Detectives of the State Bureau of Investigation have served five men with a notice of suspicion of organizing a criminal group that seized five apartments in Odesa and Kyiv communities.
According to the SBI press service, all suspects have been chosen a measure of restraint.
One of the participants in the scheme is Oleksiy Tandyr, a judge from the city of Makariv, who in May 2023 shot down a soldier at a checkpoint in Kyiv. The judge will be held in custody without the alternative of bail. The sanction of the article provides for up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
According to the investigation, the scheme with the apartments operated during 2021-2023. The detainees carefully prepared for the crime, worked out the mechanisms of interaction and implementation of their plans. They intended to take possession of another apartment, but in the end of the story, the owners had an heiress and the criminal intent of the organized criminal group (OCG) was thwarted.
The main idea of the group was to find an apartment whose owner had died and left no heir. Then the criminals executed a fictitious sale and purchase agreement for the property and transferred ownership to trustees through fictitious court decisions.
The investigation found that the judge, who later got into an accident, his lawyer and a former state enforcement officer were the brain trust of the group.
In order for the former judge to make a formal decision in the interests of the organized criminal group, two other accomplices filed a civil lawsuit to allegedly recover millions in debt for previously borrowed money. However, the borrower paid the lender with apartments that had already been taken away from their deceased owners.
The case file includes at least six apartments in Kyiv and Odesa. Some of them were supposed to become the property of local communities as an inheritance, but instead the real estate ended up in the hands of the fraudsters. The total value of the real estate seized by the criminal organization amounted to UAH 7.6 million.
