Instead of reconstructing a previously acquired children's health camp, the lessee built a club town with 34 separate cottages on recreational lands.
The capital's prosecutor's office has succeeded in terminating a land lease agreement in Pushcha-Voditsa, where a cottage village was being illegally built, in court, the Prosecutor General's Office reports.
The Northern Commercial Court of Appeal upheld the appeal of the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office and overturned the decision of the Commercial Court. The Kyiv City Council must terminate the lease agreement and return to the city community a land plot in the Obolonsky district of the capital with an area of 4 hectares. In addition, the plot must be brought into a suitable condition – demolish 13 unfinished construction projects.
Prosecutors established that the said land plot was leased to a private enterprise for 10 years for the reconstruction and maintenance of a family-type recreation center in the Pushcha-Voditsa microdistrict.
However, the lessee did not fulfill its debt under the lease agreement and, instead of reconstructing the previously acquired children's health camp, built a club town with 34 separate cottages on the recreational lands.
Taking into account these violations, juvenile prosecutors of the Obolon District Prosecutor's Office filed a claim to terminate the lease agreement and return the land to the city. The prosecutors' claim was fully satisfied by the Northern Appellate Economic Court.
Currently, the Obolon District Court of Kyiv is considering an indictment against the former head of the company that received this land plot for the reconstruction and maintenance of a family-type recreation center, and built a cottage town there. He is accused of fraudulently acquiring recreational lands with an area of 4 hectares and a value of almost UAH 27 million (Part 2 of Article 15 Part 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
