In Kyiv, a man will stand trial for fraud involving the apartment of prominent Ukrainian surgeon Oleksandr Shalimov. Prosecutors from the Obolonskyi District Prosecutor’s Office of Kyiv have submitted to the court an indictment against a man accused of fraudulently taking possession of the apartment where the renowned doctor lived and where his relatives later lived

According to the investigation, the apartment in Obolon was allocated to the academician at one time by the Mayor of Kyiv. After the surgeon’s death, his wife lived there, and after her death, a female relative of the woman lived there, but they never formalized ownership of the property.

Taking advantage of this situation, members of the fraudulent scheme forged documents according to which the accused had allegedly invested money in the apartment during its construction as early as 2005. On the basis of these documents and information that ownership of the apartment was not registered to anyone, in the summer of 2024 the accused registered ownership of the property through a private notary. The very next day, he sold the apartment, and some time later the new owner resold the property to a legal entity

According to an expert appraisal, the value of the apartment, which was supposed to become municipal property after the death of the doctor and his wife, amounts to more than UAH 4.8 million. The apartment has currently been seized.

The actions of the accused, who registered ownership of the apartment in his own name and immediately sold it, have been classified as document forgery, fraud on an especially large scale, and legalization of property obtained through criminal means
