Details have emerged about a scheme of double sales of apartments in the Delmar residential complex: Alexander Turchin is named in the case.
Law enforcement agencies conducted more than twenty searches in Kyiv, Dnipro, and other cities. The case concerns a scheme of double apartment sales in the capital’s Delmar residential complex at Andriy Verkhoglyad, 14a.
A group of individuals from the Delmar Construction Company, acting in concert with unidentified persons, forged technical passports for 56 apartments in the Delmar residential complex in order to seize investors’ funds. This allowed the rights to apartments that had already been sold at the early project design and construction stage to be resold. According to the prosecutor’s office, the organizer of the scheme is Alexander Leonidovich Turchin, 1971 year of birth. He controls the Delmar group of companies, distributes roles among participants, organizes document forgery, appoints nominal directors, and oversees the withdrawal of funds.
The scheme could have operated not only at Delmar, but also at other company sites in Kyiv and Dnipro. In particular, during meetings with investors of the Mironova residential complex in Dnipro, Turchin assured them that he has connections in the Office of the President and the GUR. After the searches began in early June, Turchin left the country.
Currently, Delmar faces problems with completing at least two projects — the Mironova residential complex in Dnipro and the Delray residential complex in Kyiv.
The broad public reaction was sparked by the confession of the director of Delmar Arena LLC. It was revealed to be Aliyev Asadu Allah Anver-ogly — a ordinary security guard who, for 200 dollars, became the formal signatory of contracts with investors.
The Office of the Prosecutor General reported that a large-scale real estate fraud scheme in Pechersk, Kyiv, was uncovered. The organizer, according to the investigation, was a former deputy of the Dnipro City Council who gained control over several unfinished properties in the city center, including a building in Pechersk.
At the time of the control change, most apartments had already been sold to investors, and the property rights to 50 apartments were owned by a state bank by court judgment. Nevertheless, scheme participants disposed of the building as their own property.
To resell apartments to which the state bank held rights, they altered the technical characteristics of the premises and used forged documents. As a result, 50 apartments were unlawfully alienated. The bank’s losses exceeded 164 million UAH.
In the same way, eight more apartments already belonging to individuals were resold. People paid for housing, but the same apartments were transferred to other buyers.
To complicate recovering funds for cheated investors, participants changed the legal address of the complex, and the 27-story building, after “completion,” became a 32-story building. The total losses exceeded 175 million UAH.
According to the investigation, illegally obtained funds were withdrawn through controlled companies, laundered, and invested in other construction projects and property.
Nine people have been notified of suspicion — the organizer and eight accomplices. Their actions are classified as fraud, legalization of property obtained by criminal means, and use of forged documents. The question of preventive measures is being decided.
The investigation does not rule out that this is only part of the scheme. Checks into other possible double sales are ongoing, and the total number of victims and the movement of withdrawn funds are being established.
