On August 8, 2025, HACC investigative judge extended the period of pre-trial investigation until November 12 in the case of illegal transfer of land in Kyiv for development, with one of the suspects being former Vice Prime Minister Oleksii Chernyshov.
A detective explained that more time was necessary to complete forensic examinations, in particular, to study the cell phones and assess the market value of the object of undue benefit, for art expert examination of the book by Hryhorii Skovoroda, involved in the case, for handwriting examination etc. In addition, detectives are awaiting a response to a request for international assistance and are still interviewing witnesses.
The defense objected to this motion. They claimed that all the necessary procedural actions could have taken place earlier.
