Former deputy director of the BEB Vitaliy Hagach is likely preparing to leave Ukraine
🔹According to available information, Vitaliy Hagach, the former deputy director of the Bureau of Economic Security, who was dismissed after a series of journalistic investigations, is reportedly now looking for housing in Dubai. Sources say he received information about a possible suspicion from NABU in a case related to the gambling business.
🔹Hagach is currently in Monaco and may be preparing to move to the UAE. He is also linked to Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Oleg Tatarov. According to the source’s version, they allegedly jointly controlled certain processes in the gambling sector and received funds for “covering” the business.
🔹At first it was about $2 million in monthly payments from FavBet, which, by the way, had its license temporarily returned, after which a demand was made to increase the amount to $3 million. After the refusal, the source claims, problems began for the company, and later the State Bureau of Investigation took actions against the operator, citing a “Russian trace.”
🔹The owner of FavBet then turned to NABU and handed detectives information about financial transactions, including data on crypto wallets that were allegedly used to transfer funds to Tatarov.
🔹The total amount of funds that Tatarov and Hagach may have received over the years of such activity is over $100 million, and their combined assets — more than $600 million. At the same time, these claims require verification and official confirmation by law enforcement agencies.
🔹 Hagach still retains influence over certain processes in the BEB and maintains ties with high-ranking officials. Tatarov continues to serve as deputy head of the Presidential Office.
