A new suspicion for former judge Bohdan Lviv — for legalizing property worth 26 million hryvnias
NABU and SAP report that, in addition to the former head of the Commercial Cassation Court within the Supreme Court himself, his former assistant and her mother were also notified of suspicion.
Law enforcement did not name the suspect, but published details point to Bohdan Lviv.
According to the investigation, in 2021–2022 he acquired a house with a plot of land, two apartment-flats, and four plots of land with a total value of 26 million hryvnias.
“In order to conceal the illegal origin of the funds and the true owner of the assets, he involved his subordinate, who actually performed the duties of his secretary, in the criminal scheme. The illegally obtained property was officially registered in her mother’s name, which allowed masking the traces of the crime and legalizing the assets,” NABU reports.
Recall that Lviv already faces another suspicion — complicity in the appropriation of the Ukrainian section of the Samara–Western Direction oil products pipeline, which belonged to the state represented by the State Property Fund. Damages are estimated at 1,4 billion UAH.
Additionally, back in September 2022, “Skhemy” published an investigation that presented numerous pieces of evidence from a number of sources and databases, including public ones, that the then head of the Commercial Cassation Court within the Supreme Court, Bohdan Lviv, is a citizen of the Russian Federation. He obtained citizenship in Moscow in 1999, by which time he was already serving as a judge in Ukraine. And in 2012 he renewed his Russian passport after reaching the age of 45. Bohdan Lviv publicly denied this.
