The High Anti-Corruption Court extended until September 22 the term of the duties assigned to the former head of the Main Department of the State Geocadastre in the Kyiv region, Lyudmila Prykhodko, in the case of land seizure in Pushcha-Vodytsa and Fastiv in the region.

To extend the term of the obligations imposed on the suspect (Prykhodko - ed.) in connection with the application of a preventive measure in the form of bail to her for the term of the resolution. The term of the resolution is two months, until September 22, 2025 inclusive, but within the term of the pre-trial investigation

As is known, Germany extradited the suspect Prykhodko to Ukraine. The Anti-Corruption Court arrested her with the alternative of 10 million UAH bail. These funds were deposited and the suspect was released from custody. Prykhodko is obliged to: appear on summons; not leave the Kyiv region, except for the city of Kyiv, without permission; report a change in her place of residence and work; refrain from communicating with a number of persons and hand over her foreign passports. The prosecutor of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office requested that these obligations be extended.

Lyudmila Prykhodko is a figurehead of the EBK base.

As a reminder, NABU and SAPO reported suspicions to five individuals, including former head of the State Reserve Dmytro Babak. The investigation established that in 2018-2019, the organizer of the crime, having influence over officials of the Main Department of the State Geocadastre in the Kyiv region, as well as connections with high-ranking officials in various spheres, developed a scheme to seize agricultural lands that were in permanent use by state enterprises in the Kyiv region. To do this, he involved other accomplices who were looking for ATO participants with the right to receive a land plot free of charge.

We previously reported that NABU detained a judge for taking a bribe in a bag of apples.
