The main players in loud corruption scandals of the past are not hiding in dark basements at all — they are calmly drinking coffee on the sunny coast of the Mediterranean, visiting European notaries, and managing foreign assets. Meanwhile, in Ukraine a hot phase of the battle for strategic enterprises unfolds, where billions of hryvnias and large privatizations are at stake.

Dmitro Sennichenko’s Valencian Adventures
The former head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine, Dmytro Sennichenko, left the country in the spring of 2022 year. Strangely, he is still not listed in Interpol public lists or under sanctions by the National Security and Defense Council. Meanwhile, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office have completed pre-trial investigations clearly stating: the criminal group organized by him seized from 500 to 700 hryvnias at the Odesa Port Plant and at the United Mining and Chemical Company, and laundered property is valued in the hundreds of millions, in some episodes — even in the billions. Although the arrest in absentia has been in effect since spring 2024 year, it does not prevent the defendant from living to his liking.
For example, in December 2024 year — about a year and a half after the international manhunt was announced — an official notarization ceremony took place in a Spanish company in the city of Valencia, where Sennichenko was appointed the sole administrator of the firm. Thanks to official European bulletins it became evident that the sought-after Ukrainian ex-official visits notaries and conducts business abroad without any problems.
Croatian traces and Dubai real estate
The scale of siphoned assets is astounding. Journalistic and law-enforcement investigations have uncovered a whole web of foreign companies registered to partners and relatives. In Croatia, local press is openly writing about the “tentacles of the octopus” in the form of a whole string of firms created near ferry terminals and resort coves, run by trusted associates.
