Position: former mayor of Skole.
Sphere of corruption: municipal property.
Region of corruption activity: Skole, Lviv region.
Qualification: Part 3, Article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Status: at large.
The plot of the case: in 2015, the Skole City Council announced a competition for the lease of a communal space with an area of 150.8 m2. The then legal consultant Hanna Zinkevich-Dombrovska informed the director of LLC "Vadimir Company", which planned to open a store in this space, that he had to pay the city council 18 thousand UAH. For this money, she promised to assist in the purchase of this space.
Later, the director of "Vadimir Company" handed over the money to Hanna Zinkevich-Dombrovska, who then divided it with Volodymyr Moskal. After that, the mayor signed a decision of the executive committee, according to which LLC "Vadimir Company" was recognized as the winner of the competition, although it was not actually held.
In the same year, Volodymyr Mokal and Hanna Zinkevych-Dombrovska were detained on suspicion of receiving a bribe of UAH 18,000. In 2018, the Stryi City District Court found the officials guilty of forging documents and receiving a bribe and sentenced Volodymyr Moskal to 6.5 years in prison, and the legal consultant of the city council to 5.5 years with confiscation of property.
The convicts appealed this decision and in 2021 the Lviv Court of Appeal overturned the verdict. The court confirmed a number of violations during the collection of evidence and did not take into account the testimony of witnesses. In 2023, the Lviv Court of Appeal sent the case for a new trial.
On August 19, 2025, the case was considered by the Stryi City District Court. The lawyers of the former officials requested that the court close the case due to the statute of limitations. This proposal was also supported by the prosecutor's office. Taking into account the circumstances of the case, Judge Viktoriia Buchkivska released Volodymyr Mokal and Hanna Zinkevich-Dombrovska from liability and closed the case. This ruling can be appealed.
We should add that in 2018, six months after the verdict for a bribe of UAH 18,000, Skole Mayor Volodymyr Moskal was detained for the second time for a bribe of UAH 68,700. He demanded that the ownership of the property be transferred to his mother.

The lawyers of the former officials requested that the court close the case due to the statute of limitations. This proposal was also supported by the prosecutor's office.
