In order to expand the elite suburban complex Emily Resort, Lviv businessman and former deputy Hryhoriy Kozlovsky stole the lake, forest and private plots of residents from the Vynnykivsk community, building a place for the entertainment of the "rich and famous" on the "people's mountain".
This is reported by the editors of the 360UA NEWS
The fact that the first plot of land measuring 16 hectares for the development of Emily Resort was obtained by Kozlovsky illegally became known from the decisions of the Higher Anti-Corruption Court, within the framework of the NABU criminal case , regarding the illegal privatization of land around Lake Vynnykivskyi by the Kozlovsky family in 2021.
In order to avoid criminal liability for the stolen land and lake, Hryhoriy Kozlovsky made his five children the owners of this plot, and later, at the end of 2023, they further divided it into seven parts. The division of the plot stolen from the community into parts may be caused by the desire to make it difficult to return it to communal ownership. However, as the practice of the Supreme Court shows, there are still chances to return the land around the lake to the people of Vinnytsia.
Regarding the reaction of Hryhoriy Kozlovsky, to reminders from local residents that Kozlovsky promised them free access to the city lake, and in fact it turned into a swimming pool for the rich and famous guests of the Emily Resort, Kozlovsky replied : " So much money was invested here, do you think? that everything here will be free? Of course, there will be a fee."
also the Vynnykivskyi forest Emily Resort development
We will remind, at the meeting of September 12, the deputies of the Lviv City Council approved a detailed plan of the territory on the street. Zabava and Khmelnytskyi in Vynnyky, which provides for the transfer to Hryhoriy Kozlovsky another 118 hectares of Vynnyky land together with the Vynnyky forest for the large-scale development of the elite resort Emily Resort. the tram route promised to the people of Vinnytsia , which was supposed to connect Mystiny with Lviv, Kozlovsky decided to arrange a route for bike rides.
But in addition to the fact that Hryhoriy Kozlovsky stole land, a lake and a forest from the community, the Detailed Development Plan of Emily Resort also provides for the seizure of private plots.
Thus, at the public hearings where the townspeople tried to stop the expansion of Emily Resort at the expense of the Vinniki forest and private plots, Roman Bodnar, a deputy of three convocations of the LMR, noted that people came to the public hearings to protect the private property that is in the "Pryozerny" cooperative.
"Why did we come? Because someone approved the Emily Resort plan so that it goes all the way to the co-ops and takes away our private property. And what document are you using to gather us and say "you are nobody and nothing here, and the project has already been approved", Roman Bodnar was indignant.
At the same time, another resident said that people are concerned not only about their private property, but also about the forest and are generally against the development of the complex:
"The community is generally against this expansion. We have already had such a bitter experience. Bohdan Khmelnytskyi Street has ceased to be a transit due to the fact that you built "Emily Resort". Is it legal when a street is "cut" by private property? Residents cannot walk down this street from start to finish. It's all a farce, a fake and a provocation, you don't hear people!"
As we can see, against the wishes of the community, Hryhoriy Kozlovsky still managed to capture the lake, the forest, and the private plots of Vinniki residents, including thanks to corrupt deputies of the Lviv City Council, such as Oleksiy Riznyk from European Solidarity.
Oleksiy Riznyk is a long-time business partner of Hryhoriy Kozlovskyi and his accomplice in the illegal production and smuggling of tobacco products to Europe. In particular, "Vynnykivka Tobacco Factory" and "Marvel International Tobacco Group" sell products through "Marvel Trading House" LLC, owned by Oleksiy Riznik, who was listed as the director of the factory until May 19, 2024. So it is not surprising that Oleksiy Raznyk is considered one of the wealthiest members of the Lviv City Council.
a criminal case in August 2023 in connection with the privatization of the land around Lake Vynniki under Emily Resort, the only one from the Lviv City Council came to convince the residents of Vynniki that their interests will not be harmed. Although, as can be concluded from watching the video recording of the meeting, the residents of Vinnytsia did not believe Riznik.
At the same time, Hryhoriy Kozlovsky is trying to drown out the voices of the Vinnytsia community he robbed, "helping the Armed Forces", he even received an award from the Minister of Defense Umyerov. But, if you count the sums for which Kozlovsky elected the community, the aid for the Armed Forces is only pennies.
Yes, Hryhoriy Kozlovskyi's one-time aid to the Armed Forces of Ukraine is 2 million hryvnias each, nothing compared to the market value of the land stolen by Kozlovskyi for the construction of the Emily Resort, because the average cost of one hectare of land for development in that area is 2,500 USD.
Based on the calculation of 118 hectares recently transferred to Emily Resort for development, the amount is much more than a billion hryvnias. Of course, if you steal billions, you can donate a few million to the Armed Forces, and it's also a good way to promote yourself.
In general, the attitude of the people of Vinniki to the construction of the Emily Resort and to the ostentatious charity of Hryhoriy Kozlovskyi can be characterized by the words of one of the residents of Vinnikki, spoken at the community meeting: "In the east, the Muscovy creeps onto our land, and the only way to get rid of it is to shoot. And here Kozlovsky climbs onto our land. Unfortunately, there are no laws to stop him."
