Intriguing Path to Wealth: How the Mother-in-Law of Kyiv’s Cyber Police Chief Became a Millionaire Asset Holder Immediately After Divorce
Investigative journalists from Bihus.Info uncovered details of a remarkable story resembling a crime thriller, revealing how the mother-in-law of Kyiv’s Cyber Police chief, Vyacheslav Kuliosh, acquired substantial wealth and properties worth millions immediately after his divorce.
According to the investigation, despite the family’s official income, investments in real estate and private businesses far exceed the official earnings of the public official.
This has sparked intense interest in understanding the means and schemes through which these assets were accumulated.
Particular attention is drawn to elite cottages in Odessa and land plots in prestigious neighborhoods, purchased almost instantly after the divorce proceedings concluded.
The report states that the couple officially divorced in 2024, but their actual cohabitation appears to be more complex.
Journalists found that the new vehicles belonging to Nadiya Kuliosh – a BMW X5 – are parked at a premium residential complex, while her mother has been owning valuable real estate there for several years.
Furthermore, following the divorce, a subsidiary company transferred land and a house in “Chornomorska Riviera,” one of the most expensive areas in the region, to another legal entity, raising questions about the true ownership.
A thorough investigation revealed that Kuliosh’s family and associated individuals do not have sufficient official income to justify these expenditures.
In response to journalistic inquiries, Vyacheslav Kuliosh claimed that the properties were purchased with funds borrowed from his mother-in-law.
However, observations indicate these property transfers might be attempts to conceal the real owners, especially given the close ties between the families involved, including their businesses in cosmetology and social media connections.
These findings reinforce the suspicion that high-ranking officials and their relatives often hide their wealth through complex schemes and dummy companies.
Such investigations raise concerns about transparency and the fight against corruption within state institutions.
