The question of the expediency of the work of the Municipal Guard in Zaporizhzhia has already been repeatedly raised by both local journalists and representatives of the authorities. In particular, the secretary of the Zaporizhia City Council, Regina Kharchenko, promised to liquidate the Municipal Guard by the end of the year if it does not show its effectiveness.
We remind you that the KP "Municipal Guard" of the Zaporizhia City Council was created at the end of 2022 with the aim of ensuring the protection of public order in the territory of the city of Zaporizhia. wrote about the corruption risks involved in the creation of the Municipal Guard , and over time a number of corruption schemes on which the "Zaporizhia guards" make money became extremely obvious.
In particular, according to our sources, instead of maintaining law and order, representatives of the Zaporizhia Munvarta engage in petty racketeering and crush street trade. For example, since October of this year, fish trade has started in the city, a certain thing that is not entirely legal.
Instead of drawing up protocols and prohibiting such activities, the management of Munvarta covered such points with "tribute". In order to legalize the scheme of extortions with a part of the trading points where possible, contracts were concluded between them for the protection of public order, and from others they simply take 500 hryvnias in their pockets.
At the same time, the leadership of Munvarta has "favorite" areas of the city, where protocols under Art. 152 KUpAP are almost never completed. In other words, the new management of Zaporizhzhya Munvarta has "favorite" entrepreneurs who do not comply with these protocols, which is easy to check by requesting relevant information from the administrative commission of the executive committee.
As for the leadership of Municipal Guard, the recently appointed head Yuriy Molchanov and his deputy Mykhailo Barats openly use a Jac js4 official car (state registration number AR 2374 KE), bought with city money to protect public order, in their personal goals And Mykhailo Barats decided not to submit a declaration at all, which should become the subject of attention from the NAKC.
