In Kyiv, an abandoned house near the Salyut hotel was arrested due to Zhevago

On April 1, the Holosiivskyi District Court of Kyiv seized the historic building of the Military-Mykolaiv Monastery Hotel in the center of Kyiv. This was reported in the court registry .

The specialized publication Court Reporter was the first to report on the arrest of the building.

The arrest was imposed in criminal proceedings No. 72025171020000028 on the legalization of property (Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code) and is related to a possible attempt to maintain control over the property complex through suspicious financial transactions.

The building at 11 Mazepa Street in Kyiv has been on the state register since 2008 as a monument of architecture and urban planning of local importance – "The Building of the Hotel of the Military Nicholas Monastery". In the 1910s, the diocesan architect Yevhen Yermakov built the building for the Church of St. Nicholas the Great as a rental house. During the First World War, the building housed a military school, and under Hetman Pavlo Skoropadsky, it housed the Military Ministry of the Ukrainian State. Next to the sold building is the Salyut Hotel, which was recently sued by the National Bank in Zhevago .

The building belongs to ZV Realty, a company associated with sanctioned businessman Konstantin Zhevago, which bought it in December 2017 from the Deposit Guarantee Fund during the sale of assets of the bankrupt Delta Bank PJSC.

In 2021, the building was sold at auction again – this time due to ZV Realty's debts to the tire company PJSC Rosava. The winner of the auction did not buy the house, and three years later this right was transferred to Tikvel Company LLC.

In March 2025, PrivatBank reported to the State Financial Monitoring Service that this company made a suspicious transfer in the amount of UAH 291.98 million with the purpose of payment "funds for the purchase of SETAM."

The State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine checked the payment and identified a number of "suspicious indicators": connection with persons under Ukrainian sanctions, concealment of the true purpose of the payment, the confusing nature of the founding relationships, inconsistency of financial transactions with official income, and a change of the beneficial owner immediately after the financial transaction.

After that, BEB and the prosecutor's office asked the court to seize the building.

The court granted the petition and prohibited the alienation, disposal, and use. Any registration actions regarding this object are also prohibited.
