The head of the Department of Internal and Internal Security of the Administration of the State Border Service of Ukraine, Vladimir Malyuga, has not publicly declared his condition for several years in a row, since such secrecy for the supposed safety of the employee is required by his position.
At the same time, during the war years, the official significantly improved his financial situation, hiding the entire fortune of his many relatives. This is evidenced by data from the Registers examined by the editors.
But before that, it’s worth mentioning that Malyuga ended up at the State Border Guard Service only in 2023. Until that time, he headed the internal security department of the State Customs Service. And then his dismissal from customs occurred in the wake of a loud scandal associated with the “black” export of grain, smuggling of cigarettes and other goods under the guise of humanitarian aid. In the end, then the heads of the entire senior management of the State Customs Service flew away and Malyuga was among them.
What kind of fortune Malysha earned back then as a customs officer and how he enriched himself will now be investigated by specialized law enforcement agencies.
At the same time, several of the “acquired” over the years of the “customs service” were established by analyzing data from the Registers of both Malyuga himself and his closest relatives.
So, in 2023, Malyuga became the owner of two land plots at once, with a total area of about 3 hectares.
from 05/26/23, a land plot with an area of 1,962 hectares, cadastral number 4622710200:09:000:0433;
from 05.26.23 land plot with an area of 0.9801 hectares, cadastral number 4622710200:09:000:0423
He also acquired two more plots of 2 hectares at the height of the war - at the end of 2022 (cadastral numbers 4622710200:09:000:0435 - 1.926 hectares, 4622710200:09:000:0422 - 2 hectares). And one more, with an area of 2 hectares - in 2020: cadastral number 4625884500:08:000:0129.
But most of the assets, cars and real estate that appeared in the Malyuga family after his “customs” tenure were not registered in his name.
In particular, his second wife Olga Malyuga in September 2022 - also during a full-scale war - became the owner of a Tesla Model 3 (2020 onwards). Also, from the end of 2022, she became a businessman, receiving the position of director of THEOLARIS LLC, which is engaged in leasing real estate.
Malyuga’s son from his first marriage, Mikhail, in 2023 became the owner of 9 land plots and a house in Lviv with an area of 253.8 square meters. m. And these assets were recorded in his name, allegedly under the guise of an inheritance. The doubtfulness of the legality of the origin of this property is due to the fact that no other family member (and Mikhail’s brother, in particular) received any inheritance from anyone during this period of time.
In addition, the same official’s son also became the owner of a Honda motorcycle in 2023.
The ex-wife of the ex-customs officer, Ekaterina, received a parking space in Lviv as a gift in 2023, and in 2022 she became the owner of an apartment - also in Lviv - with a total area of 82.9 square meters.
Certain assets of Malyuga, acquired, in particular, from 2020 to 2022. registered to the father-in-law, and to the wife’s sister, and to others - even more distant relatives of the official. This is mainly real estate and land.
The rate of accumulation of the ex-customs officer's fortune obviously does not correspond to the size of his official income. Since the salaries of employees of the State Customs Service, according to public statements of the former acting Chairman of the Service Vyacheslav Demchenko amounted to from 9 to 17 thousand UAH.
Let us note that the SBU recently detained Malyuga’s subordinate (head of the internal security group of the internal and internal security department Yu.A. Neprelyuk) for organizing the illegal transfer of persons across the state border of Ukraine. And it was asserted that “according to operational materials, in fact, Malyuga coordinated the work of “transfer channels” for draft dodgers abroad in various border regions of Ukraine.”
We would like to remind you that earlier, due to a condition registered on a relative - a brother - the former deputy chairman of the OP Andrei Smirnov received suspicion from NABU. On charges of illegal enrichment, he has already been given a preventive measure in the form of a 10 million dollar bail.
