The investigating judge of the Shevchenkivskyi District Court considered the motion filed by D.O. Davydov, head of the First Division of the Kyiv Garrison Military Prosecutor’s Office, and ruled to deny the request to seize the property.

The Shevchenkivskyi District Court considered a motion filed by D.O. Davydov, head of the First Division of the Military Prosecutor’s Office of the Kyiv Garrison, seeking the seizure of property. One of the representatives of the property owners is K.V. Globa, a partner and attorney at BARRISTERS Law Firm.

As part of the criminal proceedings initiated against representatives of the closed joint-stock company “VDM,” the police conducted urgent investigative actions to secure the property. However, the property does not belong to the company but to individuals who rent safes from it. The investigator did not provide any explanation regarding the details or purpose of the seizure and refused to show the order from the prosecutor’s office.

Evidence was presented showing that the safe deposit box renters have no connection to the criminal proceedings, and, according to the investigating judge’s ruling, the search of the company’s premises was to be conducted without the seizure of property.

Pursuant to Articles 2, 7, 98, 131, 170–173, 309, 372, and 376 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, the investigating judge ruled: “To deny the motion filed by D.O. Davydov, head of the First Division of the Military Prosecutor’s Office of the Kyiv Garrison, regarding the seizure of property.”
