NABU Detective Unit Head and BEB Director Candidate Skomarov Concealed Russian Citizenship of Father Who Has Business in "LPR"

In the second year of the full-scale invasion, the father of the head of the NABU detectives unit, Oleksandr Skomarov, received Russian citizenship. This is evidenced by his passport data, which was obtained by the editors of StopCor, UNN reports.

Passport series 3923 number 631482 issued in 2024 to a citizen of the Russian Federation Viktor Skomarov and has the status "Valid".

Also, in the Unified Register of Taxpayers, you can get information that Skomarov is registered with the FPS of the Russian Federation.

At the same time, in the official declaration of Oleksandr Skomarov for 2024, the joint joint ownership of a residential building in Novoaidar, Luhansk region, is indicated. He owns the real estate jointly with his mother and father, Viktor Dmytrovych Skomarov.

In addition, in Ukrainian registers Skomarov's father appears as the director of the Novoaidar District Seed Inspectorate.

The legal entity is registered in the temporarily occupied territory, and its phone number has been changed to a number with the code "LNR" - 824591606.

Another fact proves that the passport is original. At one time, Skomarov's father headed the cell of the Our Ukraine party, which he registered at his place of residence, which is now indicated in his Russian passport.

We remind you that according to the current legislation, if an employee has not informed the employer about existing ties with relatives who are in the TOT (temporarily occupied territories) of Ukraine, he may be dismissed.  

In this regard, the editors sent requests to find out whether Skomarov reported his father, who lives in the occupied territory, what measures will be taken in case he does not report such a fact, whether this information was checked during his special check, and also regarding the commission's assessment of Skomarov's concealment of family ties with a resident of the temporarily occupied territory.

The editors of StopCor contacted the chairman of the commission for holding a competition for the position in the BEB and the secretariat of the CMU, NABU and SBU with relevant requests. If we receive a response, we will publish the information received.
