The mother of Kyiv Commercial Court judge Seryi Stasyuk explained to Slidstvo.Info where she gets funds to buy an apartment. In 2019 year Valentina Stasyuk became the owner of a business-class apartment with an area of 172,7 square meters in central Kyiv and two parking spaces. This property, according to advertisements from that period, could have cost the woman nearly 8 million hryvnias.
However, as Slidstvo.Info found out, she did not have funds for such a purchase: her total income from 1998 to 2019 years amounted to just over 2 million hryvnias. So the journalist asked the woman where the money for the apartment came from:
Journalist: I see that in 2019 year you became the owner of an apartment in the Pechersky district, 172,7 square meters. Can you recall how much you paid for it?
Valentina Stasyuk: I can’t right now.
Journalist: Do you remember that you bought it?
Valentina Stasyuk: Of course, I remember. I have, what I can buy with. My husband and I. Look at who his father is. We work, we have money. And don’t worry about this.
We looked up «whose father is his» for you. Vasyl Stasyuk is a professor of the Department of Military Psychology at the National University of Defense of Ukraine. According to documents that Slidstvo.Info obtained from sources in the State Tax Service, the combined income for 1998-2019 years of the mother-accountant and the father-professor would not have been enough for such a purchase. In that time they together earned almost seven million hryvnias.
Recall that in August NABU and SAP disclosed a criminal organization led by former MP Maksym Mykytas and current MP Vadym Stolar. According to law enforcement, it was involved in raiding companies with valuable assets.
One of the firms the organizers allegedly sought to take over was «Philosophy of Development», which was to be used to seize land and the building of the former Arsenal plant.
According to the investigation, to help gain control over this company, judge of the Commercial Court Serhiy Stasyuk issued a ruling removing the then director of the company. As described in NABU’s released tapes, Stasyuk was allegedly to be paid 10 thousand of an unnamed currency.
