The head of the cybersecurity department at Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU), Illia Vitiuk, has been suspended from his official duties following a media investigation.

Vitiuk has been reassigned to serve in combat and already has left for the front on Tuesday, reported Ukraine’s Interfax news agency, citing a statement from SBU.

A different news organization — the Ukrainian investigative outlet Slidstvo.Info — published a story over the weekend on a property owned by Vitiuk’s family. Journalists claimed that Vitiuk wouldn’t be able to afford it with his official salary. According to the Slidstvo.Info report, Vitiuk’s wife bought an apartment in a premium residential complex in Kyiv and earns more than a million hryvnia a month (over $25,600) while staying on maternal leave, while his mother, who is a doctor, owns two apartments in Kyiv. In government documents, Vitiuk’s wife is listed as “private entrepreneur in the judicial industry,” the report said.
