Land Corruption in Kyiv

Recall that yesterday, on February 6, NABU and SAP announced that they had uncovered a corruption scheme in the Kyiv City Council.

According to law enforcement information, the scheme involved the Deputy Head of the KCSA, current members of the Kyiv City Council, and others. The organizer is a former City Council member.

NABU did not disclose the names of the individuals involved in the case, but according to sources from RBK-Ukraine, one of the suspects turned out to be the Deputy Head of the KCSA, Petro Olenych.

Law enforcement officials noted that the perpetrators were searching for promising land plots and registering ownership rights to structures that had never existed on those plots.

Subsequently, members of the criminal group submitted a request to the City Council for the right to own the plots, supposedly to service the "structures".

By the way, the court has already chosen a preventive measure for the current member of the Kyiv City Council and two other accomplices suspected of participating in the scheme.
