As is known, in 2019, the Security Service of Ukraine conducted searches at Komarnytskyi's home. A number of documents were found in his home that linked the construction and tender of the capital to various individuals. In particular, "Bigus.info" reported that documents were found at Komarnytskyi's home that the family of MP Mykola Tyshchenko could have made money on schemes related to the construction of the Podilsko-Voskresenskyi bridge.

Denys Komarnytskyi is a suspect in the EBK database.

As a reminder, NABU and SAPO are also investigating the illegal enrichment of People's Deputy Tyshchenko in the amount of over 30 million UAH. Detectives are investigating the facts of the receipt by the former director of the Velour restaurant Vakalchuk of an apartment with an area of ​​almost 100 sq. m in Kyiv in a building on Pavla Skoropadskyi Street, 43, where the restaurant was previously located; two land plots and a residential building with an area of ​​322 sq. m in Kozyn, near Kyiv, as well as a 2016 Mercerdes-Benz V250 car worth 1.62 million UAH.

According to detectives, Vakalchuk received property worth almost UAH 9 million, but its market value is even higher. An analysis of his income has shown that he could not have acquired such property. In addition, Bihus.info journalists recorded that Vakalchuk's property was used by People's Deputy Tyshchenko and his wife.
