According to NABU, People’s Deputy from the Opposition Platform for Life Dmitry Isaenko was going to get a land plot allocated for the arrangement of a recreation area at a price half that of its real value.
On Friday, March 10, detectives and prosecutors reported suspicions to the current People’s Deputy from the Opposition Platform for Life of Ukraine Dmitry Isaenko in connection with his attempt to pull off a corruption scheme to seize a land plot in Kiev with an area of 8 hectares and a value of more than 500 million hryvnias. This was announced by the director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine Semyon Krivonos.
“The essence of the scheme: the organizers of the transaction through an auction, with the participation of a company controlled by them, created the conditions for the withdrawal, contrary to the law, from state ownership of a land plot in Kiev with an area of 8 hectares and a total value of more than 500 million hryvnia,” Krivonos explained.
Suspicion was also announced to the ex-deputy head of the apparatus of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and the former director of the State Enterprise “Derzhbudkombinat” for assisting Isaenko.
According to the head of the NABU, the current development plan for the capital of Ukraine provided for the development of a park and a recreation area in the said section. However, Isaenko intended to build a residential complex on this site, taking possession of the land at a price almost half its real value.
Semyon Krivonos noted that NABU and SAP prevented the people’s deputy’s plans and seized the land. NABU also published a video recording Isaenko’s conversations with the former deputy chief of staff of the Verkhovna Rada, as well as the director of the State Prosecutor’s Office and his deputy.
