Members of an organized group owned three real estate properties in the center of Odessa, causing more than UAH 10 million losses to the territorial community.
Suspicion was reported to a representative of the Odessa City Council and three members of an organized group about the facts of falsification of documents and their use, fraudulent seizure of communal property and its legalization. The Office of the Prosecutor General announced this on May 28.
It was noted that the deputy, who is a member of the standing commission of the Odessa City Council on community property, developed a scheme for illegal enrichment by registering ownership of real estate directly or indirectly owned by territorial communities. He is accompanied by a lawyer he knows and a circle of trusted executors in his plan.
The conspirators searched for communal areas on the first and second floors in the center of Odessa, rented them through controlled public organizations and businesses, and then bought them on a non-competitive basis. After that, they increased the area of u200bu200bthe purchased premises at the expense of attics and basements and, based on false documentation, registered ownership of dummies. Some of the illegally acquired non-residential areas were converted into residential apartments and sold to bona fide purchasers.
Thus, members of an organized group owned three real estate properties in the center of Odessa, causing more than UAH 10 million losses to the territorial community. Investigative actions are continuing on other stages of illegal activities of the organized group, the Office of the Prosecutor General said.
The co-organizer and two perpetrators were given a preventive measure in the form of detention with the alternative of bail. The issue of placing the deputy-organizer on the wanted list and giving permission to the court to detain him to give him a reason to participate in the consideration of the petition to apply a preventive measure in the form of detention has been resolved.
We remind you that a large-scale international fraudulent call center was liquidated in Odessa. The victims suffered damages totaling more than 5.5 million hryvnias.
It was also reported that pseudo-agribusinessmen were detained in Kyiv, who, using forged documents, tried to get a 25 million hryvnia loan from a bank.
