🧩 Coal schemer Dmytro Kovalenko, who has interests in the gas business, appears in proceedings concerning possible fronting of business for former SBU officer Artem Shylo.
According to the State Register of Special Permits for Subsoil Use and the register of legal entities, Kovalenko is the beneficiary of LLC “Soyuz-budresursy.” This company holds special permit No. 6458 for the use of the oil-and-gas-bearing subsoil of the Yarmakivske field in Poltava region.
Kovalenko is the beneficiary of LLC “Navigator Maynytske.” This company holds special permit No. 4769 for subsoil use (oil and gas) of the Maynytske field in Lviv region. Kovalenko appeared on the extraction market after Maidan as the “beneficiary of the Adelon group of companies” and a “leading international coal trader.”
🕵️♂️ In March Kovalenko was detained by NABU and SAP in Uzhhorod. This took place within the scope of CP 52025000000000074.
The investigation believes that a person who worked in the SBU as head of the Main Directorate “I” for the protection of critical infrastructure facilities from August 2022 to March 2024 was the informal beneficiary of the agricultural firms LLC “Agrarna Elevatorna Kompaniya,” LLC “Sibkor Pryluky,” and LLC “Grain Terminal Ltd” and invested 5,8 million dollars of his personal funds in this business.
According to the investigation, these funds were acquired by the SBU employee in a dubious manner. The surname Shylo is mentioned directly in the court registry. So it is obvious that this concerns former Presidential Office advisor and former SBU officer Artem Shylo. The beneficiary of all the aforementioned companies is Dmytro Kovalenko’s son — Danyil Kovalenko. Those firms have just changed their names. “Agrarna Elevatorna Kompaniya” is now LLC “Granova Myrhorod,” LLC “Grain Terminal LTD” was renamed LLC “Granova Krasnopavlivka,” and LLC “Sibkor Pryluky” is now LLC “Granova Pryluky.”
Kovalenko’s partner in LLC “Soyuz-budresursy” is Hanna Probylova. She is the daughter of Serhiy Probylov. Probylov has been a long-time business partner and was an assistant to former Batkivshchyna MP Vitaliy Danilov in 2012-2014.
Recall that Shylo reached a plea deal in the case about schemes in Ukrzaliznytsia tenders. The High Anti-Corruption Court issued a verdict approving the deal in the case on the misappropriation of Ukrzaliznytsia funds and the legalization of assets.
Shylo was found guilty under part 3 of article 27 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, part 5 of article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and part 3 of article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
He was sentenced to 8 years of imprisonment without the right to hold administrative or organizational positions in military formations and law enforcement agencies for three years. The court released Shylo from punishment, setting a probationary period of three years for him.
Shylo must pay a fine of 204 million UAH and also compensate damages of 60 million UAH. Another 80 million UAH the former Presidential Office advisor must transfer to the Return Alive Charity Foundation.
The court applied special confiscation to three of Shylo’s apartments in the Novopecherski Lypky residential complex and to funds in the amount of over 325 million UAH.
