The investigation into the mayor of Tulchyn, who committed land fraud worth UAH 3 million, has been completed: it was established that the official knew for certain that he was acting in violation of the law, but provided instructions to conceal the fraud. The mayor of Tulchyn faces up to 6 years in prison.

This was reported by the press service of the State Bureau of Investigation, according to UNN.

Details

SBI officers have completed the pre-trial investigation against Tulchyn Mayor.

It was established that the official signed documents for the lease of 70 hectares of the territorial community's land for a sugar factory without the relevant decision of the executive committee and the relevant commission.

For the use of municipally owned land, the lessee must pay 3% of the normative value to the budget.

The official and the businessman artificially "painted" the value of the land at UAH 2 million. As it turned out, the valuation of the land plot exceeded the value specified in the contract by 51 times, and the sugar plant's management did not pay UAH 2 million 803 thousand for the lease.

The investigation alleges that the mayor knew for certain that he was acting in violation of the law, but gave instructions to his subordinates that could have concealed the transaction.

Until 2023, the case was investigated by the National Police, then transferred to the SBI, and in January 2024, the official was notified of suspicion.

This is an abuse of office that resulted in grave consequences (Part 2 of Article 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The sanction of the article provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for up to 6 years.
