HACC Keeps Mykytas’ Case on National Guard Open

The High Anti-Corruption Court did not close the criminal proceedings on charges of former MP Maksym Mykytas in organizing the embezzlement of more than UAH 81 million from the National Guard.

 The motion of the defendant's defense attorney to close the criminal proceedings is denied.

Maksym Mykytas is a suspect in the EBK database.

As a reminder, back in November 2021, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office referred Mykytas' case to court. It was scheduled for consideration in January 2023.

According to the prosecution, the former People's Deputy, using construction companies under his control, acting in prior collusion with the former commander of the National Guard Yuriy Allerov, the general director of Ukrbud Development Oleg Maiboroda, his deputy Serhiy Yakusevych, private appraiser Alisa Grinchuk, and the former deputy president of the Ukrbud construction corporation Vyacheslav Marmysh, organized a corruption scheme to seize NGU real estate.

In the 2000s, the Main Directorate of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine (later reorganized into the Main Directorate of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine) and a development company concluded an agreement under which a residential complex with built-in parking lots and non-residential premises were to be built on the territory of the former military unit.

In exchange for a land plot of about 1 hectare in the center of Kyiv, NSU was to receive 50 apartments and 30 parking spaces in a residential complex.
