Mayor of Kyiv Vitaliy Klychko temporarily removed Volodymyr Prokopiv from the post of deputy head of the KCSA for the period of verification by law enforcement agencies of the information made public by investigative journalists from Bihus Info. Prokopiv himself submitted an application for dismissal.

Klitschko appealed to the law enforcement and anti-corruption authorities with a request to check the data presented by journalists regarding Prokopiv.

And also, during the inspection, to ensure its objectivity, I suspend Prokopiv from performing the duties of deputy head of the KCSA with self-governing powers

Prokopiv himself announced that he decided to resign from the post of deputy mayor of Kyiv.

I never held on to the position of deputy head of the KCSA, so I submitted a resignation letter in the name of the mayor of Kyiv

He added that his family's reputation and good name are important to him.

I understand why attention was drawn to me, because I am the head of the largest faction in the Kyiv City Council. I will continue to work

In their new investigation "Deputy Klitschko's friends are raking Kyiv: who, how and for how much", Bihus Info journalists claim that two of Prokopiv's comrades, Oleksandr Poshtaryuk and Andriy Stetsenko, through private companies acquired at least six real estate properties that previously belonged to the city

The article also mentions that before starting to receive communal property, they helped the Prokopiv family to purchase elite housing on favorable terms.
