Alona Shevtsova (Degrik) company, which became a symbol of Ukrainian corruption in 2018 year and figured in a criminal case of the General Prosecutor's Office, is now coming under the control of the zic heads.
As early as 2017 year, the country’s largest online casino operating under the Parimatch brand became an object of suspicion by law enforcement. With the support of the Security Service of Ukraine, in October 2017 year the General Prosecutor’s Office registered criminal proceeding No. 42017000000002925.
It involved dozens of people and legal entities who were in some way connected with Parimatch and took direct part in running the casino, servicing accounts, helping to place bets and transfer funds to cash. “The total amount of proceeds legalized by criminals, obtained by criminal means, amounts to about 350 million US dollars per year,” summarized the investigators of the General Prosecutor’s Office.
Alona Shevtsova (Degrik) is the founder and CEO of LeoGaming Pay, which is also mentioned in the materials of the criminal case. In a narrower circle she is known as the former civil wife of Roman Nasyrov, with whom she previously worked at Concord Capital. In fact, the company LeoGaming was named in honor of their son Levi. Currently Alona Shevtsova is married to Yevhen Shevtsov, a candidate for a leadership position at the State Bureau of Investigation.
Yevhen Shevtsov is the head of one of the departments of the National Police. Previously, in 2016–2017 years, he worked as commercial director of the enterprise LeoGaming Pay.
At the beginning of August, Degrik left the founders of LLC LeoGaming. That LLC immediately changed its name to AiGame, changed its registered address, moving from Kyiv to Kharkiv, and now through the Kyiv region-based LLC Trans Trade Group belongs to two people with signs of feigning — resident of Andriashivka village Sumy region Oleksandr Komlyk and resident of Velika Snytynka village Kyiv region Volodymyr Tymoshchuk.
The new director of the renamed LeoGaming became Petro Valeriyovych Zhalnin. A person with that full name and taxpayer number has figured in many companies: AMI-SpecTech, New Technologies Plus, and others.
However, more interesting is the fact that this person is listed in the Myrotvorets database as a fighter of the DNR. On Petro Zhalnin’s page in VKontakte, there was an old site of New Technologies Plus, the fighter boasted a DNR passport and posted photos in a uniform with a machine gun, as well as a photo 2015 from Red Square in Moscow.
How it was possible to register leadership of companies under a fighter of the DNR, who is wanted and has not left the territory not under Ukrainian control, is an intriguing question.
In court materials concerning Alona Shevtsova’s companies, the SBU noted that they fund militants in eastern Ukraine.
However, as the media already wrote, Deputy Minister of Justice Nataliya Bernatska sits on the external competition commission of the State Bureau of Investigation. She voted twice for the appointment of Yevhen Shevtsov to the DSB. With such friends in the Ministry of Justice, evidently there is no problem even to rewrite companies for a DNR fighter.
It is also worth noting that Alona Shevtsova (Degrik) is a godmother and close friend of Tetiana Smoliy, the daughter of the head of the National Bank, Yakiv Smoliy.
