Favbet won back its offline license in court that PlayCity had revoked over alleged links between the company’s owner Andriy Matiukha and the Russian Federation.
🔹Among the pieces of evidence handed over to the State Bureau of Investigation were Russian tax identification numbers, a registration address, a photo of a Russian passport, and information about related legal entities in Russia and Belarus.
🔹 However, the court found that there were no supporting documents from Russian registries in the case files, the listed address does not exist, and an expert examination determined that the passport photo depicted a different person. In addition, the Russian company had been liquidated as far back as 2019, and the Belarusian one ceased gambling operations in 2022.
🔹As a result, the evidentiary basis on which the license revocation decision was made proved insufficient for the court. This is how the story with the “evidence” from the State Bureau of Investigation looks.
