Kherson official's wealth and lifestyle raise questions

First Deputy Head of Kherson Regional Council Yuriy Sobolevsky declared over 3 million hryvnias in 2019, with his family exhibiting a luxurious lifestyle including international travel and a high-end car, raising questions about the source of their wealth. Sobolevsky, who transitioned to politics in 2019 after a career in law, saw his family's assets significantly increase. His wife and daughter, despite lacking official income, reportedly traveled globally and used a luxury vehicle while he earned a modest salary. The investigation by "Схеми" highlights unexplained wealth and a lavish lifestyle, suggesting potential illicit acquisition of assets. Sobolevsky attributes the funds to his successful legal career, but the origin of the substantial cash declared remains unclear.
