Position: former Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration.
Sphere of corruption: land issues.
Region of corruption activity: Kyiv city.
Qualification: actions are qualified under Part 5 of Art. 27 Part 3 of Art. 15 Part 5 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Status: at large.
Case story: On February 6, 2025, NABU and SAPO conducted the "Clean City" operation to expose the capital's officials involved in corruption in the land and budget sectors of the city. According to the investigation, the participants in the scheme found promising land plots and registered ownership rights to structures that never existed there in the hands of controlled persons. Later, they submitted applications to the City Council for the provision of ownership rights for the maintenance of these structures, which made it possible to avoid bidding.
Among the suspects: former Kyiv City Council deputy Denys Komarnytskyi, deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration Petro Olenich, head of the land issues commission Mykhailo Terentyev, commission member Olena Marchenko and other participants.
On February 7, 2025, the High Anti-Corruption Court imposed preventive measures on the capital's officials suspected of land corruption. On February 10, the NABU reported that the alleged leader of the corruption organization, former Kyiv City Council deputy Denys Komarnytsky, was put on the wanted list in Ukraine. In total, ten people were suspected in the land corruption case in Kyiv.
Later, the head of the Kyiv City State Property and Housing Administration, Timur Tkachenko, said that one of the most common land deals is the so-called “toilet scheme.” This is when businessmen register ownership of formal real estate, in particular, small architectural forms, and thus “squeeze out hectares of the capital’s land.” Because of this, the city budget loses millions of hryvnias.
On February 27, NABU and SAPO released a video with recordings of conversations between capital officials and fragments of surveillance footage as part of Operation Clean City. It was conducted in early February to expose those involved in corruption in the land and budget sectors of Kyiv.
The published conversations show that the case involves, in particular, Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration Petro Olenych, Head of the Kyiv City Council Commission on Land Relations Mykhailo Terentyev, deputies and other officials. The scheme was probably organized by businessman and former Kyiv City Council deputy Dmytro Komarnytsky.
In December 2025, NABU and SAPO announced new suspicions within the framework of the “Clean City” operation. The former deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration and his accomplice (Olexander Spasybko and accomplice Roman Blyumin). According to the investigation, they tried to appropriate two land plots in the capital using the so-called “toilet scheme”. The amount of potential damage to Kyiv is over 19.5 million UAH.
According to the investigation, they tried to appropriate two land plots in the capital using the so-called "toilet scheme."
We are talking about the events of 2023-2024. Then the suspects registered "buildings" in the names of fake persons, which were allegedly built on these sites in the early 90s.
These "objects" were then purchased by controlled companies, which applied to the Kyiv City Council with applications for the formation of land plots for servicing the "buildings" and the transfer of these plots for their use.
According to NABU, in order to secure the right to the land, the suspects, together with a deputy of the Kyiv City Council, the head of the land commission, organized the construction of primitive structures on it, the so-called "toilets", the production of technical passports and the registration of ownership rights to them.
In addition, according to the investigation, participants in the corruption scheme paid money to representatives of law enforcement and regulatory agencies so that they would turn a blind eye to the unauthorized construction. The identities of these people have not yet been established, NABU noted.
According to investigators' estimates, the amount of potential damage to the territorial community of Kyiv is over UAH 19.5 million.
On December 11, the High Anti-Corruption Court chose Spasibko as a preventive measure in the form of a bail of 35 million hryvnias. NABU and SAPO demanded 50.1 million. The court took into account the risks of flight: during the full-scale war, Spasibko traveled abroad 16 times. A file with a list of documents for obtaining Romanian citizenship was found in his correspondence.
In February 2026, the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) changed the preventive measure for two suspects in land corruption in Kyiv. They did not post bail, so they will now be held in custody with the alternative to bail.
It is reported that the investigating judge of the High Anti-Corruption Court supported the prosecutor of the Administrative Criminal Procedure Code and changed the preventive measure for two suspects - the former deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA) and his accomplice. Traditionally, the names of the suspects are not indicated there.
Suspilny's sources in law enforcement agencies told us that the suspect is former deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration, Oleksandr Spasybko, and the name of his accomplice is Roman Blyumin.
Their previous preventive measure was only a bail of UAH 24.9 million and UAH 15 million, respectively. However, the suspects did not pay it. Therefore, the SAPO requested a change of the preventive measure from bail to detention with the alternative of paying bail.
The VAKS agreed and took both suspects into custody. Currently, alternative bail for Spasybko is UAH 20 million; for Blyumin, UAH 10 million.
SAPO specialists recalled that both are suspects in the case of a criminal organization that operated under the leadership of a former deputy of the Kyiv City Council and aimed to seize land in Kyiv and take control of the procedure for local authorities to adopt decisions on granting land rights.
It should be noted that the pre-trial investigation in the case has now been completed. The defense is reviewing the case materials.
Persons potentially involved in corruption schemes: Spasybko's main accomplice is Roman Blyumin. However, the "Clean City" is also implicated in the former Kyiv City Council deputy Denys Komarnytskyi, Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration Petro Olenich, Head of the Land Issues Commission Mykhailo Terentyev, Commission member Olena Marchenko, and other participants.
Assets: Spasybko's latest income declaration is the declaration for 2019. At that time, he indicated that he owns two apartments in Kyiv, a residential building, and three land plots in the Kyiv region.
The former official's income at that time was UAH 572,888.
He declared 1,400,000 UAH, 45,000 dollars, and 7,000 euros in cash.
In addition, detectives provided some interesting details regarding the property status of Oleksandr Spasybko and his family. Thus, the official income of this suspect, calculated by tax agents for the period 1998-2025, amounted to only 15.3 million hryvnias, of which 6.9 million were received in the last three years. Along with this, in 2023-2025, Oleksandr Spasybko received income from entrepreneurial activity in the amount of 7.1 million hryvnias. That is, apparently, these are different "income items", and in total he earned about 22.5 million hryvnias. At the same time, at the court hearing during the election of a preventive measure, Spasybko reported that his monthly income is currently 250 thousand hryvnias. In addition, NABU established that his wife received income calculated by tax agents in the amount of 1.59 million hryvnias in the period 1998-2025, of which 1.2 million in the last three years.
At the same time, as of the end of 2025, Oleksandr Spasybko had almost no property – except for a plot of land with an area of 0.1 ha in the village of Pidhirtsi, Obukhiv district, Kyiv region. In turn, his wife owned two garden houses with an area of 246.3 sq.m. and 247.9 sq.m. and land plots under them with a total area of almost 0.2 ha – this property is located in the same settlement, next to Oleksandr Spasybko’s plot. And the 18-year-old daughter of this ex-official was the owner of an apartment with an area of 55.4 sq.m. (in which city, it is not specified, but an apartment of the same “meterage” was mentioned in Spasybko’s declarations, and it was noted there that it was located in Kyiv). As for cars, the Spasybko family has two of them – a 2019 AUDI Q5, which belongs to his wife, and a 2021 AUDI A8, which is owned by the suspect's mother. It was Oleksandr Spasybko who gave both cars to his wife and mother in May 2025.
Persons who should have reacted: law enforcement officers should have paid attention to Spasybko's criminal activities even earlier. In particular, the UCP and SBI officers should have dealt with this issue.
Scandals: as journalists previously wrote, Spasibko is an experienced manager of many scams of the construction mafia of Kyiv. According to media reports, for several years Spasibko dealt with the problem of Voitsekhovsky's apartment pyramids, which he solved not for the benefit of deceived investors, but in the interests of fraudulent developers and their patrons in the Kyiv City State Administration. And at the same time, he covered up new construction pyramids.
The media learned that thousands of citizens had suffered from construction fraud, but Klitschko's deputy Oleksandr Spasybko, appointed to investigate the scandal, managed to do even worse: "accused the victims of the fraud of ... financing illegal development in the city."
