Detention of the suspects
In the city of Uzhhorod, law enforcement agencies detained the head of a construction company and the husband of the owner of a land plot. According to the investigation, these individuals attempted to obtain the cancellation of a court ban on the construction of a nine-storey residential complex, offering 10,000 US dollars in exchange.
Representatives of the State Bureau of Investigation and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine announced the fact of the detention. It is known that the construction of the complex, which was planned to include 450 apartments, had previously been halted following a lawsuit filed by residents of the adjacent area.
Circumstances of the money transfer
According to SBI data, the money was handed over to a judge of the Zakarpattia Court of Appeal on 2 November. Investigators believe that this individual was involved in the scheme as an intermediary. Immediately after the incident, the head of the construction company and his accomplice were detained.
Both suspects have been notified of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The pre-trial investigation is ongoing under the procedural supervision of the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, with the NABU carrying out the investigative work.
Details emerging in the media
Local media, citing sources in law enforcement agencies, speculate that the case may relate to the "Sadovy Kvartal" residential complex. Among the likely suspects, publications name Vladyslav Tymoshchuk and Yurii Senkulych. The publications also mention the names of judges Taras Bysag and Iryna Shepetko.
It is worth noting that the names cited by local media currently appear only in reports referencing sources, rather than as data officially confirmed by law enforcement. It is emphasised that a notification of suspicion does not imply a proven guilt: the final decision must be made by the court.
