Kharkiv migration mafia in the capital: from multi‑million schemes of the Central Migration Department of the State Migration Service to direct threats of physical violence
#нампишуть that after the liquidation of the Main Directorate of the State Migration Service of Kyiv and the region, the capital's Central Migration Department was headed by Huz, who brought a proven Kharkiv group to Kyiv: Lemesha nicknamed Khomyak, Ihor Semynoh, Akop Arustamov, and Bohdan Yakovenko. ❗️They are all well known in the smuggling and criminal circles of the region, where Yakovenko oversaw illegal migration and human trafficking.
In the capital this group gained new scale under the cover of young SBU supervisors — Maksym Kondrakhin, Rostyslav Hladkyi, and Ivan #Іщенко. For monthly 💰10 thousand dollars they guaranteed complete absence of claims from the security services. A separate direction was Yuliia Kran, who at her 30 years and with only three years of experience headed the Sviatoshyn division of the Central Migration Department. Her sector became a conveyor belt for producing fake internal and foreign passports.
📌At the same time, legalization of foreigners brought in over 10 million dollars in cash each year through the sale of temporary and permanent residence permits. The capital's markets where foreigners work were also taxed, collecting up to 50 thousand dollars from them each month. The scheme was covered at the highest level by the SBU deputy head of the Economic Security and Anti-Corruption Department, Salenkov — Huz’s godfather, who for 50 thousand dollars a month blocked any inspections.
Naumenko, Kovalevska and Barikashvili also figure in this system. With the earned millions, the group bought luxury real estate in Spain for 1,5 million euros, properties in Kyiv and Kharkiv for 4 million dollars, and also accumulated cryptocurrency and accounts in European banks.
🔻Illustrative is the fate of Akop Arustamov, who rose from a court secretary to head of the foreigners’ department, but was caught for bribery, luxury cars, property and cryptocurrency.
The situation took an especially dangerous turn after our investigation was published. SBU officer Ishchenko began open terror from his personal number. 👇More than 20 people have already confirmed incidents of calls and messages with threats. Ishchenko openly states that he will fabricate cases under articles 111 and 332 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, threatens imprisonment in pretrial detention and promises to seize property, calling himself the authority and citizens scum.
