The Supreme Court has refused to suspend the enforcement of the decision to confiscate a Mercedes-Benz G 400d for the mother of Andriy Morar, head of the Department of Migration Control, Counteraction to Illegal Migration and Readmission of the Main Department of the State Migration Service in Odesa Oblast.
This decision was made on July 2 by the Criminal Court of Cassation, according to Slovo i Dilo.
Earlier, Andriy Morara was dismissed from his post. In March, the Civil Court of Cassation dismissed the complaint filed by the lawyers of the mother of Andriy Moraru, head of the Department of Migration Control, Counteraction to Illegal Migration and Readmission of the Main Department of the State Migration Service in Odesa Oblast, regarding her Mercedes-Benz G 400 d.
The judges decided that the cassation appeal did not meet the above requirements of the procedural law. In particular, the applicant, in the judges' opinion, referred in general terms to the misapplication of substantive and procedural law by the courts of previous instances, as well as to the legal opinions of the Supreme Court, but did not specify specific grounds for cassation appeal, which made it impossible to open cassation proceedings.
In June 2024, the SBI exposed migration officials who wanted to make money from a foreigner. Andrii Moraru was among the detainees.
After that, the HACC started consideration of the case on confiscation of the Mercedes-Benz car. The car, worth more than UAH 5 million, belongs to the mother of Andrii Moraru , an official at Odesa Customs, who does not even have a driver's license.
In March 2025, the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court upheld the decision to confiscate a Mercedes-Benz G400 D used by Andrii Moraru, head of the migration control department of the State Migration Service in Odesa region.
The official registered the luxury SUV worth UAH 5.7 million for his mother in 2023.
However, neither his salary nor his mother's official income allowed for such a purchase. The court found that the car was purchased with funds of unknown origin and ordered that it be transferred to state ownership.
