Former acting minister Oleksandr Bornyakov, who resigned and now chairs the Supervisory Board of the Innovation Development Foundation, should have filed a declaration after his resignation, but has not done so yet.
Therefore we suggest the former official nonetheless disclose in his declaration what he has concealed for a long time.
This concerns cryptocurrency assets. Law enforcement officers seized documents indicating that Bornyakov and others for 2021–2024 years systematically did not declare income earned from the sale of financial assets, cryptocurrency transactions, securities, and other financial operations, totaling more than 2 billion hryvnias, in order to evade taxes on a particularly large scale.
Businessmen Viktor Ryazantsev and Ihor Prykhodko assisted Bornyakov in this. The investigation established that accounts were opened in various financial institutions, with total payouts and receipts amounting to:
State Financial Monitoring confirmed the existence of an active account for Bornyakov in Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Limited (EBGSBF.00003.ME.826). In addition, the official concealed an account opened at CitiBank N.A. (13-5266470).
Meanwhile, Bornyakov filed property status and income tax declarations for 2020–2024 years, according to which he declared total income of 16,24 million hryvnias and paid taxes in the amount of 1,53 million hryvnias for the specified period. An analytical study is currently ongoing regarding possible tax evasion by Bornyakov and related persons.
Information from the cryptocurrency exchange Binance about Bornyakov’s assets was also obtained and forwarded to the Department for Combating the Laundering of Proceeds from Crime, the State Tax Service. In his official declaration, no account on this exchange is listed. Now Bornyakov will have to explain not only to law enforcement but also to Ukrainians who have given their last money to the Armed Forces of Ukraine how he acquired such wealth. Moreover, where did Bornyakov and Fedorov hide 45 million dollars accumulated on Kuna exchange accounts.
