The journalists of "In the Shadow of the Chestnut" have investigated the fate of notorious capital officials

This year, Kyiv has witnessed numerous high-profile arrests, investigations, searches, and suspicions involving top city officials. However, the issue of holding accountable those officials who have been implicated in sensational journalistic investigations concerning corruption schemes and illicit enrichment remains unresolved.

What has happened to the "heroes" of such reports — this and more is discussed in the final episode of the YouTube project “In the Shadow of the Chestnut”.

Specifically, the journalists have taken on the task of investigating and reporting on the fate of former head of the Kyiv Metro, Viktor Braginsky, ex-director of Kyivpastrans, Dmytro Levchenko, and the deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration for self-government powers, Volodymyr Prokopiv.

Where are these individuals now? Which of the three is actually still in office? What do they stand out for during their time in city government?

You can learn more about this in the new episode of “In the Shadow of the Chestnut”.
