Prosecutors of the Obukhiv District Prosecutor's Office have reported suspicions against three residents of Kyiv region for document forgery, large-scale fraud, and legalization of property obtained through criminal means (Part 3 of Article 358, Part 4 of Article 358, Part 5 of Article 190, Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

According to the investigation, the suspects, together with other unidentified individuals, organized the production and use of a forged state act of ownership and a letter from the State Geocadastre. In December 2023, based on these documents, they registered ownership rights to a land plot of 7.27 hectares, which belongs to the water fund lands in the territory of the Khalevian village council of the Obukhiv district.

Subsequently, in February 2024, in order to legalize the illegally acquired property, the suspects entered into a purchase and sale agreement and transferred the plot to a controlled enterprise. The value of the plot was over 50 million UAH.

During the investigation, the damages were fully compensated – the land was returned to communal ownership.

The pre-trial investigation is being conducted by investigators of the Obukhiv District Police Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kyiv region with operational support from the Department of Strategic Investigations of the National Police of Ukraine, under the procedural guidance of the prosecutor's office.

Note: according to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime until their guilt is proven in a lawful manner and established by a guilty verdict of the court.
