😀😀😀 The police officially confirmed the extradition of former Odesa City Council deputy Oleksandr Matvieiev from Romania to Ukraine — he has already been released on bail.
Matvieiev was detained in Romania on 3 September. He has now been handed over to Ukrainian law enforcement to face criminal charges.
According to the investigation, the former deputy was involved in the unlawful appropriation of municipal real estate in Odesa, the total value of which exceeds 11 million hryvnias.
Police said that while Matvieiev was a deputy and a member of the city council commission on communal property, he organized a criminal group composed of trusted associates. According to the investigation, members of the group forged documents, appropriated non-residential premises in central Odesa, converted them into apartments, and sold them.
From 2011 to 2019, in this manner, the investigation says three real estate properties and a land plot were unlawfully appropriated.
In 2024 Matvieiev was notified in absentia of suspicion for organizing fraud, forging documents, unauthorized construction, and legalization of illegally obtained assets. Since then he had been on the international wanted list.
