The Holosiivskyi District Court of Kyiv found unfounded accusations for the non -policy of the People’s Deputy of the 8th convocation of Alexander Granovsky Class “Lux”, elite real estate and cash in the amount of $ 700 thousand.
The court order was issued on June 6, 2025 in case No. 752/13292/25, proceedings №1-KKS/752/4797/25.
The complaint was filed by lawyer Andriy Vovk in the interests of the applicant. The statement referred to the probable facts of a criminal offense by Granovsky, which the applicant allegedly discovered from journalistic investigations. Among the evidence was a reference to the publications of the Project “Schemes”, Radio Liberty, UNIAN, “Channel 24”, “Honest”, as well as to the blog of former MP Ehor Firsov. These materials argued that Granovsky used undeclared cars, lived in real estate, which was not reflected in his declarations, and hid $ 700,000, obtained in previous years.
However, the investigating judge Konstantin Mashkevich concluded that the information outlined in publications is not confirmed by any factual evidence. The decree explicitly states that the applicant did not provide any materials that would objectively testify to the commission of a criminal offense. Added to the complaint, the court found the court as a journalistic nature and cannot be grounds for the opening of criminal proceedings.
In addition, the Court found that similar charges were already the subject of official investigation within the criminal proceedings No. 5201900000000058 and No. 52019000000000559, opened by NABU detectives in July 2019 on the grounds of the false declaration (Article 366-1 of Criminal Code of Ukraine). Both proceedings were united and closed on December 26, 2019 due to the lack of a crime. The court found the decision to close the proceedings by a legitimate and adopted authorized body in accordance with the requirements of jurisdiction.
Separately in the decree it is noted that in 2019 the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NAPC) conducted a full check of the declaration of Alexander Granovsky for 2017. The inspection was started by the decision of the NAPC No. 287 of 30.01.2019, and ended with the decision №1106 of 19.04.2019, which officially confirmed the absence of signs of violations of anti -corruption legislation, including illegal enrichment, submission of false information or other formal violations in the declaration of income and property.
The court also considering that Art. 366-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which provided for liability for declaring false information, was excluded from the Criminal Code by Law No. 1074-IX of 04.12.2020. Therefore, even in the case of hypothetical violation by this date, criminal prosecution is impossible due to the lack of criminal punishment of such an act.
The term of criminal prosecution for such offenses expired in 2021. The Court emphasizes that the most severe punishment that could have been applied in these circumstances is imprisonment of up to two years, and the limitation period for this type of crime is three years.
From the official notification of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine No. 11/6/4.7.1/7491-25 of March 18, 2025, it follows that there is no case in the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations about Alexander Granovsky, which would meet the charges.
Thus, the court concluded a clear conclusion: the filed statement on the crime lacks factual data that would allow the conclusion that a criminal offense is expected. The applicant’s arguments have the character of assumptions and do not meet the requirements of criminal procedural legislation.
In the context of public attention to the Granovsky person, the court separately stressed that court decisions are valid and are considered legitimate until they are canceled on appeal or cassation. Disagreement with a court decision cannot be grounds for opening new criminal proceedings or attempts to pressure the judiciary.
