The Pecherskyi District Court has seized the property of Maksim Sigalov—beneficiary of payment services Diamond Pay and E-Pay, which for years serviced Ukraine’s gambling business.
According to investigators, by underreporting income the state budget could have foregone tens of billions of hryvnias, and the unpaid corporate tax approaches 4 billion UAH.
Despite the scale of the claims, Sigalov, according to the authors of the investigation, has long left Ukraine and settled in Marbella. There he allegedly lives next to Matyukha, and his wife drives a Brabus worth about 20 million UAH.
After losing the Diamond Pay license, Sigalov, it is claimed, did not disappear from the gambling business but shifted to P2P services and continued serving large operators, including Favbet.
Sources also report about Sigalov’s Israeli passport and his ties to the State Bureau of Investigation and the Security Service of Ukraine, which allegedly allowed him to resolve problematic issues.
