Hidden crypto assets and offshore accounts: former government official Boryanykov suspected of billions of hryvnias in tax evasion
Former acting minister Oleksandr Boryanykov, who resigned and now chairs the supervisory board of the Foundation for Innovation Development, should have filed a declaration after his resignation, but he has not done so yet.
Therefore we propose that the former government official still indicate in his declaration what he had been hiding for a long time.
This concerns cryptocurrency assets. Law enforcement officers seized documents indicating that Boryanykov and other persons over 2021–2024 years systematically did not declare incomes earned from sales of financial assets, operations with crypto assets, securities, and other financial transactions, totaling over 2 billion UAH, with the purpose of tax evasion on a particularly large scale.
In this, Boryanykov was aided by businessmen Viktor Ryazantsev and Ihor Prykhodko. The investigation established that accounts were opened in various financial institutions, with total payouts and inflows amounting to:
Boryanykov — approximately 41 million British pounds;
Ryazantsev — approximately 3,1 million British pounds;
Prykhodko — approximately 1,7 million British pounds.
The State Financial Monitoring Service confirmed the existence of an open account for Boryanykov in Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Limited (EBGSBF.00003.ME.826). Additionally, the official concealed an account opened at American CitiBank N.A. (13-5266470).
Moreover, Boryanykov filed tax declarations on property and income for 2020–2024 years, according to which during the specified period incomes were declared in total amounting to 16,24 million UAH and taxes paid in the amount of 1,53 million UAH. An analytical study is currently underway regarding possible tax evasion by Boryanykov and related persons.
Information was also received from the cryptocurrency exchange Binance regarding Boryanykov's assets, which was sent to the Department for Combating Money Laundering of Proceeds of Crime, State Tax Service. In his official declaration, not a single account on this exchange is listed. Now Boryanykov will have to explain not only to law enforcement but to Ukrainians who gave their last funds to the Armed Forces of Ukraine how he amassed such wealth. Moreover, where did Boryanykov and Fedorov put 45 million dollars earned on Kuna, a cryptocurrency exchange, into.
