How a friendship with Arahamia gives a “green light” to smuggler-cashier Kaufman
The connection between political heavyweight Dmytro #Арахамія and the notorious businessman Borys #Кауфман long ago grew beyond simple lobbying for tobacco interests and turned into an unpunished system of looting state assets. Having gained powerful political protection at the highest level, this tandem calmly controls billion-level flows while the law enforcement system demonstratively turns a blind eye to obvious crimes.
📌A telling example is the years-long battle for the land of the Zhovten sanatorium #Жовтень in Koncha-Zaspa, covering almost eight hectares. The path to seizing this recreational facility ran through the artificial accumulation of multi-million debts, re-registration of the enterprise, and fragmentation of the property through shell structures UBK Kashtan, Vertix-Company and Benefit Offer. The finale of this scheme was the involvement of MOU #ГУР forces under the pretext of allegedly returning the site, which on inspection turned out to be a brutal seizure of the territory in the interests of Kaufman’s business circle with the use of weapons against military personnel.
📌Similar schemes have been built for years around the tobacco market through companies #ТЕДІС Ukraine, Kavton Group and DL Solution, which generated billion-level losses for the state budget, siphoned funds to the Russian Federation and received multi-million fines from #АМКУ. It was here, inside parliament, that the political resource of Servant of the People faction leader David Arahamia was switched on, using his influence to assist tobacco dealers.
This empire is complemented by pharmaceutical distributor #Вента LTD, whose market share sharply increased after Kaufman’s entry despite unclear financial traces and continued operations with the aggressor country. No less cynical is the situation in Odesa, where the takeover of Odesa International Airport caused the city losses of more than one billion hryvnias.
Despite loud suspicions from #НАБУ, the figures continue to evade real responsibility. ✅Our public organization has already sent dozens of complaints and statements to the Office of the Prosecutor General, NABU, the SBI and the BEB, achieving the opening of criminal proceedings, but the investigations have stalled for years due to systemic corruption and total inaction by law enforcement.
While law enforcers pretend to be vigorously active, the Kaufman–Arahamia tandem continues to unimpededly squeeze resources from a country at war, turning power into a personal commercial shield.
