Kyiv City Council deputy Viktoria Ptashnyk stated that Mykhailo Terentyev, a defendant in the "Clean City" criminal case on land corruption, still holds the mandate of a deputy and even convenes meetings of the City Council's Land Commission. The parliamentarian reported this in her address.
The “Clean City” case is a joint operation of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, within the framework of which law enforcement officers exposed, as investigators claim, a large-scale scheme of appropriation and disposal of land plots in Kyiv. Among the persons involved in the investigation are the “overseer of Kyiv” Denys Komarnytskyi, the secretary of the Kyiv City Council Volodymyr Bondarenko, the deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration Petro Olenych, as well as representatives of the “Batkivshchyna” and “UDAR” factions.
Ptashnyk expressed indignation that a person involved in a high-profile case remains in the deputy's seat and continues to influence the city's land issues, in particular by convening a meeting of a commission that would consider issues related to the disposal of city land. She emphasized the need to consider the issue of the inadmissibility of participation in land decisions by persons named in the anti-corruption proceedings.
