🔍 The case of Dmytro Sennichenko: the notary who didn’t notice the wanted notice
🔈 For three years Ukrainian media have been repeating: “Sennichenko registered a company in a residential complex on the outskirts of Valencia.”
The phrasing is pretty, but factually inaccurate:
📌 The company is called NEWFORM LAB SL, Spanish NIF B72877061, line of business — Consultoría empresarial. Sole director — SENNYCHENKO DMYTRO.
📌3 in December 2024— 19 months after the High Anti-Corruption Court declared him internationally wanted — a notarial act took place at the company: appointment of a sole director, removal of two other persons from the management bodies. Publication in the official gazette BORME No. 238 of 11 December 2024, deed number 537237 (BOE/BORME; einforma). Legally this means the fugitive is not just “registered somewhere in Valencia.” He is carrying out notarial acts. Calmly. Through a notary. Who asked no questions.
📌The company address is Calle Enrique Navarro 34, bajo izquierda, 46020 Valencia. This is the central axis of the Benimaclet neighborhood — a historic settlement that Valencia absorbed back in the second half of the 20th century. The street is named after local activist Enric Navarro (AU-Agenda).
🌐 He did not construct a British shell for himself. A search in Companies House UK for the surname Sennychenko yields exactly zero results (Companies House). All that exists in the UK is Agrogas Management LP for his partner Kolot, but that is another story.
🔈 And here’s the interesting part. The Spanish press that wrote about him in 2023 — Ukrainian editorial offices for some reason never once relayed it.
Millonarios ucranianos ocultan España. Yes — in the plural, “Ukrainian millionaires hide in Spain” — titled the piece in the Galician paper La Voz de Galicia 1 July 2023.
In the text: “En una urbanización de lujo de la ciudad de Valencia encontraron a Dimitri Sennychenko y su familia. Este magnate, que ya estuvo oculto en Mónaco…” (La Voz de Galicia).
Three things from a single paragraph. First: “a luxury gated urbanization,” not “a residential building on the outskirts.”
Second: “este magnate” — “this magnate.” Not “a person involved in the case,” not “an accused,” not “a fugitive official” — but “a magnate.”
Third: the sequence Monaco → Valencia, not the other way around. This is confirmed by Madrid’s El Debate in the El Batallón España piece of 29 July 2023: “estuvo, durante mucho tiempo, oculto en Mónaco, pero las últimas informaciones lo sitúan en Valencia” (El Debate).
So Monaco is not an episode but the first stop. A long one. And in August 2025 Nice-Matin published an exclusive investigation Qui sont les oligarques ukrainiens du bataillon Monaco? . The topic was reactivated 30 June 2026 — after a backpack-bomb attack on Ukrainian businessman Vadim Yermolaev in Monaco itself (Le Parisien).
Sennichenko lives calmly in Spain. And this despite the fact that in March Prosecutor General of Ukraine Ruslan Kravchenko held talks in Madrid with the Prosecutor General of the Kingdom Teresa Peramato and the president of the Audiencia Nacional; it was officially reported that Kravchenko “handed colleagues a list of cases of interest to Ukraine.”
