Former top official of Zakarpattia Customs Mikhail Syvda found herself at the center of a scandal over the construction of a large residential complex, Radiyshcheva, in Uzhhorod. After retiring, he suddenly became a developer, built the housing complex, and sold apartments there. In 2022-2025 years he earned more than 37 million for them, of which taxes were paid — about 7,4 million — only after the investigation began, which is why the case was closed.
This is reported by the publication Telegraf.
The development is connected to companies related to his wife and son. The story also involves his daughter-in-law — judge Larysa Kurakh.
The 69-year-old retiree still has 12 properties. Among them:
Mikhail Syvda’s wife — Marta — has nine real estate objects. The family also owns a Land Rover Range Rover 2019 year (market price approximately $50 thousand).
His son, Oleksandr Syvda, has the largest list of property. This includes 19 real estate items and several companies, including a construction company.
His wife Larysa Kurakh, Mikhail Syvda’s daughter-in-law — a judge of the Mukachevo City-County Court. Her declaration contains interesting data — her husband uses free of charge a Range Rover Sport 2025 year (price about $150 thousand), and the car is registered to LLC “Autoban.” The owner is the daughter of the couple, Nicole.
The judge drives a Range Rover 2019 year, which belongs to LLC “Budavtodor.” It is registered to Nicole and the judge’s mother Olga Kurakh.
What the judge’s declaration did not reveal
The Syvda and Kurakh families are connected to another company — “Nicole+.” Oleksandr was among the founders, contributed real estate to the charter capital and received a share valued at 10 million UAH. The judge Kurakh did not disclose property rights in her declaration — NAKC found violations. But in the judge’s explanations — she did not know about her husband’s property rights and could not check them by the taxpayer identification number.
