After reports of potential new investigative actions in the case of the pharmaceutical company “FARMASEL,” journalists from StopKor published a large-scale investigation devoted to the business connections of former co-owner of Rodovid Bank, Serhiy Dyadetchko. The authors of the material analyzed Ukrainian and international corporate registries, court documents, open state databases, and materials of criminal proceedings in which companies connected with the businessman, his partners, or structures where he acts as founder or ultimate beneficiary are mentioned.
According to the journalists, the renewed interest in Serhiy Dyadetchko’s activities arose after information about possible continuation of procedural actions in the Farmasel case. The publication notes that this story became the impetus for a detailed analysis of the current business network of the entrepreneur, which, according to open registers, encompasses Ukrainian, British, Cypriot, and offshore companies. The material states that Dyadetchko, who was once co-owner of Rodovid Bank and founder of the Union Bank, remains participant in a number of Ukrainian enterprises. Among them, the journalists name LLC “UKRBIZNESRESURS,” LLC “RB CAPITAL-GROUP,” PJSC “ZNVKIF ‘Ukrainian Project Investments’,” LLC “ISV-INVEST,” the O. Kobilyanskaya named agricultural cooperative, and other companies. It also provides information about his involvement in enterprises registered in the United Kingdom, Cyprus, Luxembourg, and the British Virgin Islands. A separate section of the investigation is devoted to Serhiy Dyadetchko’s business partners. The authors note that in some Ukrainian companies his co-founders remain former managers and shareholders of Rodovid Bank, Denys Horsbunko and Dmytro Yegorenko. The publication states that Denys Horsbunko is under sanctions by the NSDC and the United Kingdom, while Dmytro Yegorenko was a defendant in a criminal case concerning Rodovid Bank and, in 2025, received an in absentia verdict from the High Anti-Corruption Court in a case of bank funds embezzlement, although he was released from serving the sentence due to the expiration of the limitation period. The journalists also drew attention to the so-called “case of 35 billion hryvnias,” which for many years has remained one of the most resonant stories connected with Rodovid Bank. In different years, law enforcement and anti-corruption bodies reported investigations into possible tens of billions of hryvnias being diverted through lending to affiliated companies. Serhiy Dyadetchko himself previously publicly denied involvement in any illegal schemes and called the accusations against him unfounded. In the new StopKor material, this history is presented as part of the overall context of the entrepreneur’s business career development. A significant portion of the publication is devoted to companies mentioned in criminal proceedings. In particular, the journalists analyze the case materials regarding LLC “NIKO,” which is listed in state registries among assets connected with Serhiy Dyadetchko. The investigation provides information about tax proceedings, a case regarding non-payment of the single social contribution, and also a criminal investigation following a case of serious complications in patients at one of the clinics in Dnipro, where the investigation checked the use of a drug produced by this enterprise. The article separately mentions the bankruptcy procedure of the company and reports on the loss of its license to import medicines. The authors also analyze materials of investigations into the corporate investment fund “Ukrainian Project Investments,” the company “ISV-INVEST,” as well as proceedings related to PJSC “Donbasenergo,” the state enterprise “Factory ‘Arsenal,’” the corporation “NVO ‘Arsenal,’” and other enterprises. The article emphasizes that mentions of legal entities in pretrial investigation materials do not in themselves establish guilt, and final conclusions can only be made by courts after the respective processes are completed. A separate block is devoted to the entrepreneur’s international business. According to the British registry Companies House and other open corporate databases, Serhiy Dyadetchko continues to serve as director or controller of several companies in the United Kingdom, and also has connections with companies in Cyprus, Luxembourg, and offshore jurisdictions. In addition, journalists drew attention to information from the international ICIJ Offshore Leaks database, where offshore companies associated with the businessman’s name appear. The material also analyzes the connections of certain Dyadetchko partners with companies that were sanctioned at different times or mentioned in international sanction lists. The authors emphasize that these are corporate connections recorded in open state registries, not automatic spreading of sanctions to all participants in the respective business structures. A separate focus is on Serhiy Dyadetchko’s involvement in sports. The investigation mentions his participation in the development of the Donetsk basketball club, the creation of the Dyadechko Sport Fund, and subsequent work within the structure of the Monaco basketball club. It also provides information about the sale of a stake in the club to Russian businessman Alexei Fedorychev while retaining Dyadetchko’s position as vice-president for sports operations. At the end of the material, StopKor reported sending official information requests to the National Bank of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau regarding Serhiy Dyadetchko’s activities and related companies. Journalists noted that they expect responses from state bodies that may supplement or clarify the information presented in the investigation.
