Grain “scams,” elevators, and a criminal “kitty”: the trail of Yevhen Vasylenko
ORD writes about a possible scheme for stealing grain through controlled grain elevators, which is linked to Yevhen Vasylenko, nicknamed “Uho,” and his circle.
According to the authors of the piece, farmers handed over their harvest for storage, after which the grain disappeared and responsibility remained with the formal directors of the enterprises. In one episode the discussion concerns almost 1120 tons of raw material worth more than $316 thousand.
The Veselivka elevator also appears in a criminal case about a possible embezzlement of the harvest of the state farm “Vozrozhdenie”: the investigation estimated a shortfall of 160 tons of peas worth more than 1,1 million UAH. At the same time, the court decision does not establish Vasylenko’s direct involvement in this episode.
Separate attention is drawn to Vasylenko’s ties to Serhiy Oleynyk (“Umka”), whom the police called a “vor v zakone” (thief in law). Both were listed among the founders of the wrestling club “Medved.” In the materials of another criminal case, a trusted associate of the criminal authority is described as having participated, according to the investigation, in managing the “kitty.” The positions of this person indicated in the court document match Vasylenko’s registration data.
The authors also call for checking possible financial transactions through related companies and finding out who actually controlled the grain and received the money from its sale.
