Deputy head of Zaporizhzhia Regional Council concealed purchase of apartment in Miami

Vladyslav Kutsenko, deputy head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Council, has become the centre of a scandal involving luxury real estate in the US. The official concealed the fact of purchasing an apartment in Miami in his declaration, stating that he was only renting accommodation. However, an investigation revealed the opposite.

Apartment worth $410,000

According to journalists, one week before the full-scale invasion, Kutsenko purchased a 95 sq m apartment in Miami. The deal was worth $410,000. However, the property was officially registered not in his name, but in the name of the company Konka LLC, whose founders are listed as his mother and mother-in-law.

Corruption and court proceedings

Kutsenko is also named in corruption investigations. According to the investigation, he received kickbacks from medical equipment suppliers. The court selected detention as his preventive measure, but the official was released on bail of 3 million hryvnia and continued to lead a luxurious lifestyle.

Real estate, cars and land plots

In addition to the apartment in the US, Kutsenko transferred other real estate, 30 hectares of land, a car and a garage to his mother-in-law, Alla Peretyatko.
