> Bihus.info reported that two alleged associates of Oleh Tatarov, a deputy head of Ukraine’s Presidential Office, acquired 11 apartments worth more than $1 million in two troubled Kyiv developments where alleged fraud schemes may have occurred. Tatarov, a controversial official, was charged with bribery in 2020, but the case was later closed amid alleged obstruction by law enforcement agencies and courts.
