“He had to fill out the declaration as of January 1, 2025, but the property was acquired in 2025, later. Regarding this property, he never hid it, nor was there ever a secret deal as if this property doesn’t exist or isn’t his. It was registered in his wife’s name. The purchase was made completely legally. About two weeks ago, we presented evidence to the investigation showing that he had approximately twice as much income during the period when he held no public office at all.

It’s theoretically impossible. We’ve seen many incorrect reasonings in court, incompatible with the law, but incompatible with arithmetic – this is the first time,” the lawyer stated.
