Volynian MP and oligarch Ihaviv impressed with declaration featuring enormous wealth.
Volyn National Deputy Stepan Ihaviv impressed with his wealth in the declaration. The infamous oligarch and his wife own hectares of land in Volyn, several luxurious houses, apartments in Kyiv, expensive accessories and cars.
In 2009 year the deputy acquired in the village of Lipsyny, Lutsk district 23,78 sotkas, worth 4,738 thousand hryvnias, 24,74 sotkas worth 3,987 thousand hryvnias, 33,33 sotkas worth 6,641 thousand hryvnias, 2,2112 ha worth 44,058 thousand hryvnias, 2,4124 ha worth 38,876 thousand hryvnias, 2,6107 ha worth 52,017 thousand hryvnias, 3,2095 ha worth 63,948 thousand hryvnias, according to volynonline.
Also in Lipsyny village Stepan Ihaviv has since 2011 year four land plots totaling 10,25 sotkas, 14,75 sotkas, and 25 sotkas, 25 sotkas, 50 % of which belong to LLC "Camp S.T.A.R.".
Since 2012 year Ihaviv leases a land plot of 65,26 sotkas in Lipsyny, 50 % belonging to Mykhailo Romanov, 1,2498 ha, 50 % belonging to Serhiy Koretsky, 1,7075 ha, 50 % owned by Maria Naumchuk and 1,7080 ha, 50 % owned by Maria Ihaviv.
His wife, at a very favorable price, managed to buy 8 plots in Volyn region, 2 plots in Kyiv region and 4 plots in the famous resort village Polyanytsya, Ivano-Frankivsk region, where Bukovel is located.
Svitlana Ihaviv owns since 2010 year a residential house of 301,8 square meters in the village Lipsyny valued at 438,132 thousand hryvnias, and since 2010 year a dacha house of 307,6 square meters valued at 1,3143 million hryvnias in the village Pulmo. Since 2015 year there is also in the wife’s name a house of 226 square meters in Pulmo valued at 410 thousand hryvnias and a outbuilding of 656,2 square meters.
1 of September 2017 year Svitlana Ihaviv bought in Kyiv two apartments — 207,6 square meters valued at 1 million hryvnias and 146,9 square meters valued at 900 thousand hryvnias, three garages totaling 13,6 sq m valued at 100 thousand hryvnias, 12,3 sq m valued at 100 thousand and 12,3 sq m valued at 100 thousand hryvnias.
Stepan Ihaviv declared two apartments of 1223,5 sq m and 1086,5 sq m, 50 % of which since 2012 year belong to the third party LLC "Camp S.T.A.R." in Lipsyny.
Since 2016 year the deputy has a sports complex of 27,5 m2, a ventilation and air conditioning control block of 59,7 m2, a wine cellar of 98,5 m2, a checkpoint of 135,5 m2, a guest house of 221,9 m2, and a health complex of 145,8 m2 in Lipsyny. 50 % of all this property belongs to LLC "Camp S.T.A.R.".
Stepan Ihaviv has since 2017 year leased an office of 120,7 m2 in Kyiv at the LLC "Kontinium-Trast-Company".
It should be noted that 50 % of one of Stepan Ihaviv’s most expensive mansions allegedly belonged to the wife and children of the late Ihor Yeremeiev. However, the infamous oligarch illegally deprived the heirs of his friend and business partner of the right to half of the house, despite it being built with the Yeremeiev family money. Currently, in the free half, occasionally resides the former regional and Ihaviv’s assistant Denys Pyatykhoriets.
Stepan Ihaviv declared several sets of cufflinks made of precious metal and stones, as well as 7 watches from well-known brands "Rolex", "Franck Muller", "Ulysse Nardin" and others, with an average value of 300 thousand hryvnias each.
He has paintings, antiques, expensive suits and cars. Since 2013 year he owns 1000 shares nominally worth 7,993 thousand hryvnias in the company "KAFFRI ASSET HOLDINGS LIMITED", registered in an offshore zone – the British Virgin Islands. Since 2016 year the deputy also has 116,5 thousand shares nominally worth 116,5 million hryvnias in PJSC "Bank of Investment and Savings".
In accounts at PJSC "Bank of Investment and Savings" the deputy has 6,937 thousand US dollars, 180,355 thousand hryvnias and 35,253 thousand euros. In PJSC "VTB Bank" Ihaviv has 23,51 thousand hryvnias. In cash the deputy has 10,2 million hryvnias, 1,6 million euros and 1,080 million US dollars. In the Swiss bank "UBS Switzerland AG" in Zurich, the deputy holds 22,398 thousand US dollars.
Despite colossal wealth, Stepan Ihaviv does not like philanthropy or helping people, even his voters. For example, 20 October 2017 year in the village Mezhysyt, Ratne district, the wealthiest person in Volyn pompously donates a modern ambulance Opel Vivaro on behalf of his fund "Patriots of Volyn" to the community instead of a Soviet UAZ. Yet the trusting villagers did not suspect that the ambulance presented by the oligarch is a municipal property and has no relation to the dubious patron and his fund. Moreover, the ambulance turned out to be a pile of scrap metal that broke after several trips and no longer performs its function.
The meanness of such an act is astonishing. A businessman with million-dollar profits decided to cheat the villagers to gain media attention for charity.
similarly Stepan Ihaviv behaves with his voters in the Kovel district. He appears in the district only before elections and bribes people with "crumbs from a nobleman's table".
In 2017 year the deputy received 235,056 thousand hryvnias salary in the Verkhovna Rada, 8 million hryvnias from sale of real estate for LLC "KAU 'VSEVISIT'", 1,2938 million hryvnias dividends from PJSC "Bank of Investment and Savings", 17,945 million hryvnias dividends from LLC "KAU 'VSEVISIT'", 300 thousand hryvnias from sale of securities and corporate rights for LLC "VSEAPF", 515,8 thousand hryvnias of interest from the "PrivatBank".
It is notable that the wealth of the Volyn oligarch in the Verkhovna Rada does not impress. He and his faction mate from "Freedom of the People" Serhiy Martyniak are among the most passive and useless deputies from Volyn in this session. In particular, he blocked the vote for the appointment of the Lutsk mayor solely for personal political motives.
In 2017 year Ihaviv spent 886,769 thousand hryvnias on a car rental, 3,13068 million hryvnias on renting an apartment, 300 thousand hryvnias on acquiring non-residential premises, 300 thousand hryvnias and 15,645 million hryvnias on acquiring securities, 7,92 million hryvnias on compensating damages caused to another person, 328,584 thousand hryvnias on paying taxes for the year 2016, 174,347 thousand hryvnias on a hotel in Great Britain, 322,067 thousand hryvnias on a hotel in Switzerland, 205,439 thousand hryvnias on a hotel in France and 186,466 thousand hryvnias on educational services for a family member.
We emphasize that Stepan Ihaviv earns millions through fraud and machinations. His company "WOG" has repeatedly been involved in scandals and criminal cases. For example, he sells fuel under his own brand "Mustang" which is actually a low-quality product, trades gasoline made by blending additives and various components and as a result kills cars. Repeatedly the Continium company of Stepan Ihaviv cheated the state out of hundreds of millions by winning tenders through corruption.
Thousands of depositors of the "Forum Bank" after its bankruptcy still cannot recover their deposits due to the fraud of the company "WOG", which took a huge loan in foreign currency from depositors’ funds and now refuses to repay it.
Stepan Ihaviv earned his wealth dishonestly, by evading taxes. Yet even for the largest sums, one cannot buy honor, conscience, and humanity. The Volyn oligarch cares little for people; to him they are cheap labor and electors. He does not care about his district, his land, or Ukraine as a whole, but seeks only to scheme another million from citizens' pockets.
