In Kyiv, an official was informed of the suspicion of an attempt to take over part of a children's health camp in Puscha-Vodytsia with an area of 4 hectares and a cost of UAH 27 million.
They wanted to build and sell 34 separate residential cottages on this site, the press service of the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office reports on Facebook.
The investigation was conducted by juvenile prosecutors of the Obolon District Prosecutor's Office of Kyiv.
The official used the land lease agreement concluded with the Kyiv City Council back in 2007 to implement the criminal intent. The society received the use of this plot for the reconstruction and operation of the property complex of the children's health camp, which is located on it.
However, the terms of the contract were violated, because the entrepreneur ordered project documentation, received permits and began construction on this territory of the club town.
The construction of these cottages and their commissioning would also allow the participants of the scheme to take possession of the specified plot of land. However, thanks to the intervention of the prosecutor's office, the criminal intent was not realized.
"At the request of the prosecutor's office, the unfinished real estate objects and the specified land plot were handed over to the ATMA department, and the specified objects were seized," the press service noted.
The actions of the official are qualified under Part 2 of Art. 15 h. 4 st. 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (completed attempt to seize someone else's property by deception (fraud), committed on a particularly large scale, according to a prior conspiracy by a group of persons).
Currently, prosecutors are identifying other persons involved in the crime in order to bring them to justice.
