According to investigators, the activity of this group covers the illegal development of budget funds, raiding the land of the capital and evasion of mobilization due to influence on territorial centers of acquisition.
Corruption schemes and assets
-
Andriy Vitrenko, the head of the budget commission of the Kyiv City Council, blocks the undesirable for the Center and lobbies the distribution of funds for shelters and repairs that are mastered through affiliated companies. With a declared salary of UAH 1.3 million and modest cash savings, in 2024, his family acquired elite real estate without understandable sources of income.
-
Georgy Zantaray, athlete and deputy, declares the possession of two apartments, the use of the new Toyota Highlander, as well as millions of income of the wife without justifying the origin of funds.
-
Yevgeny Kuzmenko, deputy chairman of the land commission, owns apartments, expensive cars and watches, corporate rights in several companies and has debts for more than UAH 64 million - which can indicate shadow schemes.
-
Mykola Konopelko owns the estate, luxury cars and cryptocurrency. His declaration includes significant cash savings and accounts with Bulgaria and Poland banks.
According to sources, deputies use links in the Tax Code, drawing up fictitious certificates of unfitness for military service or providing "reservation" of controlled persons. This undermines confidence in the mobilization campaign and creates unequal conditions for citizens during the war.
According to investigators, the corruption activity of this group has helped Denis Komarnitsky for years to strengthen control of the capital through land distribution, budget flows and tenders.
