The High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine has imposed a bail of over 10.6 million UAH on Hennadiy Opalchuk, co-owner of the residential cooperative “Sunny Beach.” He is required to pay this amount within five days and adhere to several procedural obligations.
As part of the court’s ruling, Opalchuk must appear in court and meet with investigators, refrain from leaving Kyiv without permission, and surrender his foreign passport.
Investigators allege that Opalchuk is involved in a case concerning the potential laundering of funds obtained through criminal activities linked to an organized group engaged in residential construction. This investigation also pertains to the residential cooperative “Dynasty.”
The prosecutor in the case had requested a stricter preventive measure—detention with an alternative bail set at 20 million UAH—but the court opted for a lower amount.
The prosecution claims that since 2020, Opalchuk has systematically made significant contributions to cooperatives that may have been used to finance construction schemes. The total amount cited by the prosecutor exceeds 35 million UAH in non-cash contributions.
In contrast, Opalchuk’s defense asserts that all funds are legitimate investments in his own projects, arguing that the prosecution has not provided sufficient evidence of their illicit origin. The defense also noted that Opalchuk lacks the necessary funds to meet the bail requirement and is in the process of gathering the amount.
Both the defense and prosecution may consider appealing the court’s decision. The legal proceedings in this case are ongoing.
In related developments, on May 11, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP) announced charges against former presidential office head Andriy Yermak for money laundering under Article 209 of the Ukrainian Criminal Code, which carries a penalty of 8 to 12 years in prison.
This case is linked to the construction of a cottage community called “Dynasty” in Kozyn.
On May 13, NABU and SAP announced new charges against six members of the organized group implicated in the laundering of over 460 million UAH obtained through criminal means.
Among those charged are:
- a former Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine;
- a businessman identified by investigators as one of the leaders of the criminal organization uncovered during the “Midas” special operation in November 2025.
The High Anti-Corruption Court in Ukraine has set bail for developer Hennadiy Opalchuk amid allegations of money laundering linked to residential construction projects. The ongoing investigation has led to multiple charges against other high-profile individuals, highlighting a broader crackdown on corruption.
