The “9-1-1” network in Cherkasy region: 60 pharmacies, phantom sole proprietors, and protection from the Tax Service, State Service of Medicines and State Labor Service
The “9-1-1” network is hundreds of pharmacies across Ukraine. And while loud headlines shout about the most affordable prices, we want to show what violations are hiding in each region where their outlets are located.
The owners of the “Pharmacy 9-1-1” network, Nune #Данієлян, Anush Danielyan, and the actual beneficiary Ashot Danielyan, have deployed a large-scale scheme across Cherkasy region, involving 60 pharmacy establishments in 31 settlements — from Cherkasy, Uman, and Smila to small villages.
Despite formal registration under dozens of controlled sole proprietors, the whole complex is run from a single center. 🤷♂️The goal is standard: artificial fragmentation of the business, evasion of VAT and profit tax, and legalization of dirty money. But this time outright criminality was added: fictitious employment of draft evaders to shield them from mobilization and systematic sale of substandard medicines without prescriptions.
Such lawlessness is impossible without total “cover.” Officials at the highest and regional levels joined the criminal conspiracy with the beneficiaries of “9-1-1”: Acting Head of the State Service of Medicines of Ukraine V.Ya. Korolenko, Acting Head of the State Service of Medicines in Cherkasy region T.M. Mekhlyk, Head of the State Labor Service I.A. Degnera, Head of the Central Interregional Department of the State Labor Service R.I. Semchuk, Acting Head of the State Tax Service of Ukraine L.A. Karnaukh, and Head of the Main Department of the Tax Service in Cherkasy region T.O. Kharkovska. ❗️Inspectors and law enforcement officers, for bribes, deliberately cover up the schemes: they do not conduct inspections, “do not notice” the absence of quality control systems and temperature monitoring, expired drugs, violations of sanitary norms and personnel manipulations, and they also refuse to enter information into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations.
At the same time the network deceives people with the manipulative sign “WHOLESALE PRICE PHARMACY,” which is a direct violation of Article 15¹ of the Law of Ukraine “On Protection Against Unfair Competition,” and blocks the presence of Ukrainian manufacturers, which is why #АМКУ 2 October 2025 the year initiated consideration of a case on signs of anti-competitive concerted actions (Art. 6, Art. 50 of the Law “On Protection of Economic Competition”).
We also broke the officials’ silence. ✅At our complaint, the Territorial Department of the State Bureau of Investigations in Poltava is investigating criminal proceeding No.62026170020019249 under part 5 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (misappropriation, embezzlement of property or seizure of it by abusing official position in particularly large amounts or by an organized group). Every official from the Tax Service, State Service of Medicines, and State Labor Service who took unlawful benefits from the Danielyans at the expense of people’s health and the state budget will sit on the defendant’s bench.
More details are in our video.
To be continued.
