Employees of the State Bureau of Investigation in cooperation with the SBU reported about the suspicion of a judge of the Babushkinskyi District Court of Dnipro, who illegally appropriated an apartment in the historic center of the city.
According to the investigation, the judge rented an apartment, but within two months he stopped paying the rent and did not allow the owner into her apartment. At the same time, he filed a civil lawsuit with another district court in Dnipro demanding that he be recognized as the owner of this property. The suspect's colleague satisfied the lawsuit and recognized the apartment as his property.
A forged receipt from the homeowner was used as evidence in court, allegedly confirming that she had received 412 hryvnias for the sale of the apartment. However, the woman stated that she had not received any money and had not signed any documents. A handwriting examination confirmed her words: the signature on the receipt turned out to be forged. Another examination established that the real market value of the apartment is almost 1 million hryvnias.
In addition, during the searches, a mobile phone with data confirming the fact of illegal seizure of real estate was seized from the judge, among other things.
The judge was informed of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 384 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (misleading the court) and Part 5 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (fraud on an especially large scale). The sanction of the articles provides for up to 12 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
A petition has also been prepared to the High Council of Justice for permission to detain the judge and suspend him from administering justice.
