HOW TO PREVENT ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE EXERCISE OF CORRUPTION RIGHTS ?!

FABULA: A client - a civil servant - turned to experts "PRIKHODKO & PARTNERS". The civil servant who was named in the summer of 2017 inherited the house and land. The ownership of the specified objects was registered by the notary right after the adoption of the inheritance.

Taking into account that the client did not have full information about the cost of the indicated objects and a clear understanding of the anti-corruption legislation, the indicated real estate objects were entered into the electronic declaration with a delay.

As a result, in the structural unit where the official was working, they started disciplinary proceedings, and the Department of Economic Protection of the State Enterprise of Ukraine began the verification on the fact of committing a corruption administrative offense. As part of the said inspection, the personnel department asked for materials on the personal affairs of the official, in particular: P-2DS forms, autobiography, orders for appointment, transfer, bonus, assignment to a rank of civil servant, etc., officials (functional duties), a certificate on taking an oath, working time table and other official documentation.

In addition, the Department of Economic Protection was summoned to explain the head of the department on work with staff and civil servant who allegedly committed a corruption offense.
