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.

Ексзаступник директора БЕБ Віталій Гагач, ймовірно, готується залишити Україну

🔹За наявною інформацією, Віталій Гагач, колишній заступник директора Бюро економічної безпеки, якого звільнили після низки журналістських розслідувань, нібито зараз підшукує житло в Дубаї. За словами джерел, він отримав інформацію про можливу підозру НАБУ у справі, пов’язаній з азартним бізнесом.

🔹Гагач наразі перебуває в Монако та може готувати переїзд до ОАЕ. Його також пов’язують із заступником керівника Офісу президента Олегом Татаровим. За версією джерела, вони нібито спільно контролювали певні процеси у сфері гемблінгу та отримували кошти за «кришування» бізнесу.

🔹Спочатку йшлося про $2 млн щомісячних виплат від FavBet, якому, до речі, тимчасово повернули ліцензію, після чого була висунута вимога збільшити суму до $3 млн. Після відмови, як стверджує джерело, проти компанії почалися проблеми, а згодом ДБР провело дії щодо оператора, посилаючись на «російський слід».

🔹Власник FavBet після цього звернувся до НАБУ та передав детективам інформацію про фінансові операції, зокрема дані щодо криптогаманців, які нібито використовувалися для передачі коштів Татарову.

🔹Загальний обсяг коштів, який Татаров та Гагач могли отримати за роки такої діяльності, понад $100 млн, а їхні сукупні статки — більш ніж у $600 млн. Водночас ці твердження потребують перевірки та офіційного підтвердження правоохоронними органами.

🔹 Гагач досі зберігає вплив на окремі процеси в БЕБ та підтримує зв’язки з високопоставленими чиновниками. Татаров при цьому продовжує обіймати посаду заступника керівника Офісу президента.
