Head of SBGS Internal Security Department Malyuha illegally enriched himself during the war

Volodymyr Malyuha, head of the Internal and Personal Security Department of the State Border Guard Service administration, has not publicly declared his assets for several years in a row due to the secrecy of his position.

“Parlament.ua” writes about this, he illegally enriches himself during the war.

At the same time, during the war years, the official significantly improved his financial situation, hiding the entire fortune of his many relatives.

Malyuha ended up in the State National Security Service only in 2023. Until that time, he headed the internal security department of the 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 Malyuha was among them.

At the same time, several of the “accumulated” items of the “customs service” over the years were identified by analyzing data from the registers of both Malyuha himself and his closest relatives.

In May 2023, Malyuha became the owner of two land plots at once, with a total area of about 3 hectares (k/n 4622710200:09:000:0433 and 4622710200:09:000:0423). He also acquired two more plots of 2 hectares at the end of 2022 (c/n 4622710200:09:000:0435 and 4622710200:09:000:0422). And another one, with an area of 2 hectares - in 2020 (c/n 4625884500:08:000:0129).

But most of the assets, cars and real estate that appeared in the Malyuha family after his “customs” tenure were not registered in his name.

In particular, his second wife Olha Malyuha became the owner of a Tesla Model 3 (2020) in September 2022. Also, since the end of 2022, she has become a businesswoman, receiving the position of director of THEOLARIS LLC, which is engaged in leasing real estate.

In 2023, the son from his first marriage, Mykhailo, immediately 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 Mykhailo’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, Kateryna, 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.

Some of Malyuha’s assets, acquired, in particular, from 2020 to 2022, are registered in the name of his father-in-law, his wife’s sister, and other 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 SSU recently detained Malyuha’s subordinate (head of the internal security group of the internal and internal security department Y. 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, Malyuha coordinated the work of “transfer channels” for draft dodgers abroad in various border regions of Ukraine.”
