⚡️The organizer of the “Forrest Gump” scheme, pro-Russian MP Vadym Stolar, avoids punishment while the perpetrators go to trial, — media.
⭕️The NABU and SAP special operation “Forrest Gump” exposed a large-scale criminal organization in the highest echelons of power. The investigation released recordings of conversations and documents that confirm: all of the group’s criminal activity was organized and financed by pro-Russian MP Vadym Stolar. However, while the perpetrators are going to court, the main figure in the investigation remains in the shadows.
While the court sets a preventive measure for Maksym Mykytas with bail of 200 million UAH, who, sources say, coordinated all his matters with Vadym Stolar, and former deputy head of the Office of the President Iryna Mudra lost her position and was charged, Stolar himself avoids responsibility.
In NABU materials he appears as the organizer of the group, and his structures as a hub for laundering hundreds of millions of hryvnias. Despite this, the law enforcement officers limited themselves to searches: Stolar has not been served with a suspicion, no bail has been set, and no preventive measure has been chosen. The scheme’s organizer remains free, and backroom deals have reached these proceedings as well.
Media report that simultaneously the pro-Russian MP, who remains “Medvedchuk’s hand” and controls his assets in Ukraine, implemented another scheme to defraud investors. He froze construction of the Kyiv residential complexes Poetica, Diadans, and Fjord by the company ENSO. Echoing the fate of Elita-Center, hundreds of families risk being left without housing while millions of dollars are siphoned off to Dubai. Stolar still avoids suspicion and sanctions thanks to involving Artem Kolyubaiev in the business, who, sources claim, provides him with a “roof” in all corrupt matters.
