Former senior official of Zakarpattia Customs, Mykhailo Svyda, found himself at the center of a scandal over the construction of a large residential complex, Radiisheva, in Uzhhorod. After retiring, he suddenly became a developer, built the housing complex and sold apartments there. In 2022-2025 years he received more than 37 million for them, of which taxes were paid — about 7,4 million — only after the investigation began, and for this the proceedings were closed.
This is reported by the publication Telegrap h.
The development is connected with companies affiliated with his wife and son. The story also involves his daughter-in-law — judge Larysa Kurakh.
The 69-year-old retiree still has 12 objects of real estate. Among them:
Mykhailo Svyda’s wife — Marta, owns nine real estate objects. The family also has a car — a Land Rover Range Rover 2019 year (market price approximately $50 thousand).
Their son, Oleksandr Svyda, has the largest list of assets. He owns 19 real estate objects and several companies, including a construction company.
His wife, Larysa Kurakh, Mykhailo Svyda’s daughter-in-law, is a judge of the Mukachevo City and District Court. Her declaration contains interesting data — her husband uses a Range Rover Sport 2025 year rent-free (priced around $150 thousand), and the car is registered to LLC "Avtoban". The owner is the daughter of the couple, Nikole.
The judge drives a Range Rover 2019 year, owned by LLC "Budavtodor". It is registered to Nikole and the judge’s mother Olga Kurakh.
What the judge’s declaration failed to reveal
The Svyda and Kurakh families are also connected to another company — "Nikole+". Oleksandr was among the founders, contributed real estate to the charter capital, and received a stake worth 10 million UAH. The property rights of Judge Kurakh were not indicated in her declaration — NAPC uncovered a violation. But according to the judge’s explanations, she did not know about her husband’s property rights and could not check them by the taxpayer’s ID number.
