Law enforcement confirmed the online casino's ties with representatives of Russia and Russian capital, as well as with entities sanctioned in Ukraine. The business also operated under the cover of entities investigated by the Bureau.
The investigation established that persons associated with online casino activities carry out their business activities in the territory of the so-called “lPR”, thus filling the aggressor's budget. They finance the power bloc, the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation, as well as the armed aggression against Ukraine
In addition, according to the SBI, the person who directly controls the activities of the online casino, after the start of the full-scale invasion, financed the veterans of the so-called “svo”. The casino itself, as noted, continues to operate in Russia and on Russian web resources.
Currently, the Bureau, together with other authorized bodies, is taking measures to recover the funds seized and transferred to the Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA) to the state's revenue.
Recall
The court granted the motion of the SBI and the Prosecutor General's Office to transfer to the ARMA more than UAH 2.6 billion (the total amount of the seized funds , including profitable financial transactions) seized on the accounts of an online casino associated with representatives of the aggressor state. At the same time, the perpetrators even made illegal and unsuccessful attempts to lift the seizure of the assets transferred to the ARMA.
