Odesa judge did not list her home in Dubai and said she deserves a monument for her honesty

Judge of the Kyiv District Court of Odesa , Alla Malomuzh, did not indicate in her declaration the rental of an apartment in the United Arab Emirates worth almost 700 thousand hryvnias.

This was reported by Slidstvo.info journalists in their investigation.

The journalists found information about the judge's Dubai real estate in the documents kept by the Dubai Land Department. According to these documents, it is a 117-square-meter apartment in the 14-storey Orin Building, located in the Al Barsha district, a 15-minute drive from Dubai's Palm Jumeihra island. The property consists of a hall and two bedrooms.

The website of the Dubai real estate agency states that the residents of this building can use a private pool, tennis court, barbecue area and round-the-clock security. According to the lease contract, which Slidstvo.info received from LeMonde, Alla Malomuzh had to pay 70 thousand dirhams (approximately 675.5 thousand hryvnias) for renting an apartment in Dubai from October 2023 to October 2024.

In the judge's declaration for 2023, when the lease agreement was already in force, there is no mention of real estate in Dubai.

In her declaration for 2023, Judge Malomuzh indicated that her annual income (judge's salary) was UAH 725,353 and UAH 47,000 in child support. This means that the rental of property in Dubai could have accounted for almost all of the judge's annual income.

The judge does not indicate her husband's place of work in the declaration, but instead notes that he has had $30,000 in savings over the past few years. As of 2023, when the judge seems to have started renting property in Dubai, her husband's savings decreased by 9 thousand USD. The declaration also states that in 2023, the judge's family had a third child.

During a conversation with the journalist, the judge denied that she rented an apartment in Dubai, advising journalists to contact law enforcement agencies with the information they had received.

"I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that there has never been a judge like me and probably never will be. I have never taken a single bribe in my life. I have conducted legal proceedings only in accordance with the law. A judge like me should be highlighted and put on a pedestal," the judge told reporters by phone.

Alla Malomuzh also noted that she has not been in Ukraine for almost three years. However, in her declarations for 2022-2023, her place of residence is an apartment in Odesa. There is no mention of renting real estate abroad in official documents.
