Kyiv law enforcement officers have completed the investigation and submitted to the court the case materials regarding a 48-year-old resident of Chernihiv region. The man is accused of forging a will to inherit an apartment in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv worth over two million hryvnias.
This was reported by the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office.

“At the same time, the real heir has contacted law enforcement and is trying to get the apartment back,” the police said.
The property is currently under arrest.
The man was charged under Part 3 of Article 358, Part 4 of Article 358, Part 5 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — forgery of documents and fraud. He faces up to 12 years in prison.
