Lviv recovered 1.4 million hryvnias in debt from the controversial businessman, Vasyl Macheus.
The Municipal Property Management Department of Lviv collected 1.4 million UAH in debt from entrepreneur Vasyl Maceus, consisting of inflation losses and 3% annual interest, for the rental of a property at Lesya Ukrainka Street, 15, where his pub "Right Sector" previously operated. The court issued a decision to collect the debt on October 1, 2026.
The Department of Municipal Property of the Lviv City Council announced on November 10 that it had received 1.4 million UAH on its accounts. These funds represent a debt owed by businessman Vasyl Maceus, consisting of 1.119 million UAH in inflation losses and 225,500 UAH in 3% annual interest.
The relevant decision regarding the seizure, which was published in the Unified State Register of Judicial Decisions, was issued on October 1, 2026. Previously, the management's lawyers had secured the debtor's funds and initiated the processing of the enforcement documents, after which the funds were transferred to the budget by a private bailiff.
The court decision states that the defendant repeatedly delayed proceedings and behaved inappropriately. Specifically, he submitted unfounded claims and requests, was impolite towards participants in the legal proceedings, interrupted them, made unfounded accusations, and ignored the instructions of the presiding judge. He also failed to comply with court orders.
In June 2026, the municipal property management department, with the assistance of a private bailiff, recovered 538,000 UAH from Vasyl Macheus for unpaid rent for the premises at Lesya Ukrainka Street, 15, where his pub "Right Sector" previously operated. Following this, the legal department of the department filed a lawsuit to recover inflation losses and 3% annual interest accrued for the entire period of non-compliance with the court decision. This lawsuit was granted by the judge of the Lviv Regional Court, Zoryana Goretska, on October 1. Vasyl Macheus did not pay the rent, so the city council terminated the contract with him. However, the entrepreneur had been using the premises for more than a year before being forcibly evicted in 2018, which led to the accumulation of debt. In 2014, a similar situation with debt and forced eviction from a premises on Rynok Square occurred with the business of Vasily Matheus's wife, Oxana Matheus.
