Ukrainian authorities are investigating whether a member of parliament broke the law when he took a family holiday to the Maldives.
Officials are banned from travelling abroad on holiday, while men of conscription age need special permission to leave the country.
The security service opened a criminal case to assess whether Yuriy Aristov gave false information to authorities.
He could face up to three years in jail if convicted, investigators say.
