❓ FAQ
What is illegal enrichment?
It is when a public official holds wealth out of step with their lawful income and cannot justify it. In Ukraine it is handled by dedicated anti-corruption bodies (NABU, SAP) and tried by the High Anti-Corruption Court.
Does a notice of suspicion mean guilt?
No. It opens a judicial phase. She contests it — calling it a 'storm in a teacup' — and enjoys the presumption of innocence.
Has anyone been finally convicted?
Unless stated otherwise, no. The article reports public information from the cited sources. Investigations, charges or proceedings do not amount to guilt. The presumption of innocence applies.
Is this real news or a parody?
It is factual satire: the facts are sourced, the tone is satirical. Nothing is invented, but the framing is ironic.
