The court awarded the wife of a Yanukovych official land in Obolon for the construction of a business center.

The Supreme Commercial Court refused to invalidate and terminate the investment agreement between Kyiv-Art LLC and the Kyiv City Council for the construction of a parking garage and a shopping and office center at 6 Obolonskyi Avenue in Kyiv, according to Nashi Groshi.

The lawsuit was filed by the Kyiv Prosecutor's Office last year. The reason given was Kyiv-Art's lack of land user status. It also failed to pay any funds to the city budget. Furthermore, the prosecutor's office stated that Kyiv would not receive ownership of any portion of the completed facility, and that no compensation payments were being made to the budget.

Courts at all three levels rejected the prosecutor's claim. According to the court, the company received a 0,51-hectare plot of land, and Kyivtransparkservice pays taxes on it. Upon completion of construction, ownership will be transferred to Kyiv-Art, and the utility infrastructure will be transferred to the city free of charge.

It is noted that no violations have been identified to date, although they may arise in the future. The court also found the investment agreement itself to be in compliance with the law.

This agreement was signed on June 11, 2014, between the Kyiv City State Administration's Department of Economy and Investments (the organizer), Kyivtransparkservice (the client), and Kyiv-Art LLC (the investor). According to the agreement, the construction cost is UAH 12,5 million, with 6% of this amount (UAH 750) to be paid to the Department of Economy.

It's also worth noting that the founders of Kyiv-Art LLC are the British company Westerton Commerce LLP and Maryna Pelykh. The latter is the wife of Andriy Kravets, the former head of the State Property Management Department under Viktor Yanukovych. Pelykh has acquired a number of land plots and houses in Kyiv in recent years.

In turn, the firm "Westerton Commerce LLP" is formed for a number of Seychelles offshore companies: "AFK Business Management LTD" and "Lancaster Management Association LTD".
