KDGA leader faces house arrest; Prosecutor's office challenges decision in court.
In a recent development, Dmitry Zagumenny, the head of the apparatus of Kyiv City State Administration, and the former director of communal enterprise "ATP KSG" have found themselves under nighttime house arrest, as per a decision made by the Pecherskyi Rayonnyi Court in Kyiv.
The prosecutor's office has accused Zagumenny and the former director of embezzling 1.3 million hryvnias, allegedly using budget funds for the repair of a building in the centre of Kyiv, which is in private ownership. This repair is considered illegal by the investigation.
The court's decision includes a series of obligations for both individuals. They are not allowed to leave Kyiv city and region without the permission of the investigator and prosecutor. They must also inform about any change of their place of residence. Additionally, they are prohibited from communicating with other suspects or witnesses in the case.
The preventive measures are valid until October 13, 2025. However, the prosecutor's office has stated that it will appeal this court decision. Similarly, the prosecutor's office is also appealing the court's refusal to dismiss Zagumenny and the former director.
Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko has expressed concerns about the situation, stating that "obstacles are being created for the Kyiv community."
It is important to note that as of my latest update, there is no publicly available detailed information on the current status of the embezzlement case involving Dmitry Zagumenny and the former director of ATP KSG in Kyiv, Ukraine. For the most up-to-date and accurate details, I recommend checking official Ukrainian legal or government news sources, local Kyiv news outlets, or court records related to this case.
In a statement, Zagumenny has denied the suspicion, calling it "absurd, unfounded, and unproven." The nighttime house arrest has also been applied to the former director of the communal enterprise "ATP KSG".
According to the General Prosecutor of Ukraine, Ruslan Kravchenko, 22 suspicions have been issued to officials in Kyiv for causing damage of 230 million hryvnias. This case appears to be specific and may not have widespread media coverage in international sources. If you have access to Ukrainian legal databases or local investigative journalism platforms, those might provide the latest developments. If you want, I can help guide you on where to look for official information.
The ongoing embezzlement case involving Dmitry Zagumenny and the former director of ATP KSG is gaining attention in Kyiv's policy-and-legislation sphere, as well as general news, following their nighttime house arrest. The court's decision also includes restrictions on their involvement in politics, as they are prohibited from communicating with other suspects or witnesses in the case. Meanwhile, the prosecutor's office is appealing this decision and the court's refusal to dismiss them, potentially setting the stage for future developments in crime-and-justice.
