Details
Law enforcement officers conducted a large -scale “Clean City” operation to destroy corruption in the land and budgetary sphere of Kyiv.
The activity of a criminal organization headed by a media-well-known former deputy of the Kyiv City Council (hereinafter referred to as the CMR) was exposed and terminated
Among the suspects:
- Exploration of the CMR, head of the criminal organization;
- Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration (hereinafter – KSCA);
- Chairman and Member of the Permanent Commission of the CMR on Architecture, Mistressing and Land Relations, CMR Deputies current;
- First Deputy and Deputy Director of Utilities;
- Four other persons.
According to NABU, 7 participants of the criminal organization have now been detained.
The scheme was to search for promising land plots and registration for controlled persons of ownership of structures that have never existed in these areas. In the future, the City Council applied for giving them ownership of land for servicing these structures, which allowed to avoid trading
In addition, it is known that the deputies of the KMR and the KSCA officials, some of whom were part of the criminal organization, and some were influenced by it, made decisions on granting relevant land rights, for which they received illegal benefits in the form of funds and real estate funds .
At the same time, such decisions were under the full control of the participants of the criminal organization: “needed” persons were granted the rights to the land, and the rest faced artificial obstacles and had to contact the participants of the criminal organization for assistance.
The head of the criminal organization had a significant impact on the processes within the KMR and the KSCA, such as officials, appointment to high positions of loyal persons, dismissal of under control officials, allocation of budgetary funds in the interests of a criminal organization, etc. He also maintained connections with a wide range of influential persons, including deputy chairman of the KSCA, deputies, chairman of the KMR land commission and others. The decision -making center, in particular in the land sphere, moved from Khreshchatyk, 36 to another building, where the questions were “resolved” with the participation of city tops and other influential persons
To conceal their activities, participants of the criminal organization used special terminals of mobile communication, alias, counter -surveillance and other actions aimed at avoiding responsibility, but this did not prevent detectives.
In particular, it is reported that as a result of the activity of the criminal organization during 2023-2024, land in the city center worth UAH 11.6 million was illegally withdrawn.
Also, law enforcement officers were able to prevent the seizure of six more land in the capital with a total value of UAH 83.7 million. But the attempt is exposed through threats and artificial obstacles to force a private enterprise to stop legal activity in trade and lease of trade premises in one of the areas of the capital in order to take possession for further construction of the land plot of this enterprise.
… The proposal of an undue benefit of $ 100,000 was recorded
