In it, the prosecutor's office asked to recognize as illegal and cancel the order of the Executive Body of the Kyiv City Council (KCCA) dated January 11, 2021, which recognized “Active Country” as the winner of the investment competition. The prosecutor's office noted that this company had no experience in implementing similar projects and no experience in operating attractions of this type, given their potential danger to life and health. The defendants in the case were the Executive Body, KP “PLESO” and the LLC winner of the competition.</p> <p>However, the Economic Court of Kyiv, by its decision dated December 2, 2021, refused to satisfy the claim. This decision was upheld by the decision of the Northern Economic Court of Appeal dated June 16, 2022 and the decision of the Supreme Court dated September 14, 2022. The courts and defendants represented by capital officials did not agree with the position of the prosecutor’s office that the cable car across the Dnieper is a high-risk attraction. Also during the trial, it was established that at the time of the investment competition and the trial, the design and technical documentation for the attraction had not been developed.</p> <p>“However, none of the officials of the Kyiv City State Administration who held the competition to determine the winner were concerned about this until today’s tragic incident. KCSA officials who “demand a thorough investigation from law enforcement officers” are reminded of their position in the courts,” says the press release from the prosecutor’s office.</p> <p><iframe src=
