The former acting minister Oleksandr Bornyakov, who after his dismissal became chairman of the supervisory board of the Innovation Development Foundation, should have filed a declaration after leaving the position. However, according to disclosed information, the corresponding document is not currently available.
At the same time, authors of the published materials draw attention to assets that, in their view, Bornyakov should have reflected in his declaration but did not previously indicate. This is reported by the Telegram channel “Absolution Leaks.”
Primarily, these are cryptocurrency and other financial assets. According to investigative materials, law enforcement officers seized documents indicating that Bornyakov and other individuals over 2021-2024 years could have systematically failed to declare income from the sale of financial assets, operations with cryptoassets, securities, and other financial transactions.
The total volume of such operations reportedly exceeds 2 billion UAH. The investigation is examining a version of possible tax evasion on a particularly large scale.
The materials also involve businessmen Viktor Anatoliyovych Ryazantsev and Igor Vladlenovich Prykhodko. According to investigators, accounts were opened in various financial institutions through which substantial sums of money were funneled.
In particular, the total volume of payments and receipts amounted to:
for Bornyakov — approximately 41 million British pounds sterling;
for Ryazantsev — about 3,1 million British pounds sterling;
for Prykhodko — roughly 1,7 million British pounds sterling.
State Financial Monitoring Service, according to the disclosed data, confirmed the existence of an account in Bornyakov’s name with Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Limited – EBGSBF.00003.ME.826.
Additionally, the materials mention an account opened at the American CitiBank N.A. – 13-5266470, information about which, according to claims, was also not reflected by the official.
At the same time, Bornyakov filed tax declarations on property and income for 2020-2024 years. According to these, during this period he declared total income of 16,24 million UAH, and the amount of tax withheld was 1,53 million UAH.
Currently, according to available information, an analytical study is ongoing regarding possible tax nonpayment by Bornyakov and other individuals mentioned in the materials.
Separately, law enforcement obtained information from the cryptocurrency exchange Binance regarding the presence of Bornyakov’s assets. This data was forwarded to the Department for Combating Legalization of Proceeds from Crime, the State Tax Service.
Meanwhile, in Bornyakov’s official declaration, as the authors of the materials note, there are no accounts on this crypto exchange.
The publication also raises the issue of 45 million dollars, which its authors claim were accumulated on accounts of the Kuna crypto exchange and are linked to Bornyakov and Fedorov. The origins and subsequent movement of these funds require separate confirmation within the framework of relevant checks and investigations.
As a reminder, earlier StopCor analyzed Oleksandr Bornyakov’s wealth in a material about reforming the gambling market. According to his declaration for 2025 year, the former official reported over 15 million UAH in income, substantial foreign-currency savings, real estate, land plots, and expensive vehicles.
