According to the publication Dumskaya, Ihor Nanovsky, the mayor of Belgorod-Dnistrovskyi, who is suspected of bribery, has unexpectedly returned to his post. A source in the mayor's office reported that Judge Yulia Feduleeva of the Kyivsky District Court of Odesa rejected the prosecutor's office's request to extend the mayor's suspension for another two months, and then rescinded her own order to remove him. Thus, Ihor Nanovsky, the mayor of Belgorod-Dnistrovskyi, has returned to his post. The mayor has scheduled a city council session for January 30. According to Dumskaya, at the session, he plans to replace Volodymyr Menzelintsev, the secretary of the municipal assembly, who served as acting mayor during Nanovskyi's forced leave and who had raised the issue of the mayor's early resignation with the deputies. Oleksandr Morozov, a member of parliament from the "Front Zmin" party, may become the new secretary.
Also, according to a report from the press service of the Odessa regional prosecutor's office, on Monday, January 26, Anatoliy Kalinchuk, deputy chairman of the Kyiv district administration of Odessa, was detained while accepting a bribe.
The official received funds from a citizen for a permit to locate a retail facility. Law enforcement is currently conducting urgent investigative actions. The official is charged under Part 3 of Article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (receiving an unlawful benefit).
It was previously reported that three Odesa police officers were detained while attempting to accept a bribe of 52,000 hryvnias. The officers were reportedly assigned to the same district police station in Odesa. Law enforcement officers promised to release a Ukrainian citizen, who was accused of drug possession, for a reward of 52,000 hryvnias.
