NABU and SAP expanded the list of suspects in the case of a criminal organization whose activities are linked to raider takeovers, property fraud, and money laundering. A new suspicion was filed against an influential businessman — a former deputy of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council of the VII convocation.
According to the investigation, the leaders of the criminal organization — a current and a former member of the Ukrainian parliament — involved the businessman in illegal activities to use his informal connections and influence in the judicial sphere, NABU reports.
Law enforcement claims that the suspect, in particular, helped ensure that commercial court judges issued decisions in favor of companies or individuals linked to the criminal organization.
According to the investigation, with his involvement a raider takeover was carried out of two enterprises whose combined asset value was 248 million UAH.
The businessman is also suspected of facilitating the legalization of proceeds obtained through criminal means. Those funds were allegedly intended to be used to post bail for one of the participants of another criminal organization in the “Midas” case.
The suspect’s actions were qualified under part 2 of article 255, part 4 of article 28, parts 2, 3 of article 206-2, part 4 of article 28, part 3 of article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Recall that on 19 August 2026 NABU and SAP reported the exposure of a criminal organization that, according to the investigation, operated under the leadership of a current and a former member of parliament with the participation of senior officials from the Office of the President and other persons.
According to law enforcement, the group’s activities were aimed, in particular, at seizing expensive real estate and the assets of legal entities. To do this, they may have used unauthorized interference with the Ministry of Justice’s information networks, forged court decisions, and forged property ownership documents.
The investigation in the case is ongoing.
According to the first paragraph of article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and may not be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in accordance with the law and established by a guilty verdict of a court.
Recall that the fight over the seized assets of the IDS Ukraine holding, the producer of “Morshynska,” with a total value of about 5,8 billion UAH, is reaching a new level. Previously, StopCor reported that the management of these assets is being claimed by the management company UKRKAPITAL Asset Management (KUA “UKRKAPITAL”) of Serhiy Bielashov, which is linked to Dnipro businessman Vasyl Astion. In the media he is also called the “wallet” of oligarch Vitaliy Khomutynnik. Against this backdrop, the question arises whether transferring the assets to Ukrainian managers could effectively allow sanctioned owners to retain influence over them.
