Vynnyk still owes 35,57 million hryvnias to PrivatBank. But this debt was tied to his company Global Concentrate, which at the beginning of 2016 was re-registered to the London-registered BALESTRA LIMITED. And at the end of 2016, when PrivatBank was nationalized, that British company suddenly liquidated itself – after which no one reminded Vynnyk about the debt to Privat anymore. And that’s not surprising, since MP Ivan Vynnyk is part of the presidential faction Solidarity and is part of the authorities that effectively wrote off this obligation for him.
In the parliamentary elections of 2014, Ivan Vynnyk “pressured with buckwheat,” generously distributing food packages to residents of Kakhovka. At the same time, employees of his former aerated concrete plant submitted a collective appeal to several political parties, in which they listed Vynnyk’s “feats” and urged them not to help him hide from the law behind a parliamentary mandate.
Chairman of the parliamentary Committee on National Defense and Security Serhiy Pashynskyi made him the committee’s secretary. And the first thing the two of them “pulled off” was a scheme involving seized oil products of Serhiy Kurchenko. Not only were 80 thousand tons of confiscated fuel sold through the firm Ukrtansnaftoprodukt via shadow schemes, but contraband fuel of dubious quality was also imported into Ukraine and sold under the guise of Kurchenko’s gasoline. It was reported that later Tetiana Chornovol joined Pashynskyi’s and Vynnyk’s new schemes — providing them with support in the media.
Vynnyk found himself a decent, stable income from parliamentary inquiries to higher authorities: the Prosecutor General’s Office, the Interior Ministry, the Ministry of Defense, the SBU, the State Penitentiary Service, etc. For these he allegedly took 10–25 thousand dollars, depending on the task: to vouch for someone under investigation, to arrange a masked raid on someone’s business, or to lobby for a lucrative contract. These illicit earnings are more than enough to maintain the house he built near Kyiv in Vita-Poshtova with an area of 500 sq. m.
