Case of the seizure of the so-called "Viktor Medvedchuk's pipeline" Bohdan Lviv is suspected of complicity in the appropriation of the Ukrainian part of the main oil pipeline "Samara – Western Direction", which belongs to the State Property Fund of Ukraine.
The "Samara-Western Direction" oil product pipeline was built during the Soviet era and, after Ukraine's declaration of independence, was supposed to become state property based on succession. At the same time, the subsidiary of the Russian AK "Transnefteprodukt" did not transfer the specified pipeline to Ukraine's ownership.
Since 2017, NABU and SAP have been investigating the facts of illegal seizure of the pipeline. Detectives and prosecutors managed to collect materials for seizure, and later they became the basis of the State Property Fund's lawsuit, which eventually allowed the property to be returned to the state.
The High Anti-Corruption Court reduced the bail amount from over UAH 300 million to UAH 20 million for Bohdan Lviv, former head of the Commercial Cassation Court within the Supreme Court, who is a suspect in the case of the seizure of the so-called "Viktor Medvedchuk's pipeline".
