Dereka Lands: Ministry of Justice will check registration of rights to plots held by DRUZHBA INVEST and INGVAR PLUS
In the course of our human rights work, we sent an appeal to the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine with a complaint regarding the legality of acquisition and state registration of lease, sublease, emphyteusis, and ownership rights to land plots associated with FH “DRUZHBA INVEST” and LLC “INGVAR PLUS.”
The basis for the appeal to #МінЮст were circumstances we uncovered of illegal alienation of agricultural land from farming enterprises and owners of land shares, and the subsequent registration of rights to those plots in favor of the aforementioned companies. ❗️ Thus, the founders and ultimate beneficial owners of these companies are Hennadiy #Дерека and his son Vitaliy Dereka, who orchestrated a scheme to illegally alienate agricultural land from farming enterprises and owners of land shares and then register rights to such plots in favor of companies connected to the family.
As a result of reviewing our appeal, the Ministry of Justice issued two orders to carry out desk audits of state registrars.
🔹 The first audit concerns the state registrar of the Solonytsivka settlement council of Kharkiv Raion, Kharkiv region, Olena #Іващенко. The Ministry of Justice tasked inspecting the registration actions on three applications in the State Register of Real Property Rights.
🔹 The second audit concerns the state registrar of the Chuhuiv City Council of Kharkiv region, Olha #Кольцової. One registration action was identified as the basis for the audit.
What does this mean in practice? The Ministry of Justice has launched control procedures regarding specific registration actions following our complaint. This is an important step in examining the circumstances of registration of land rights, but the mere fact of initiating desk audits does not yet indicate that violations have been established.
📌 It is fundamentally important for us to determine whether the legal requirements were followed during registration of the relevant rights, which documents served as the basis for entering information into the register, and whether the circumstances described in our complaint were properly verified.
That is why we continue to monitor the progress of the issues raised, analyze decisions of the competent authorities, and seek proper verification of the circumstances of land rights registration. We will follow the results of the appointed audits and inform about further developments.
