2023 declared only 110 thousand UAH of wages in the Odessa regional department of the Ministry of Justice. This office in the declaration is indicated as purchased for 100 thousand UAH at a market price of about $100 thousand. However, as a simple Justice Ministry clerk, she declared a “cash gift” » at 96 thousand UAH

The car fleet of the prosecutor’s family deserves special attention. At the end of 2023, they bought a brand new 2022 HONDA M-NV for 969.9 thousand UAH, which theoretically could have been enough for Lyakhovchenko’s annual salary in the prosecutor’s office (1 million 17.4 thousand UAH) But already in May 2024, he buys another “million dollar baby” - AUDI A6 for 995 thousand UAH. The prosecutor acquired ownership of this car on May 9 - he pleased himself on “Victory Day”

Since a new prosecutorial “star” is rising in Odessa, the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption should conduct an audit of his lifestyle and income level

This is only part of what we can say about prosecutor Lyakhovchenko at the present time, but there are several questions in development, so look forward to the continuation. New revelations of the shabby prosecutor will be ready in the coming days
