Corruption Hydra: MP Tetyana Plachkova Opened “Black Spots” for Collecting Bribes for DABI Permits in Epicenters
A number of branches of firms connected to the shadow leadership of DABI represented by Tetyana Plachkova have opened in Odesa. She collects a slush fund for the State Architectural and Construction Inspectorate through such front firms across the country.
In recent months of the old DABI system’s operation, the agency’s shadow leadership decided to consolidate its position and the organizer of the “tax collection,” Tetyana Plachkova, bought a winnable spot on the parliamentary list for the Opposition Platform — For Life.
At the same time, they began opening new points for collecting the “tax” for DABI construction permits. Interestingly, the firms’ offices were located in Epicenters.
We managed to compile a dossier on DABI’s shadow accountant after she was forced to provide part of the data to the Central Election Commission to register as a candidate.
Plachkova Tetyana Mykhailivna was born 5 January 1983. She resides in Kyiv, has no convictions, and took electoral list position No. 31.
Her office is registered at Henuyezka St., bldg. 24, lit. B, office 521.
She is linked to several firms – LLC “Legal Company K and Case” and LLC “Odesa BTI.” The latter opened an office in an Epicenter, although likely, as the shadow mafia prefers, the office will soon move.
There is another firm – LLC “Architecture and Design Studio Apelsyn.” Through it the city DABI earns money, and Plachkova profits after them. If another firm developed the documents, formalizing everything will be more difficult.
This scheme was described by city council deputy Olha Kvasnytska. By ordering project documentation from this studio, the procedure for obtaining a construction permit is maximally simplified. Then similar “offices” perform the project expertise. Formally everything complies with state building codes, but in fact an object is erected that violates a significant number of such codes.
Kvasnytska alleges that DABI head Avdiiev accepts such an object into operation, issuing a certificate of readiness while ignoring the aforementioned violations.
“Based on the composition of the projects they (Apelsyn, ed.) developed, their conflict-proneness and public negativity, one can conclude that in Odesa the Apelsyn studios can do anything and bear no responsibility for it,” Kvasnytska states in her complaint, even naming the object addresses: Lvivska St., 3, Uspenskyi Lane, 11, Odariia St., 1, where certificates and permits were issued with all kinds of violations.
The third scheme consists of obstructing Odesa residents who ordered projects from independent organizations. Its essence is that individuals and legal entities, having received urban development permits or a construction passport, ordered a project and passed a full expertise, ultimately cannot register a declaration in the DABI system.
Recall that the media reported a scandal that representatives of Kyiv’s “grey cardinal” Vadym Stolar, as well as people associated with DABI’s corruption hydra, received 11 winnable spots on this party’s lists. Among them is the Odesa resident who manages the tax collection nationwide, Tetyana Plachkova. She also has rather close ties with the leadership of Odesa DABI, and the head of the agency, Oleksandr Avdiiev, is called her appointee.
The first to write about the quota of Kyiv’s “grey cardinal” Vadym Stolar was journalist Oleksandr Dubinskyi. He explained that 11 people out of 35 on the Opposition Platform — For Life list represent him. No. 31 was given to Tetyana Plachkova.
The system is built not only on the principle that nothing can be constructed without the “tax,” but also on the fact that if the developer does not pay, obstacles are placed in their way: pocket civic activists start filing complaints against them, and as a result they are swamped with inspections and their constructions are stopped.
We know of at least several dozen such appeals from the civic organizations “Stop Lawlessness” and “Common Goal.” All letters demanding inspections concern a narrow circle of developers, including in Odesa region, who dared not to pay bribes. Because of appeals from fake civic activists, inspections are sent to these addresses and constructions are stopped without any grounds. As a result, Odesa residents become the victims, since they cannot receive their housing on time.
