The Supreme Commercial Court overturned court decisions challenging the illegal transfer of 75 hectares of land by the Kyiv City Council for development. This land is known as Mezhyhirya-2. This information is posted on the Prosecutor General's Office website.
Prosecutor General's Office investigators are reportedly challenging in court an unlawful Kyiv City State Administration decision that, in 2007, transferred nearly 75 hectares of land in Kyiv's Holosiivskyi district to 20 cooperatives for development. The land was valued at 126 million hryvnias.
The courts of first and second instance upheld the Prosecutor General's Office's claims. However, on July 27, 2016, the Supreme Commercial Court overturned all previous court decisions and granted permission for the cooperatives to file cassation appeals. According to representatives of the Prosecutor General's Office, the Supreme Commercial Court of Ukraine demonstrated "unprecedented efficiency" by hearing the case just two weeks after its previous decision, on August 9, 2016. During the new trial, the prosecutor petitioned to disqualify the judges, but the court ruled that the cooperatives' claims were justified and remanded the Mezhyhirya-2 land case for a new investigation.
As a reminder, 75 hectares of land in the Holosiivskyi district are located on Zhukov Island. This area is located in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv. During the controversial sessions of the Kyiv City Council in 2007, the Kyiv City Council reduced the area of the reserve by nine times and awarded 35 hectares of land to twenty cooperatives. One of these is AV-Medgroup LLC, associated with former Party of Regions member Oleksandr Prognimak. The cooperatives that received the land free of charge include individuals such as Dmitry Firtash and Alexander Bogatyrev (son of Raisa Bogatyreva).
