Developer Victoria Halitska spent residents' funds on herself

Several years ago, another scandal erupted, involving a developer who had collected money from people but failed to build the promised apartments.

The case concerns the "European" residential complex in Vinnytsia and its developer, Victoria Halitska. At the time, the defrauded individuals filed a report with the police.

A search revealed that Halitska owns real estate worth millions of dollars. However, the fraudster had prudently registered the properties in the names of trusted individuals. She also owns vehicles and regularly visits expensive resorts.

Yet she is in no hurry to return the money to the victims. Initially, Halitska promised that the residential complex would eventually be completed. However, over time, she reneged on her word. Subsequently, she stated that she could finish the construction if local authorities allocated her new land plots. She would collect more money from other people for the construction of new residential complexes and use those funds to complete the previous buildings of the "European" complex. In other words, she would effectively defraud new apartment buyers as well.

Despite the available evidence, the court subsequently lifted the seizure of Halitska's accounts and assets. The decision was made by Judge Ihor Vyshar.

The decision shocked the victims. In total, 620 families were harmed by the developer, losing their money and the chance to receive an apartment in return. Halitska herself successfully evaded responsibility and continued to live for her own pleasure.

Now, Halitska has returned to the public arena. She is actively giving interviews and positioning herself as a successful businesswoman. The woman does not even mention the defrauded investors.
