The National Anti-Cornption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office have sent to court the case materials of the “Clean City” land-grab in Kyiv, in which a number of Kyiv City State Administration officials, Kyiv City Council deputies, and businessman Denys Komarnytsky are implicated, whom the investigation regards as the organizer of the scheme.
The first searches in the NABU and SAP case were conducted in early February 2025 of the year at former Kyiv city council deputy businessman Denys Komarnytsky. As later found out, he mysteriously ended up in Austria, although he officially did not cross Ukraine's border.
According to the investigation, it was Komarnytsky who kept under control all procedures for Kyiv authorities to approve land ownership rights. For 2023-2024 years he and a group of officials planned to seize land in Kyiv worth over 70 million hryvnias.
To do this, they used the so-called “toilet scheme” – they selected commercially promising land plots and registered ownership of buildings on controlled persons that were allegedly built on them. Later they submitted to the city council applications for ownership rights to the specified land plots for servicing the aforementioned buildings. This scheme allowed avoiding auctions, which facilitated the seizure of valuable lands.
In addition to Komarnytsky, ten more people were part of the criminal group:
Deputy head of the Kyiv City Administration Petro Olenych;
Head of the permanent Kyiv City Council commission on architecture, urban planning, and land relations Mykhailo Terentyev;
Kyiv City Council deputy and member of the land commission Olena Marchenko;
First deputy director of the State Enterprise “Special Housing Fund” Leonov Y.P. and his deputy, as well as four other people.
It is also known that Denys Komarnytsky personally had significant influence on processes inside the Kyiv City Council and the Kyiv City State Administration, actions of officials, appointments to high posts of loyal individuals, dismissals of subordinate officers, allocation of budget funds in the interests of the criminal organization, and so on.
