An investigation was conducted in Odesa into possible fraud involving the yacht club's property

Documents related to a case involving the possible illegal transfer of property belonging to the Black Sea Yacht Club were seized in Odesa. 

The Primorsky District Court of Odessa issuedthe corresponding ruling on October 27.

According to the investigation, officials of the state-owned enterprise “Black Sea Yacht Club,” which is managed by the State Property Fund of Ukraine, may have abused their authority and official positions.

According to law enforcement, the case involves the possible transfer of state property to third parties for use without following the legally prescribed lease procedure. 

On August 26, 2026, investigators conducted an inspection of the yacht club’s premises. The property in question is a 2.9-hectare plot of land owned by the Odesa Regional State Administration and used by the Black Sea Yacht Club.

Buildings and structures with a total area of 504.9 square meters are also located on this property. These include a base, a transformer station, a control room, a non-residential building, a guardhouse, shoreline reinforcement, breakwaters, crossbeams, and a service and sports pier. These facilities are state-owned and managed by the State Property Fund of Ukraine.

During the inspection, investigators seized documents related to the operations of the kayak center located there. Specifically, a service agreement dated June 1, 2026; a public offer agreement; business documents; an extract from the register of single-tax payers; a permit from the State Border Guard Service; and a letter from the Navy dated July 4, 2026.

Law enforcement officers also seized a logbook of introductory training sessions containing entries for August 24–26, 2026. It contained information about people who likely visited the kayaking center and used its services.

The prosecutor filed a motion with the court to seize the documents. As a result, the judge ordered their seizure.
