The General Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine has sent four claims to the Kyiv Economic Court to cancel Kyiv City Council decisions, by which the Kyiv authorities allocated more than 386 hectares. On these parcels, among other things, lies the so-called Mezhyhirya residence 2.
As a result of the inspections, investigators established that for illegally seizing the capital's land they formed cooperatives specifically to obtain land for housing construction for free. However, these fictitious structures were not legally housing cooperatives, and therefore did not have the right to receive land for free. In addition, part of the plots is located in the zone of the National Museum of Architecture and Everyday Life of Ukraine and within the Zhukiv Island protected area, which are under state protection. Therefore, construction on these lands is prohibited.
For the first time, the existence and development of Mezhyhirya 2 were reported by the anti-corruption project “Our Money” (every Tuesday at 22: 00 on the ZIK channel). As journalists found out, a grand mansion, resembling the French Versailles, was built on lands rented by firms close to MP Yuriy Ivanyushchenko. In addition, part of the lands surrounded by a 5-meter fence was defined by law as common property. Despite the fact that the market price of the land is tens of millions of hryvnias, Kyiv City Council handed them over to private hands for 700 000 hryvnias.
The lands were sold in plots to various cooperatives back during Leonid Chernovetskyi's tenure. And although the next executive authority — represented by Oleksandr Popov — promised to cancel the illegal decisions, Koncha-Zaspa was unaffected. Moreover, in spring 2013, the Kyiv City Council transferred to Ivanyushchenko's firms for use for 49 years another 7 hectares of coastal strip.
