⚡️ The Supreme Court opened the way to reviewing the seizure of 139 hectares of the "Stolichny" market, because of which the enterprise was unable to obtain a loan of 110 million UAH
As "Sudebno-Yuridicheskaya Gazeta" reports, the seizure has been in effect since 2021, although SAP prosecutor Rostyslav Batih confirmed in writing that these plots are not related to the criminal proceeding concerning the other 18 hectares.
According to the defense, in April 2026 the bank refused to finance the market's construction of new trading pavilions precisely because of the land seizure.
At the same time, the prosecutor not only opposed the appeal of the seizure but also used the mere fact of filing an appeal as an argument to increase the market director's bail from 5 to almost 20 million UAH. Batih called the appeal to the court a "realization of the risk of committing another criminal offense." The court rejected the request to increase the bail.
On 15 October the Supreme Court also rejected the prosecution's arguments about missed appeal deadlines, annulled the ruling of the VACs Appeals Chamber, and sent the case back for a new review.
