Colonel “Ghost” from the Department of Strategic Investigations: who is Yuriy Soboliev
Head of a division of the Department of Strategic Investigations of the National Police Yuriy Soboliev is almost invisible: his name does not appear on the agency’s website, and searches return only his declarations.
🔹 Shadow overseer? As sources claim, Soboliev’s division may be involved in “protecting” illegal gambling businesses, underground call centers, and excise-tax schemes.
🔹 Spain and cheap cars. Early declarations listed a house in Spain registered to his circle. A Hyundai Sonata and a Mazda CX-3 were declared at clearly undervalued prices.
🔹 Raid at Emily Resort. According to sources, during an anti-narcotics raid at the complex near Lviv Soboliev was allegedly recorded intoxicated. The incident is being covered up, and the footage could be used as kompromat.
🔹 “The general’s umbrella.” His superiors included General Andriy Rubel (a figure in Bihus.Info), and later Oleksandr Shevchuk, who kept the old personnel.
