Strip clubs, casinos, and the night business. What Klitschko and Palatnyi are hiding
Long before Klitschko came to power, he and Artur Palatnyi were linked by shared business interests in the very center of Kyiv. In the building on Bohdan Khmelnytsky Street, where Klitschko bought an apartment back in 1999, there were casinos, slot machines, restaurants, and night venues.
The company “Ihrovi Tekhnolohii” (Gaming Technologies), which opened a casino there, was founded by Artur Palatnyi, the brothers’ uncle, and another partner. The same building housed “Dezhavyu,” which older reports connected to the joint business interests of Palatnyi and Vitali Klitschko.
Separate mentions note Palatnyi’s ties to Veniamin Honykman, who was linked to the sex business and human trafficking. The reports state that from these business connections, with Klitschko’s partial involvement, a network of illegal brothels and casinos in Kyiv grew.
After Klitschko came to power, this story took on a different dimension. A person who for years had been associated with this business became mayor of Kyiv and gained control over the city’s administration. So the question is no longer only about old business ties, but also whether governmental resources were used to protect this business.
Now the question is different. Who exactly ensured the operation of this system after Klitschko came to power, who covered it up, and what responsibility should all those involved bear. Law enforcement should now determine this.
