Details of the Suspicion and Court Decision
Detectives from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and prosecutors from the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office appealed to the court for a preventive measure for Alla Kyrylenko in the form of a bail of 36 million hryvnias. The amount attributed to the husband of the suspect by the investigation is significantly higher. During the court hearing, Alla Kyrylenko stated that she does not understand the reason for the suspicion, emphasizing that she was not present during the transactions involving the purchase of property, did not contact the property owners, and did not participate in viewing apartments.
“I was not present at all the transactions (for the purchase of property by her parents – ed.). I did not call the owners, nor did I view the apartments,” said Alla Kyrylenko.
The woman also stated that after the suspicion was handed to her husband in August 2024, she did not leave the territory of Ukraine and does not plan to do so now. The court partially satisfied the prosecution’s request and set the bail at 9 million hryvnias, which must be paid within five days. In addition, Alla Kyrylenko is prohibited from leaving Kyiv and the region, she must surrender her foreign passports for safekeeping, and she is required to appear at the request of investigators and prosecutors.
Context of the Case and Investigation Details
On June 5, 2025, NABU and SAP announced the suspicion against Alla Kyrylenko for aiding in illegal enrichment, and also handed a new suspicion to Pavlo Kyrylenko for failing to declare property. Investigators believe that in 2024, Pavlo Kyrylenko did not reflect in his electronic declaration data about 20 real estate properties and a premium-class car registered to close relatives of his wife. These same assets became the basis for the preliminary suspicion of illegal enrichment and false declaration for the years 2020–2023.
The criminal proceedings were opened based on materials from a journalistic investigation, which established that from 2020 to 2023, the Kyrylenko family acquired real estate and cars in Kyiv, the region, and Uzhhorod with a total value of over 70 million hryvnias, without having official income of such magnitude. In comments to journalists, Pavlo Kyrylenko explained the origin of the wealth as the family’s starting capital, which, according to him, arose in the 1990s after the sale of shares of the “Stirol” plant, which were received by his future wife’s grandmother. However, no official confirmation of such transactions could be found.
In the 2023 declaration, the official indicated an apartment with an area of 200 square meters in Kyiv, registered to his wife’s 77-year-old grandmother, valued at 6.2 million hryvnias. At the same time, the BMW car used by his wife did not appear in the declaration.
On August 28, 2024, the court also chose a preventive measure for Pavlo Kyrylenko, refusing to take him into custody but assigning a bail of 30 million hryvnias with the obligation to wear an electronic bracelet. It later became known that this amount for the head of the AMCU was provided by the company “Keramet,” whose beneficiary is businessman Eduard Mkrtchan.
On June 4, 2025, the court reduced the bail amount for Pavlo Kyrylenko to 25 million hryvnias, but denied permission for official foreign business trips.
