At a press briefing on combating gambling, the Kazakh Interior Ministry revealed new details of the high-profile case against the Ukrainian organized crime group, whose leadership, investigators say, was exercised by Vadym Hordiievskyi.
As reported by media, acting with him were Ukrainian–Israeli citizen Mykhailo Kovalov and Ukrainian Ivan Shevchenko, who has business in the EU (including in Poland) and a residence permit in Spain.
According to law enforcement, illegal payments and crypto “cash-outs” were carried out through the Polish company Stablex Solution Sp. z o.o. It is alleged that after operations were shut down in Kazakhstan, financial flows from online casinos and bookmakers in Russia and Kazakhstan were transferred to this firm, including Pin-Up (Redcore), 1xBet and Mostbet.
It was also reported that, as part of international legal assistance between Kazakhstan and the EU, accounts of the Marginplus / Solvex group of companies were frozen at the Polish bank BNP Paribas for more than 11 million euros.
Vadym Hordiievskyi (1974 y.o.) is involved in organizing the operations, and his partner is named as Mykhailo Kovalov (Slavin), who holds Ukrainian and Israeli citizenship. The activities are also associated with STABLEX SOLUTION Sp. z o. o., headed by Ivan Shevchenko. Media note that those involved may be declared internationally wanted. The case is under the control of Kazakhstan’s Committee for National Security, but an official announcement of a wanted notice has not yet been published.
