Ukrainian parliament (the Verkhovna Rada of
Ukraine) amended the Law “On Prevention of Corruption" regarding the
scope of the assets to be declared in tax reports by the persons authorized to
perform the functions of state or local government.
Yehor Sobolev, chairman of the Verkhovna Rada
Committee on preventing and combating corruption, said tha the law "makes
all the officials not only declare the property, which they formally own
[according to official records], but also the property which formally belongs
to other persons, but is, in fact, in
possession of these officials" .
Besides, he added, that it is also about the
actual property like huge estates or expensive cars that does not officially
exist [on paper]"
253 lawmakers out of 334 registered MPs have
supported the amendments, an UNIAN correspondent reports.
