The High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) has imposed a preventive measure on the head of a district council in Transcarpathia, the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office reports. According to the case file, it is Mykhaylo Lanyo.

On 27 June 2024, an investigating judge of the HACC imposed a preventive measure on the head of a district council in Transcarpathia, a suspect in the case of selling 3 hectares of communal land for nothing.

Having considered the motion of the NABU detectives, approved by the SAPO prosecutor, the court imposed a preventive measure in the form of detention with an alternative of UAH 30 million bail.

If bail is granted, the suspect will be subject to the relevant procedural obligations.

The case of Andriy Baloha

  • This morning, the HACCU arrested the former head of the municipal property and land relations department of the city council in this case. 
  • The day before, the HACC imposed a measure of restraint on the mayor of Mukachevo, Andriy Baloha, in the form of detention. The suspect may be released on bail in the amount of UAH 30 million.
  • Earlier it was reported that the mayor of Mukachevo, Andriy Baloha, and the head of the district council in Transcarpathian Region were exposed for selling land at low prices. The abuse was estimated at almost UAH 75 million. According to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, the mayor "pushed through" a decision at the city council session to sell the Avangard stadium land plot in Mukachevo at a price that was almost nine times lower than the actual value to a private company whose actual controller is the head of the district council, a former MP.
