🚨 MAFIA or the judicial conveyor in Mykolaiv region: The HRC dismisses two judges and sends one judge to “training,” who are accused of raiding state land
7 October 2026 year The Third Chamber of the HRC issued a decision that reduced the judge staff of the Novoodeske District Court of Mykolaiv region fourfold.
To judges VALERIYA BARANKEVYCH and SERHIY SERHIYENKO a disciplinary sanction in the form of a recommendation to dismiss the judge from office was applied, and VASYL KICHULU was sent to training.

Of the court’s four judges, one remains working.
☝️Why we consider the court’s work an organized gang
⚖️According to the case materials, a clear, template scheme operated in the court for years to legalize the unlawful appropriation of real estate and agricultural lands that should have gone to the state or communities as bona vacantia (after the owners’ deaths):
💸 Sham lawsuits and “their” lawyers: 100% of similar lawsuits to declare sale-purchase agreements valid based on IOUs were granted “to the letter.” The plaintiffs’ interests (wealthy farmers and LLC founders) were always represented by two specific lawyers.
⏱️ Cosmic speed of issuing decisions: Cases that usually take months these judges stamped out in 2 weeks – 1 month.
🤫 Absolute secrecy: None of the parties appeared at hearings, no audio recording of proceedings was made, and the “defendants” (often improperly involved or standing in for deceased owners) simply filed statements acknowledging the claim.
📉 Budget losses: The schemes allowed interested private persons to obtain hectares of land bypassing legal procedures, expert valuations, and without paying any taxes or fees.
None of these dubious rulings (there are about 50 specific court cases in the file!) for some reason was ever appealed. Local authorities and the prosecutor’s office simply watched silently as property was stripped from communities’ ownership.
The scale and systematic nature of the discovered facts are striking.

‼️We draw the attention of the State Bureau of Investigation that disciplinary responsibility for such actions is insufficient, since the state lost a lot of property because of the criminal actions of the judicial gang.
P.S. It is unclear what favors members of the HRC granted to spare one of the judges and limit themselves to sending him to training instead of the obvious dismissal.
