The court seized Oleksiy Kuleba's apartment and parking space
On June 23, a court ordered the seizure of an apartment and a parking space belonging to Oleksiy Kuleba. The decision was issued as part of the relevant proceedings, the details of which are currently being clarified.
The seizure was ordered at the request of prosecutors from the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office. It will now be impossible to sell the property or use it as collateral.
According to the prosecutor’s office, Deputy Prime Minister for Recovery Kuleba uses this property and has the real ability to influence his sister to dispose of the property so that these assets cannot be confiscated in the future.
Recently, the SAP filed a lawsuit seeking to have assets worth nearly 5 million hryvnias—acquired by Oleksiy Kuleba through his sister—declared unjustified and forfeited to the state.
An analysis of the income and expenses of Kuleba and his family members showed that the family did not have sufficient funds to make such purchases, according to the Anti-Corruption Action Center.
Earlier, the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Prosecutor’s Office filed an indictment with the court against three investigators from one of the departments of the Nikopol District Police Department for abuse of authority. They unlawfully detained and tortured two citizens.
The State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine suspended the management of the Odesa Detention Center from their duties pending an internal investigation following the online release of a video showing unlawful actions against a detainee. According to the non-governmental organization “Non-Stop Ukraine,” the detention center director, together with investigative officer Serhiy Y., organized a money-extortion scheme under which every newly arrived inmate had to pay between $2 and $15,000, and those who refused were subjected to abuse by inmates in the facility.
