Rada summons Prosecutor General Kostin over investigation into property of his deputy Verbytskyi

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has adopted an initiative to summon Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin to a report on the property of his deputy Dmytro Verbytskyi.

Member of the Verkhovna Rada from the Holos faction, Yaroslav Zhelezniak, announced this on his Telegram channel, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

"The Rada summoned Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin for tomorrow at 12:00 p.m. for a report on the property of his deputy, Mr. Verbytskyi," he wrote.

According to him, the initiative was supported by 216 votes of parliamentarians (out of 150 required).

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in May the journalists of Skhemy (Schemes) found out that the Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine Dmytro Verbytskyi lives in a house in the elite cottage town Konyk in Kyiv, which his nephew bought by proxy from an Odesa businessman for over UAH 2 million - which is 6 times less than its market value.

The journalists also found out that Verbytskyi's girlfriend Khrystyna Ilnytska in 2024 became the owner of elite property worth at least UAH 52 million, without having sufficient official income of her own.

Verbytskyi previously sold a car for UAH 1.6 million and declared the corresponding income.
