Former Head of the Commercial Court of Cassation Bohdan Lvov has been notified of a new charge
The Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) have notified Bohdan Lvov, the former head of the Commercial Cassation Court within the Supreme Court, that he is suspected of laundering property obtained through criminal means. His former assistant and her mother have also been named as suspects in this case.
According to the investigation, in 2021–2022, the judge acquired a residential house with a land plot, two apartments, and four land plots with a total value of approximately 26 million hryvnias. All of these assets were officially registered in the name of his subordinate’s mother. Lvov and the assistant’s mother are charged under Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, while the assistant herself is charged with aiding and abetting a crime.
Earlier, Lvov was dismissed from the Supreme Court after the Security Service of Ukraine confirmed that he held Russian citizenship. In addition, the former official is a defendant in a case involving aiding and abetting the misappropriation of the Ukrainian section of the “Samara–Western Direction” main oil pipeline.
