The State Bureau of Investigation seized the property of the family of Lviv businessman Ihor Hrynkevich. The issue of imposing a seizure on the real estate of Roman Hrynkevych's ex-fiancée Sonia Morozyuk is still under consideration.
SBI wants to seize the artist Morozyuk's real estate
In the criminal proceedings, the real estate and vehicles of the Lviv businessman, his family members — his wife, son and mother-in-law, two of his co-conspirators and companies controlled by them were seized.
In addition, the bureau initiated the seizure of the real estate of the fiancee of the son of Lviv businessman Sofia Morozyuk and another accomplice.
The SBI reminds that in mid-January 2024, five persons were notified of suspicions of creating and participating in a criminal organization and taking possession of other people's property by breach of trust (fraud), committed under martial law conditions, on a particularly large scale, by a criminal organization (Chapter 5 of Article 190, Chapter 1 and 2 of Article 255 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The classification of the crimes committed by the members of the criminal organization under the leadership of the Lviv businessman has not changed since the notification of the suspicion.
It will be recalled that on January 17, the artist Sonia Morozyuk announced that she had broken off her engagement and would not marry the son of Roman Hrynkevych, a figure in the corruption scandal.
Regarding the property, Morozyuk stated that her father helped her buy two apartments in the summer of 2022, and she met Roman Hrynkevych almost a year after these purchases.
What is known about the Hrynkevych case
At the end of December last year, the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) detained one of the largest suppliers of the Ministry of Defence, who wanted to pay a bribe. It was about Lviv businessman Ihor Hrynkevich.
In particular, he is accused of offering $500,000 to one of the heads of the SBI Main Investigative Department to return the property.
The SBI instituted several criminal proceedings on the irregularities in procuring clothing and underwear for the Armed Forces. The businessman's companies won 23 tenders for supplying the Ministry of Defence with clothing for 1.5 billion hryvnias.
The law enforcement officers are also investigating the involvement of former Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications officials in the affairs related to Ihor Hrynkevich's companies.
Earlier it was reported that on January 17, Hrynkevych, his son Roman and three other heads of controlled companies were charged with suspicion. The three involved in the case were remanded in custody with the possibility of release on bail.
