Dinner for €20 thousand on the Riviera: photos leaked online of a meeting between the scandalous owner of “Diamond Pay,” Sigalov, and a sanctioned Russian businessman and an “ES” deputy
“Diamond Pay” owner Maksym Sigalov (known as “Narkomaks”), who is implicated in a case involving illegal gambling, was spotted in France at the same table with sanctioned Russian businessman Dmytro Punin and Dnipro city council deputy from European Solidarity Kamil Prymakov.
The meeting took place at the upscale restaurant La Guerite on the French Riviera. A table there can cost up to €20 thousand. 100 grams of Monroe Beluga caviar costs about €1600, and a bottle of champagne ranges from 500 to 1500 euros.
According to media reports, the group discussed scaling online-casino operations in Ukraine through P2P payments. It is precisely this method that “Narkomaks” for many years used to help dozens of casinos evade taxes and launder funds.
Sigalov himself is named in a criminal case for tax evasion on an especially large scale and the illegal organization of gambling. The court has seized his property.
According to the State Bureau of Economic Security, the company linked to Sigalov, LLC “E-Pay,” reported revenues that were understated by 21,8 billion UAH over two years. This resulted in unpaid corporate income tax of 3,9 billion UAH. More than 1 billion UAH also passed through “Diamond Pay.”
After leaving Ukraine, Sigalov continues to live an active lifestyle abroad, residing in Marbella, Spain. He has repeatedly been seen in a Rolls‑Royce Spectre 2025 year, while his wife drives a Mercedes Brabus with an approximate value of $450 thousand.
