The All-Ukrainian Park of Memory of the Fighters for Freedom and Independence of Ukraine was supposed to be built on the site of the sports complex, instead they built a restaurant and cottages.
This was reported by the press service of the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI).
According to the investigation, the organizers illegally used 10 hectares of community land for the construction of buildings. This happened with the assistance of one of the active advisers of the Kyiv mayor.

However, objects that were not provided for in the agreement were built on the territory of the park. On 15 land plots with an area of more than 10 hectares, the company has built about 80 real estate objects. In particular, instead of the designated sports grounds, the association built a restaurant and cottages.
