The story surrounding the cottage town "Vitagrad" near the village of Khodosivka in the Kyiv region has gone beyond the courtrooms. As the editorial office has learned, a whole group of people is forming around the developer Anatoly Prylypko, who is probably helping him remove the arrests from the land. Among them are judge Inna Finageeva and prosecutors Oleksandr Gutsulyak and Roman Koval.
The first suspicions were voiced by anti-corruption Telegram channels. Thus, according to the resource "Joker", prosecutors Hutsulyak (Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office) and Koval (Obukhov District) allegedly act in conjunction with Prylypko, receiving remuneration from him in exchange for "correct decisions" in criminal proceedings. These are cases regarding the illegal use of land for development.
Prylipko, let us recall, is trying through the Pechersk court to cancel the arrests on the plots of land of "Vitagrad" where active construction is planned.
Special attention is paid to Judge Inna Finageeva, who, according to sources, is considering cases involving Prylipko. And here's where the fun begins. As her declaration shows, she has close financial ties with a man named Serhiy Ivashchenko - he is listed as the person she shares a car with, and his income is also listed in her declaration.
Ivashchenko works at Design and Construction Center LLC (DBC), a company that receives many contracts in the Kyiv region. The company's portfolio includes the construction of the Ozerny Gai Gatne residential complex, participation in the construction of Sofiivske Lypy, and tenders with local governments through Prozorro.
All of these projects are located within the territorial jurisdiction of Judge Finageeva.
A logical question arises: could the judge have facilitated the successful conclusion of contracts for her relative? And does she provide “patronage” not only in court, but also outside it — by influencing permitting procedures or the judicial review of developers’ cases?
Another aspect is whether LLC "KBC" is directly connected to Prylipko. If so, this explains the loyalty to the person involved in the land seizure cases. Especially since "Vitagrad" is located in the zone of interests of the construction lobby.
Currently, sources report that NABU is already preparing to suspect Prylipko himself, and potential objects of the investigation could be both prosecutors and judges. If a conflict of interest or corrupt benefit is confirmed, the consequences could be loud.
Anti-corruption authorities should urgently check:
-
Judge Finageeva's connections with KBC LLC;
-
the circumstances of the loyal consideration of Prylipko's cases;
-
the alleged involvement of prosecutors in arrest cancellation schemes.
This story is an illustration of how the construction business in Ukraine is growing into the judicial and prosecutorial system, turning the state into a tool to cover up private enrichment.
