On the night of 22 January, the country house of Concorde Capital founder Ihor Mazepa burned down in Kartovetske village, Chernihiv region.
According to Censor.NET, LB.ua reports this with reference to its own sources.
According to preliminary reports, no one was injured in the fire. The businessman's house was equipped with surveillance cameras, which will be used to establish the exact cause of the fire.
The building was equipped with surveillance systems, so the cause of the fire is currently being established.
According to the Main Police Department in Chernihiv region, the fire was allegedly caused by a design flaw and violations of the rules for installing heating stoves and chimneys.
"The pre-trial investigation is ongoing. Necessary examinations will be ordered to establish the circumstances and causes of the fire," the police added.
Earlier it was reported that the State Bureau of Investigation detained Ukrainian businessman Ihor Mazepa, founder of the investment company Concorde Capital, on 18 January while he was crossing the Ukrainian-Polish border.
Later, law enforcement officers reported that Mazepa was suspected of creating a criminal organisation and seizing 7 hectares of land near the Kyiv HPP. It was established that it consisted of almost 20 people.
Concorde Capital denies the allegations.
Ihor Mazepa stated that he did not understand the grounds for his detention, as he did not personally make the decision to allocate the land plots.
On 19 January, the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv imposed a preventive measure on the director of Concorde Capital, Ihor Mazepa, in the form of detention until 27 February with the possibility of posting UAH 349 million bail.
On 20 January, Yuriy Mazepa, the brother of previously arrested businessman Ihor Mazepa, was taken into custody with the alternative of bail in the amount of UAH 44 million.
According to Andriy Gerus ("Servant of the People"), chairman of the Verkhovna Rada's Energy Committee, the SBI's statements regarding the land involved in the case of businessman Ihor Mazepa, that its development allegedly threatened the functioning of the Kyiv HPP, are not true - the land was not owned by the Kyiv HPP, is located 8 km away from it and does not pose a threat to the functioning of Kyiv's critical infrastructure. According to the MP, such statements by the SBI are a creative approach, but not a legal one.
