Estate worth $3,77 million, millions to relatives, and business in occupied territories: Judge Horbasenko at the center of a major scandal
While Pavlo Horbasenko dispenses justice at the Northern Commercial Court of Appeal, journalists have uncovered a number of dubious circumstances surrounding the assets and connections of his family.
📍An estate of 805 m² in Lebedivka — part of the real estate the judge inherited. Similar houses are valued at $3,77 million.
📍5,847 million UAH to his brother — Horbasenko declared the entire proceeds from the apartment sale as a loan to a relative. He later bought Tether cryptocurrency for 480 thousand UAH.
📍The judge’s father is linked to business in the temporarily occupied territories — Volodymyr Horbasenko is listed as a co-founder of two companies registered in occupied Yalta. After the annexation of Crimea he purchased an apartment there of 332,7 m². He is also listed in the Myrotvorets database.
📍The judge’s ex-wife, Kyiv City Council deputy Anna Svyrydenko, owns property in occupied Crimea, a Bovet watch estimated at $130 thousand, and declared a gift worth 3,3 million UAH.
Questions have also arisen about the judge’s integrity: as early as May 2024 the Public Integrity Council concluded he did not meet the criteria of integrity and professional ethics.
The question remains open: how does a judge, whose integrity has already been officially challenged, continue to administer justice amid such family wealth and ties to business in the occupation?
