Former top official of the State Production Corporation of Ukraine Andrii Zadyraka, accused of raiding land grabs, fraud and corruption crimes, may be extradited to Ukraine by the Hellenic Republic, where he is currently hiding from Ukrainian justice. Moreover, Zadyraka is accused in the case of theft of property.

Korotko.Pro writes about this.

On December 16, the Korosten interdistrict court of the Zhytomyr region will begin the hearing of the case regarding Zadyraka’s fraud, among other things, a decision may also be made to declare the ex-official on international wanted list.

The publication reminds that Zadyraka is accused in the case of theft of property – agricultural land of the Malyn community – with an estimated value of over UAH 600 million. The prosecutor’s office has already returned the property, and the organizer of the scheme fled abroad in the first months of the full-scale invasion and is now in Greece.

According to the investigation, Zadyraka and his accomplices decided to take ownership of the land plots that were allocated to the local collective farm in the mid-1990s. For this, in 2019, they decided to “revive” the collective farm and gain control over it. According to the press service of the State Bureau of Investigation, land with an area of ​​more than 1.3 thousand hectares and a potential market value of more than 600 million UAH. returned to the community by the decision of the Supreme Court in September 2024 through the economic process.

In the criminal trial for the Zadyrac scheme, suspicions were announced under part 2, 3 of article 27, part 1 of article 190, part 4 of article 27, part 3 of article. 365-2 of the Criminal Code in proceedings No. 62023000000000193. He is suspected of organizing fraud on a particularly large scale, punishable by imprisonment for up to 12 years with confiscation of property, and of aiding and abetting the abuse of his position by officials. In the summer of 2023, the Zadyraks’ property was seized.

A number of his companies are also involved in other criminal cases related to raiding under similar schemes, where communities, with the help of the prosecutor’s office, successfully appeal the decision and get their property back.

“Understanding the intensification of court proceedings and the risks of further expansion of sanctions, Zadyrak is getting rid of his assets. For example, the Agro Invest Lugyny LLC company with more than 3,300 plots of land registered to his father-in-law Ivan Logvynyuk was transferred to Viktor Shpitalenko, an entrepreneur from Luhansk Oblast, at the end of November 2025,” the newspaper writes.

Investment contracts: in Ukraine, they want to cover up a widespread land scheme.

Also, the arrest of the Kopistira developer was extended, but the bail was reduced.
