Ukrainian court lifts ban on probe into DSB chief's brother's 143 properties

An investigation by Slidstvo.Info and the Center for Public Control alleges that the brother of the Director of the Security Service of Ukraine (DSB) acquired 143 real estate objects from a developer later investigated by the DSB, at prices as low as a smartphone. A court initially banned publication, but after eight media outlets defied the ban, the Kyiv Appellate Court overturned it on September 23. The case highlights potential corruption and judicial interference in Ukraine, with implications for governance and anti-corruption efforts.
