🧐 The figure in the “Carthage” case, Tsenov, lives with his family in a mansion with a pool outside Kyiv worth more than $400 thousand, - media
The suspect in the “Carthage” case, First Deputy Head of the Department of Special Investigations of the National Police Volodymyr Tsenov (Prais), lives with his family in a house with a pool and a gym in the village of Hatne outside Kyiv. The property was purchased by his father in 2022.
This is stated in the investigation
hromadske.
According to the outlet, on 25 October 2022 the year, the colonel’s father, Mykola Tsenov, a former high-ranking Interior Ministry official, bought a house of 240 m² and a plot of 15 sotkas. He paid 7 million 320 thousand UAH in total, or about 200 thousand dollars. Three and a half months after the deal, Volodymyr Tsenov moved into the house with his family, which, according to hromadske, follows from his declaration.
The house has five living rooms, four bathrooms, a kitchen-living room, a walk-in closet, a gym, and a private pool.
Architect Oleh Hrechukh told hromadske that the real market value of such a house at the end of 2022 would have to be at least twice the amount of the deal:
"I think it’s more than 400 thousand dollars. It could be 500–600 thousand dollars depending on what utilities are installed."
In May 2023 Mykola Tsenov additionally bought an adjacent plot of six and a half sotkas. He paid 40 thousand dollars for it, or about 1,5 million UAH. A completed building later appeared there.
Journalists showed photos of that object to Hrechukh. According to him, the plot contains a technical structure and, likely, an underground shelter. The expert estimated it:
"That’s somewhere from a hundred thousand dollars."
In his estimate, the value of the entire property complex could now be from 750 to 800 thousand dollars.
Reporters began investigating the family’s real estate before Volodymyr Tsenov was indicted. In a written response to the inquiry he explained his parents’ financial capabilities:
"At various times my parents sold real estate objects they owned, and these transactions additionally formed the family budget. The combination of these income sources made it possible to freely finance the purchase of the objects mentioned in your inquiry."
However, hromadske writes that in more than ten years of electronic registers, neither Volodymyr Tsenov’s father nor mother sold any property.
