Bribery on the land of the Armed Forces and a police investigation: NABU handed down suspicions in the case involving the chief cop of Ternopil region
#нампишуть, that detectives #НАБУ and prosecutors #САП uncovered a large-scale corruption scheme, exposing the former head of the Western Regional Directorate of the Military Law Enforcement Service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, M. Bobyk, and Ternopil developer Y. Kurylo.
🔻The story began back in the spring of 2021, when an official who simultaneously managed the military town in Lviv demanded that the developer hand over 2,2 million U.S. dollars for permission to build an apartment building on defense land.
The financial appetite of the suspects was clearly divided. ❗️The lion’s share of 1,5 million dollars was intended for the head of the Military Law Enforcement Service personally, who insisted on the necessity of sharing with government officials to conclude a joint activity agreement. The remaining 700 thousand dollars were planned to be distributed among accomplices, including former lawyer I. Hroda and another businessman.
The latter took on the coordination of the documentation and the legal drafting of the deal, but it was Kurylo’s testimony that later exposed his role in the process. From March 2021 to July 2023, law enforcement documented the actual handover of 2 million U.S. dollars in cash.
🤷♂️This large-scale case is closely intertwined with the activities of the head of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Ternopil region, S. #Зюбаненко. According to sources, Y. Kurylo acted as the trusted associate of the region’s top policeman. When Hroda’s relatives tried to involve other developers in the construction of plots, forceful pressure was applied against them. Using falsified materials, the official initiated criminal prosecution of the lawyer and organized his forced mobilization.
Investigative actions have already reached the leadership level of the regional police. Senior investigator of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Ternopil region M. Matsyshyn confirmed searches at her residence, noting that similar procedural measures took place at several of her colleagues’ homes. Participants in the scheme have now been notified of suspicions, and NABU is preparing procedural decisions regarding Serhiy Zyubanenko himself, against whom law enforcement has already obtained incriminating testimony and properly documented his involvement.
