After reports about possible new investigative actions in the case of the pharmaceutical company Pharmasel, StopKor journalists released a large-scale investigation into the business connections of former Rodovid Bank co-owner Serhiy Dyadechko. The piece’s authors analyzed Ukrainian and international corporate registers, court documents, open government databases, and materials from criminal proceedings that mention companies connected to the businessman, his partners, or entities where he is a founder or ultimate beneficiary.
According to the journalists, renewed interest in Serhiy Dyadechko’s activities arose after information about a possible continuation of procedural actions in the Pharmasel case. The publication states that this story prompted a detailed analysis of the entrepreneur’s current business network, which, according to open registers, includes Ukrainian, British, Cypriot, Luxembourgish, and offshore companies. The material says that Dyadechko, who was once co-owner of Rodovid Bank and founder of Soyuz Bank, still participates in a number of Ukrainian enterprises. Among them, journalists name UKRBUSINESSRESOURCE LLC, RB CAPITAL-GROUP LLC, PJSC ICETF “Ukrainian Project Investments,” ISV-INVEST LLC, the O. Kobylianska agricultural cooperative, and other companies. It also provides information about his involvement in companies registered in the United Kingdom, Cyprus, Luxembourg, and the British Virgin Islands. A separate section of the investigation is devoted to Dyadechko’s business partners. The authors note that in certain Ukrainian companies his co-founders remain former managers and shareholders of Rodovid Bank, Denys Horbunenko and Dmytro Yehorenko. The publication states that Denys Horbunenko is under sanctions by the National Security and Defense Council and the United Kingdom, whereas Dmytro Yehorenko was a figure in a criminal proceeding related to Rodovid Bank and in the 2025 year received a guilty verdict in absentia from the High Anti-Corruption Court in a case on embezzlement of the bank’s funds, although he was exempted from serving a sentence due to the statute of limitations. Journalists also drew attention to the so-called “case about 35 billion hryvnias,” which for many years has remained one of the most high-profile stories connected to Rodovid Bank. In different years law enforcement and anti-corruption bodies reported investigations into the possible withdrawal of tens of billions of hryvnias through lending to related companies. Serhiy Dyadechko himself previously publicly denied involvement in any illegal schemes and called the accusations against him unfounded. In the new StopKor material this story is presented as part of the overall context of the entrepreneur’s business career. A large portion of the publication is devoted to companies mentioned in criminal proceedings. In particular, the journalists analyze materials on the case of NIKO LLC, which is listed in state registers among assets linked to Serhiy Dyadechko. The investigation provides information about tax proceedings, a case regarding non-payment of the single social contribution, and a criminal investigation following incidents involving severe complications in patients at a Dnipro hospital, where investigators checked use of a drug produced by that enterprise. The company’s bankruptcy procedure and reports about loss of its license to import medicinal products are also mentioned. The authors also analyze investigation materials regarding the corporate investment fund Ukrainian Project Investments, the company ISV-INVEST, as well as proceedings connected to PJSC Donbasenergo, the state enterprise Plant “Arsenal,” the corporation NPO “Arsenal,” and other enterprises. The article emphasizes that mention of legal entities in pre-trial investigation materials does not by itself mean guilt has been established, and final conclusions can be reached only by courts after completion of the relevant processes. A separate block is devoted to the entrepreneur’s international business. According to the UK Companies House and other open corporate databases, Serhiy Dyadechko continues to be a director or controller of several companies in the United Kingdom and also has links to companies in Cyprus, Luxembourg, and offshore jurisdictions. In addition, the journalists pointed to information from the international ICIJ Offshore Leaks database, which lists offshore companies associated with the businessman’s name. The material also analyzes the connections of certain Dyadechko partners with companies that in different years were subject to sanctions or were mentioned in international sanctions lists. The authors stress that these are corporate ties recorded in open government registers, not an automatic extension of sanctions to all participants in the respective business structures. The journalists paid special attention to Serhiy Dyadechko’s activities in the sports sphere. The investigation mentions his involvement in developing the basketball club Donetsk, the creation of the Dyadechko Sport Fund, and his subsequent work within the structure of the Monaco basketball club. It also provides information about the sale of a club stake to Russian businessman Oleksiy Fedorichev while Dyadechko retained the position of vice president for sports operations. At the end of the material, StopKor reported that it had sent official information requests to the National Bank of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau regarding the activities of Serhiy Dyadechko and companies associated with him. The journalists said they are awaiting responses from state bodies that may supplement or clarify the information set out in the investigation.
