The SBU and the DBR uncovered a judge from Dnipro who had embezzled a rented apartment.

This was reported by the SBU press service.

According to the case materials, the perpetrator rented this apartment in the center of Dnipro and for six months failed to pay the corresponding amounts for his actual residence. Furthermore, the judge, under fabricated pretenses, did not allow the owner access to the apartment, despite her attempts to meet with him to clarify the reasons for the absence of rent payments.

Subsequently, the official forged documents in which he "added" that he supposedly purchased the property from the victim for 412,000 hryvnias. He then filed a civil lawsuit in court to have the contract recognized as valid. Additionally, he "supported" this claim with a fake receipt from the apartment owner allegedly confirming that she had received the funds for the sale of the property.

It has been established that the court issued a default judgment, satisfying the official's claims and recognizing his ownership rights to the respective apartment.

During searches at the addresses of the judge's residence and workplace, computers, mobile phones, rough notes, and working documentation with evidence of the scheme were discovered.

The suspect has currently been informed of charges under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: Part 5 of Article 190 (fraud committed on a particularly large scale); Part 2 of Article 384 (deceiving the court or another authorized body for selfish motives).
