Detectives of the Bureau of Economic Security in Kyiv have seized a complex with an area of more than 6.7 thousand square meters in the city center, as well as UAH 291 million in the accounts of a company controlled by a sanctioned oligarch. This is reported by UNN with reference to the BEB.
Details
The BEB does not name the oligarch, but from the description it is clear that it is Konstantin Zhevago.
The businessman and former people's deputy is hiding abroad. He was previously put on the international wanted list. In addition, sanctions have been applied to him in accordance with the decision of the National Security and Defense Council. Despite this, the oligarch continued to conduct business in Ukraine.
Detectives found that in order to circumvent sanctions and legalize property, he organized the re-registration of property rights to controlled companies.
In particular, in order to maintain control over the property complex and avoid confiscation, the defendant involved former top managers of his bankrupt bank "Finance and Credit". By re оформing the property in this way, he tried to keep it in his actual possession.
In order to preserve the property for further transfer to state ownership, detectives of the Territorial Department of the BEB in Kyiv seized it.
Let us remind you
The High Anti-Corruption Court chose a preventive measure for the owner of the "Finance and Credit" group Kostyantyn Zhevago, who is a suspect in the case of the ex-chairman of the Supreme Court, in the form of заочного arrest.
