Under the supervision of the Odesa Regional Prosecutor's Office, charges have been brought against the founder and director of a construction company who allegedly used forged official documents to illegally acquire a land plot (Part 2 of Article 28, Parts 3 and 4 of Article 358, Part 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

According to the investigation, the suspects organized an illegal scheme to seize a 1-hectare land plot belonging to the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, represented by Odesa State Environmental University.

To implement their criminal plan, they used counterfeit documents, submitted false information to registries, forged technical documentation, and involved accomplices.

As a result of these actions, the suspects unlawfully acquired land on Muscatna Street (formerly Zoi Kosmodemyanska) in Odesa, which they intended to sell for profit.

The state suffered damages estimated at over 19 million hryvnias due to these illegal acts.

It should be noted that the damages have been fully compensated by canceling the ownership rights to the mentioned land plot.

The issue of selecting a preventive measure for the suspects is being resolved. Other participants in the illegal scheme are being identified.

The pre-trial investigation is being conducted by the detectives of the Odesa Region Police Department No. 1, with operational support from the Odesa Region Department of Strategic Investigations of the National Police of Ukraine.

Note: According to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a lawful manner and established by a court verdict.
