On 2 July 2025, the HACC Appeals Chamber upheld the interim measure for Oleh Tatarenko, who is also a suspect in the corruption case involving the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories. The court rejected the prosecutor’s appeal, which sought to place the suspect in custody with an alternative bail of UAH 50 million. Currently, Tatarenko is subject only to bail in the amount of UAH 9.9 million.
According to investigators, Oleh Tatarenko, Deputy Director of CITYGAZSERVICE LLC, is one of the participants in the scheme, allegedly responsible for preparing documents and communications.
According to investigators, Serhii Kopystyra, together with senior officials of the Ministry, implemented a scheme to illegally acquire land in Kyiv for the construction of a residential complex, which could have caused losses to the state exceeding UAH 1 billion. Another figure in this case is the current Deputy Prime Minister and, at the time of the alleged offense, Minister for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine, Oleksii Chernyshov, whose possible suspension from office is also under consideration today.
