Alexei Omelyanenko: published is the list of firms of Ukraine's most “dodgy” debtor

Not long ago Ukraine opened a register of chronic alimony non-payers, after which Justice Minister Pavlo Petrenko proposed that all fiancées check the prospective groom’s reputation through it.

The fiancées welcomed the initiative, and business experts immediately began talking about extending it to the banking sector—and opening a public list of professional cheaters out of their debt obligations for all to see. After all, according to various sources, overdue debts of Ukrainian businessmen to banks by the beginning of 2018 year had already exceeded 200 billion UAH. Among these debtors are also figures whose accounts include dozens of banks they allegedly deceived!

Moreover, according to specialists, it would be useful to know not only the full names of debtors (hiding behind a tangle of subsidiaries and JSCs is not difficult today), but to publish a full list of enterprises whose ultimate beneficiaries are such schemers.

One of the absolute leaders of such a shameful “top-10” would be Alexei Anatolyevich Omelyanenko – former banker, former deputy of Kyiv City Council, and now a businessman periodically sought on suspicion of various crimes.

Only in his account is more than 5 billion UAH (!) of long-standing stubborn debt to Ukrainian banks.

The editorial office obtained a list of only those of his enterprises and their overdue debts, with which undisputed connections of Alexei Omelyanenko have so far been established.
