HACC Appeals Chamber Keeps Komarnytskyi in Absentia Custody

The Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court has left businessman Denys Komarnytskyi under arrest in absentia in the case of his organization of land seizure in Kyiv. The press service of the High Anti-Corruption Court reports this, but does not mention the politician's name.

According to "Word and Deed", this is about Komarnytsky. 

The Appeals Chamber of HACC considered the appeal of the defense against the ruling of the investigating judge of the Supreme Court of Justice dated 09.05.2025 on the application of a preventive measure in the form of detention to one of the defendants in the case regarding the illegal distribution of land in the city of Kyiv, who is currently outside Ukraine. Based on the results of the consideration, the panel of judges of the Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the appeal of the defense, and the ruling of the investigating judge of the Supreme Court of Justice remained unchanged.

 Denys Komarnytskyi is a figure in the EBK database.

On February 6, 2025, it became known that the National Anti-Corruption Bureau was conducting investigative actions against businessman Denys Komarnytskyi.

Later, the NABU press service reported that the Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office "are conducting a large-scale operation "Clean City" to expose a criminal organization involved in land corruption in the Kyiv City Council."

As part of this case, the HACC remanded Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration Petro Olenych in custody for two months and set him on bail of UAH 15 million. The Head of the Land Commission Mykhailo Terentyev was also given a preventive measure - two months of detention with the possibility of bail of almost UAH 20 million.
