As a reminder, NABU and SAPO reported suspicions to Mukachevo Mayor Andriy Baloza and former People's Deputy Mykhailo Lanyo. According to the investigation, the Mayor of Mukachevo ensured the adoption of a decision at a session of the City Council to sell a plot of land at a price almost 9 times lower than the original price to a private company, the actual controller of which is the Chairman of the District Council, former People's Deputy Mykhailo Lanyo.

The basis for this was an expert monetary valuation with an undervalued value of the plot, for which the owners of the appraisal company were given a bribe. As a result of such transactions, land with a market value of 84.6 million UAH was sold for only 9.6 million UAH. Despite such a meager price, the mayor, by personal decision, also granted the company a 6-month payment installment plan. The losses to the territorial community amount to 74.9 million UAH.
