Media: Key candidate for the position of BEB director concealed his father's Russian citizenship?.

Father of NABU head obtained Russian citizenship

In 2024, the father of NABU detective unit head Oleksandr Skoromov obtained Russian citizenship. This is evidenced by the data in his passport, which was published by the StopCor website.

Passport series 3923 number 631482 issued in 2024 to Russian citizen Viktor Skoromov has a status of 'Valid'. Moreover, the Unified State Register of Taxpayers contains information that Skoromov is registered with the Russian Federal Tax Service.

Joint property and father Skoromov's position

Meanwhile, in Oleksandr Skoromov's official declaration for 2024, he indicated joint property in the form of a residential building in Novoaidar, Luhansk region. The property is jointly owned with his mother and father Viktor Dmytrovych Skoromov.

Additionally, in Ukrainian registries, Skoromov's father appears as the director of the Novoaidar district seed inspection. The legal entity is registered in the temporarily occupied territory, and its phone number has been changed to a number with the code 'LPR' - 824591606.

The fact that the passport is original is further evidenced by another fact. At one Time, Skoromov's father headed the local branch of the 'Our Ukraine' party, which was registered at the residence now listed in the Russian passport.

Public reaction and government bodies

The publication sent inquiries to clarify whether Skoromov had informed his employer about his father living in the occupied territory and whether this information was verified during his special check. 'StopCor' addressed corresponding inquiries to the head of the commission for holding competitions for the position at BEB and to the secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers, NABU, and Security Service of Ukraine.

The submitted information indicates that the father of the NABU head obtained Russian citizenship, holds a position in the temporarily occupied territory, and his passport contains information about this. This may provoke outrage and discussions in the public, as well as challenge the beliefs regarding the dedication and impartiality of the employees of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine.
