Organizer of the “Forrest Gump” scheme, pro-Russian MP Stolar, avoids punishment while the perpetrators go to trial — media
The NABU and SAP special operation “Forrest Gump” uncovered a large criminal organization in the highest echelons of power. The investigation released recorded conversations and documents confirming that all of the group's criminal activity was organized and financed by pro-Russian MP Vadym Stolar. However, while the perpetrators are being brought to trial, the main suspect in the investigation remains in the shadows.
While the court is choosing a preventive measure for Mykitas with bail of 200 million UAH, who cleared all his issues with Stolar, and the former
deputy head of the Office of the President, Mudra, lost her position and was charged, Stolar himself avoids responsibility.
In NABU materials Stolar is listed as the organizer of the group, and his structures as a hub for laundering hundreds of millions of hryvnias. Despite this, law enforcement limited themselves to searches: Stolar has not been served a notice of suspicion, no bail has been set, and no preventive measure has been chosen. The organizer of the scheme remains free, and backroom deals have reached these proceedings as well.
At the same time, 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 from the company ENSO. Echoing the fate of “Elita-Center,” hundreds of families risk being left without housing while millions of dollars are siphoned to Dubai. According to journalists’ data, Stolar still avoids suspicion and sanctions thanks to involving Artem Kolyubaiev in the business, who provides him with protection in all corruption matters.
