Converter “Stakan” and a raider scheme for 66 million hryvnias
Well-known Kyiv cash-out operator Ihor Stakovichenko “Stakan,” together with his wife Olena, raided a warehouse in Zaporizhzhia and unlawfully received VAT refunds, causing damage to the state of 66 million hryvnias. The scheme targeted the joint LLC “Production and Consumer Association ‘Nadiia ltd’.” How was the warehouse complex at Serhii Senenko (Kremlivska) Street, 73-b in Zaporizhzhia, stripped of assets?
“Stakan,” by power of attorney from his wife, recommends the other founder Kuzmenko O.A. and appoints Kharyv Volodymyr Yaroslavovych (a pound from Lviv region) to the position of director 31 March 2016. In July of the following year the participants forge a meeting protocol together with the co-owner’s signature and a signature with the seal of private notary of the Kyiv City Notarial District Rotach Iryna Ivanivna. Next follows a forgery of Kuzmenko’s signature on the purchase–sale agreement for a share in the charter capital, which makes the converter the sole owner.
Director Kharyv buys out 100% share of Nadiia Olha Borysivna in LLC “Smart Scape,” while she remains in the position of director of that enterprise. By protocol, a building of 5762,4 sq.m. that was owned by VST “Nadiia ltd” is transferred as an increase in Smart Scape’s capital by 325 million UAH. Then Olha Stakovichenko sells the company to Kharyv for 6,15 million hryvnias.
“Smart Scape” surfaced in illegal tobacco turnover with a total scheme turnover of 6,7 billion UAH with LLC “Unikors” (EDRPOU: 41010559), moreover the tobacco business was linked to Stakovichenko I.S. In general this scheme is associated with a “twisting” company.
At the end of August, “Smart Scape,” represented by director Nadiia, transfers the building as an increase in the charter capital of LLC “Marles ltd” by 325 million UAH. Thus “Smart Scape” becomes the owner of “Marles ltd,” where the ultimate beneficiary is Kharyv. In April 2018 he becomes the director. In November the building is transferred to LLC “Ist Group Ukraine” to increase its charter capital by 33,3 million hryvnias. In September 2020 the director of “Ist Group Ukraine,” Viktor Ruslanovych Smolianik, signs with Kyslova Valeriia Serhiivna a purchase–sale agreement of real estate in favor of LLC “Halychyna Spektr” for 396 million hryvnias.
Proceeding No. 12023082050001169 was opened by the Zaporizhzhia police in the summer of 2023 under part 3 of article 358 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. A forensic handwriting examination was conducted, based on which the expert of the Zaporizhzhia Scientific-Research Forensic Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs issued conclusion No. CE-19/108-23/13190-PCH dated 30.08.2023, which established that the signatures on behalf of the applicant (Kuzmenko) “were made by another person by imitating the signature.”
But 14.02.2024 the case was requisitioned by the Office of the Prosecutor General supposedly to study the status of the pretrial investigation and for unknown reasons, according to the resolution dated 02.07.2024 of Deputy Prosecutor General Ihor Mustetsa, on the basis of part 5 of article 36 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, further pretrial investigation was entrusted to investigators of the Main Investigation Department of the National Police. In reality the investigation has been practically suspended. The victim was not notified for what reasons and on what basis the jurisdiction was changed.
