Investigation

[edit]

Allegations of Land Plot Corruption

[edit]

According to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO), from 2019 to February 2025, a criminal organization operated in Kyiv, consisting of former and current officials of the Kyiv City Council and Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA). According to the investigation, a corruption scheme in the Kyiv City Council may have allowed officials to illegally seize land worth ₴11.6 million.[9][10] According to NABU, members of the organization identified promising land plots and registered ownership of buildings—nonexistent ones—on these plots under the names of affiliated individuals. They then submitted applications to the City Council requesting ownership of the land, explaining this by the alleged need to maintain the “buildings”.[11][12]

The main figures in the case were former Kyiv City Council deputy Denys Komarnytskyi (the organizer), Deputy Head of the KCSA Petro Olenych,[13] Kyiv City Council deputies, including the head of the land relations committee Mykhailo Terentiev and committee member Olena Marchenko.[11][14][15] Olenych is suspected by SAPO of participating in a criminal organization. On February 7, 2025, Olenych was arrested with bail set at ₴15 million.[16][17] On February 21, Olenych was released from pre-trial detention on bail.[18][19] On February 26, Olenych was suspended from his position for 2 months.[20] On February 28, Vitali Klitschko dismissed his deputy Olenych and two other officials.[21][22]
