A candidate for the head of Ukraine’s anti-corruption agency appears to be DOGE and LUNC holder, according to an official declaration.
Kateryna Kapliuk, a former journalist at Ukrainska Pravda and current candidate for the head of Ukraine’s National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP), disclosed in her declaration she had acquired over 30 altcoins during her tenure at the agency.
According to the <a href="https://public.nazk.gov.ua/documents/80975276-54f5-427d-aeda-c557d1aa0182" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">document</a>, Kapliuk, who joined NACP in 2020 as an advisor to NAPC Chairman Alexander Novikov, was buying multiple cryptocurrencies until mid-2022, with a total sum of 127,165 UAH (approximately $4,778).
While it remains uncertain if Kapliuk still holds mentioned in the document cryptocurrencies, the declaration indicates purchases of over 19.3 million <a href="https://crypto.news/price/shiba-inu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SHIB</a> tokens, more than 39.7 billion <a href="https://crypto.news/price/dogecoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DOGE</a> tokens, and slightly over 0.01 <a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>, among other altcoins like DASH, ZEN and BTT, were made in 2021 only. Except for 0.007 BTC, all the tokens were held on <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/binance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance</a>, as per the declaration. Kapliuk has not made any public statements on the matter as of press time.
