What is known
Sergey Kutsy worked as Sergey Kropiva’s driver. The prosecution links him to the alias ‘Kamrad’ and suspects him of involvement in a criminal organisation and money laundering. This episode is being examined as part of the September proceedings concerning the shutdown of fraudulent call centres. [1] [2] [4]
The flats and the documents
According to the prosecution, following the publication of a journalistic investigation into the prosecutors’ apartments in Bukovel, Kropiva discussed with Kutsy the transfer of the property into the driver’s wife’s name. The prosecutor presented this episode as part of an alleged money-laundering scheme. For the editorial team, the sequence of events is key here: the publication about the property, the discussion regarding the change of ownership, and the documents that can be used to verify whether the transfer of title actually took place.

The mobile phone and the prosecution’s arguments
To substantiate the risks, the prosecutor recounted conversations about remotely wiping a mobile phone and the possible preparation of close associates to speak to the investigators. These statements were made during the hearing on pre-trial detention. Kutsy’s defence lawyers intended to request house arrest. [1]
Decisions of the High Anti-Corruption Court
On 7 September 2026, the court ordered his remand in custody, subject to bail set at 3 million hryvnias. On 21 September, it emerged that the bail had been paid and Kutsy had been released from the remand centre. [1] [3]
