Sons of Chernihiv judge Osedach have had apartments and used a ‘humanitarian’ Audi since childhood — investigation
The sons of Mykola Osedach, a judge at the Chernihiv Court of Appeal, own apartments in Chernihiv, estimated to be worth over 10 million hryvnias, while they reside abroad. One of the sons became the owner of real estate at the age of 6, and the other left for Poland in early 2022 and is now traveling the world.
According to the investigation, both of Osedach’s sons received real estate in their childhood. One of them became the owner of a share of the apartment in 2012 at the age of 15, and the other received his share at the age of 6. The total area of their housing exceeds 100 sq. m, and the market value is currently approximately 95-110 thousand dollars.
In 2021, the judge himself purchased a separate apartment with an area of over 40 sq. m, which is estimated at 47 thousand dollars.
Thus, the total value of the family’s listed real estate may exceed 10 million hryvnias.
In addition, Osedach’s son owns an Audi. In the 2016 declarations, this car was identified as “humanitarian aid” used by then-19-year-old Volodymyr Osedach; however, the following year, the car became his personal property.
While the war in Ukraine continues, Mykola Osedach’s sons are in Europe. The eldest son left for Poland in early 2022, an adult at that time, and now lives outside the country.
The investigation revealed that during the war, he visited Warsaw, Chicago, Paris, Batumi, and Munich. Previously, his social media pages, which were later deleted, published photos from his travels, excluding any mention of events in Ukraine.
The younger son is also abroad. The judge states that their departure took place before the start of the large-scale war, and their status allegedly meets the requirements of the Reserve Plus program.
In his declarations, Mykola Osedach indicates that the children rent housing in Poland, although in fact they own luxury apartments in Ukraine.
This situation contrasts with the sentence that the Chernihiv Court of Appeal handed down to businessman Oleg Averyanov, who received seven years in prison for selling his personal car without his wife’s consent. Judges Osedach, Zabolotny, and Antipets dealt with such decisions.
Subsequently, the Supreme Court overturned the sentence against Averyanov, which was declared illegal, and the issue of the transparency of the elite of Ukrainian servants of Themis remains open.
It is worth noting that the daughter of the head of the Chernihiv Court of Appeal, Zabolotny, leads a luxurious life, without mentioning this in her declarations.
