Status: Oleksiy Spektor died, as reported by the High Anti-Corruption Court on July 31. The specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office wanted to close the case against Oleksiy Spektor due to his death. However, the widow of the accused asked to continue hearing the case for the rehabilitation of the deceased. Therefore, the case will be heard further.
At the same time, Spektor's preventive measure in the form of 1.3 million hryvnias was canceled.
On August 2, 2023, the pre-trial investigation in the so-called "Krayan case", in which the mayor of Odesa Hennadiy Trukhanov, the director of the department of communal property of the Odesa City Council Oleksiy Spektor, businessman Volodymyr Galanternyk and more than a dozen other people are among those involved, was completed.
The plot of the case: on June 14, 2018, the court released Oleksiy Spektor , the director of the Department of Communal Property of the Odessa City Council, who was suspected by NABU detectives of involvement in the seizure of 185 million hryvnias from the Odesa budget , on a personal bond.
16 people are suspected in the "Odesa case". Investigators established that during 2016-2019, the criminal group developed a scheme to appropriate money from the local budget and land plots for their further development. Plots were handed over to their developers bypassing tenders, and city hall officials received either money or apartments in return.
These citizens are suspected of illegal activities (withdrawal of budget funds, communal property and land), as a result of which the community and the state suffered losses in the amount of UAH 689 million.
According to NABU, these persons took possession of six plots of land in Odesa at the following addresses: 4 Gagarin Plateau (Sea View residential complex); Varnenska, 27 with the letters A, B and G (JK "Sky City"); Zhabotynskoho 54A (apartment complex "Altair-3") and Akademichna, 30 (apartment complex "Marine Residence"). All these houses were built by the "Budova" company, which is associated with Galanternik. Separately, those involved are suspected of taking possession of over UAH 131 million for the purchase of the land plot of the former Zastava airfield at an inflated cost.
In 2021, Oleksiy Spektor was dismissed from the post of director of the Department of Communal Property of the Odesa City Council.
He died in 2024. The preventive measure in the form of 1.3 million hryvnias was canceled.
Persons potentially involved in the schemes of Oleksiy Spektor:
The criminal group, in addition to Trukhanov and Galanternyk, and the former director of the communal property department Oleksiy Spektor and his deputy Volodymyr Radionov, included the director of the law department of the city hall Inna Popovska, the ex-head of the deputy commission on communal property Vasyl Shkryabai and the former head of the land commission Oleg Bryndak.
Also among the suspects are private individuals whom the investigation considers to be related to Volodymyr Galenternyk. These are Alyona Popova, who allegedly interacted with officials, lawyer Diamid Zgonnik, who allegedly represented construction companies, and Oleksandra Kosenko, who allegedly registered Galanternyk's agreements with construction companies.
Another suspect is Oleg Zhuchenko, the ex-prosecutor of the Odesa region. The investigation believes that the regional prosecutor's office systematically received bribes from OZU in the form of apartments in new buildings, which were first taken on the department's balance sheet, and then privatized. As a result, prosecutor employees received dozens of apartments, one of them, in the Belietazh residential complex, went to the regional prosecutor personally.
Scandals: In addition to Ukrainian citizenship, Oleksiy Spektor also had Cypriot and Hungarian passports. Thus, he has at least three citizenships.
Persons who should have reacted to the corruption schemes of Oleksiy Spektor:
In the case of Oleksiy Spektor, law enforcement agencies, the prosecutor's office and the court worked well, but for a long time.
Wealth: Owner of four apartments in Odesa with an area of 37 to 56 square meters, a Toyota RAV 4 car. Salary for 2022 is UAH 33,000, keeps UAH 947,000 in cash.
