Cyberspecialists of the Security Service of Ukraine exposed the state registrar who illegally transferred the rights to the property of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and one of the higher educational institutions of Zhytomyr to an individual.
“The state registrar illegally intervened in the register of rights and took out of state ownership a real estate object. This is a complex in the city center with an area of 1,200 square meters, and its approximate cost is almost Hr 9 million,” the SBU press service reports.
As established by the investigation, the state registrar of one of the village councils of Zhytomyr region in 2019 made unauthorized changes to the Register of rights to real estate. On the basis of forged documents, he illegally transferred the rights to the property complex to an individual. Later, this property was re-registered to a local commercial structure.
The former state registrar was informed about the suspicion under Part 3 of Article 365-2 (abuse of authority by persons providing public services) and Part 1 of Article 362 (unauthorized actions with information that is processed in electronic computers, automated systems, computer networks or stored on carriers of such information, committed by a person who has the right to access it) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Pretrial investigation in criminal proceedings continues. Information about possible involvement of the person involved in the case in other transactions with state and communal property is being verified.
By the decision of the Economic Court of the Zhytomyr region, the property complex was arrested.
Based on the materials of the SBU, the Zhytomyr Regional Prosecutor’s Office appealed to the court in the interests of the state, represented by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and the state university, regarding the cancellation of illegal actions of the state registrar and the return of the real estate object to state ownership.
