The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office appealed the decision of the High Anti-Corruption Court regarding the property of tax official Alla Ryabova: the court confiscated the Kyiv apartment but left two vehicles to the family — a Toyota C-HR Hybrid worth about 1,47 million UAH and a Range Rover Velar, the purchase of which effectively cost more than 1,16 million UAH.
As media reports, SAP's appeal concerns primarily the premium Range Rover, which is formally registered to Ryabova's father — Mykhailo Ostapets. At the same time, the declaration of free use of the car was indicated for the official herself, her husband Ruslan, and daughter Diana. Thus, the legal owner of the vehicle is stated as Ryabova's father, while the ability to use it was declared by several members of her closest family. This issue is significant for assessing the source of funds and actual use of the asset within the court dispute. The VAKS (Specialized Anti-Corruption Court) in the first instance did not support the demand for confiscation of the Range Rover. The court agreed with the position that Mykhailo Ostapets had sufficient financial means to purchase the vehicle, in particular due to long-term activity in farming. SAP did not agree with this conclusion and decided to appeal it. The prosecution insists on reconsidering the court's assessment of the circumstances related to the expensive car, which is owned by the official's father but was declared available for Ryabova and her family. Separately, the first-instance court ruled to confiscate Ryabova's Kyiv apartment. Thus, in the context of considering the issue of unjustified assets, the court recognized grounds for seizure of the property but did not apply a similar measure to the two family cars. The value of the Toyota C-HR Hybrid, according to the case data, is about 1,47 million UAH. Regarding the Range Rover Velar, it was noted that its purchase actually cost more than 1,16 million UAH. At the same time, the specific manner in which the second car was documented became one of the key circumstances for the subsequent appeal. The further progress of the case will depend on the position of the appellate instance regarding the conclusions of the VAKS about the father’s financial capacity. The court must review the parties' arguments and assess whether the provided circumstances were sufficient to keep the Range Rover within the family’s ownership.
An appeal does not automatically mean confiscation of the car. The final decision on the Range Rover Velar must be made by the appellate instance after considering the arguments of SAP and other participants in the proceedings.
