Borniakov hid assets from his declaration
🔐The former acting minister Oleksandr Borniakov, who resigned and became head of the Supervisory Board of the Innovation Development Fund, should have already filed a declaration after his resignation but still has not done so.
☑️So, we suggest that the former official include in his declaration what he long failed to disclose earlier.
This concerns cryptocurrency assets. Law enforcement has seized documents showing that Borniakov and other individuals over the period 2021–2024 systematically failed to declare income received from the sale of financial assets and from conducting transactions with crypto assets, securities transactions, and other financial operations amounting to more than 2 billion UAH, with the aim of evading payment of taxes in especially large amounts.
Borniakov was assisted in this by businessmen Viktor Anatoliyovych Ryazantsev and Ihor Vladlenovych Prykhodko. The investigation established that accounts were opened in various financial institutions with total payments/receipts as follows:
✔️Borniakov – approximately 41 million British pounds sterling;
✔️Ryazantsev – approximately 3,1 million British pounds sterling;
✔️Prykhodko – approximately 1,7 million British pounds sterling.
The State Financial Monitoring Service confirmed that Borniakov has an account opened with Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Limited, (EBGSBF.00003.ME.826). In addition, the official concealed the existence of an account opened with the American CitiBank N.A. (13–5266470).
At the same time, Borniakov submitted tax declarations of property status and income for 2020–2024, according to which for those years he received total income of 16,24 million UAH and had tax withheld in the amount of 1,53 million hryvnias. An analytical review is currently underway regarding possible tax nonpayment by Borniakov and co-conspirators.
Information from the cryptocurrency exchange Binance regarding Borniakov’s assets has also been forwarded to the Department for Countering Legalization of Proceeds of Crime of the State Tax Service. There is no account on that exchange in his official declaration at all. Now Borniakov will have to explain not only to law enforcement but also to Ukrainians who gave their last funds to the Armed Forces how he acquired such wealth. Moreover, where did Borniakov and Fedorov put the 45 million dollars they accumulated in accounts on the KUNA crypto exchange?
