Prosecutor of the Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office Oleksandr Hutsulyak, responsible for environmental issues, has settled in the cottage town "Vitagrad", which is located in the village of Khodosivka, 7 kilometers from Kyiv. This villa, with an area of 180 square meters, worth about 18-19 million hryvnias, belongs to his parents.
According to an investigation by Bihus.Info, the land plot of the cottage town was seized by judicial authorities in 2021 due to land and environmental issues. However, within a year, the seizure was canceled based on a letter from the Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office stating that there was insufficient evidence.
After that, prosecutor Hutsulyak moved to Vitagrad six months later. In addition, in May 2023, he purchased a new car — a 2022 BMW X5. As noted, both the estate and the car are registered to the prosecutor's father.
During a conversation with journalists, Oleksandr Hutsulyak, a prosecutor with the Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office, claimed that his move to the cottage town of Vitagrad had nothing to do with his official duties. He noted that the estate was not purchased, but was being built, since, according to him, his father only purchased a plot of land. According to Hutsulyak's declaration, his father paid for almost 9 acres of land in the village of Khodosivka for less than 200,000 hryvnias, which is the cost of one acre according to current market prices.
In addition, the prosecutor stated that the construction of the estate began in the winter of 2023, but he had already moved in by the summer of the same year. However, according to aerial photos from the LUN and Google Earth Pro services, the house began to be built in the fall of 2021, and in the spring of 2022 it was already ready. In his response to journalists, Hutsulyak explained this by “magic.”.
The prosecutor's father, Viktor Hutsulyak, told reporters a different version: according to him, he purchased the plot back in 2021, but did not formalize it, but “agreed with the developer”. At the same time, according to him, he did not tell his son anything about this deal, and then construction began. Viktor Hutsulyak also stated that he is engaged in business and can afford it.
According to Bihus.Info, the prosecutor's father's official income in recent years would not have been enough to purchase both real estate and a new car. Recently, Viktor Hutsulyak also became the owner of two more apartments - in Kyiv and Irpen.
