Ukrainian real estate project “Ze Yard” (“Yana Yard”), which today actively promotes itself in Dubai as the developer of the “house of the future” Oak Yard, figures in Ukraine in at least three criminal proceedings. One of them is the story about the beating of an entrepreneur who dared to publicly sue for the return of his own money. This is described in the investigation by “Stop Corruption TV.”
The agreement that turned into the disappearance of money
According to information available to the authors of the investigation, authorities currently have three criminal proceedings for offenses allegedly committed by employees of a company within Yana Rudkovskaya’s orbit — a figure well known to the capital’s elite real estate market. The victims cited by the media Rozslidziuvach.info indicate that in Kyiv the businesswoman allegedly launched a large-scale fraudulent scheme that cost people not only money but also health.
The matter concerns a real estate deal in the center of the capital. The parties signed an agreement, Rudkovskaya received a deposit, after which, according to the victims, she disappeared along with the funds. The defrauded entrepreneur did not stay silent and turned to the police. After that he was allegedly promised another premises as compensation — but instead he was attacked.
“The scariest thing is the threat to lose an eye.”
Among the victims is businessman Anton Shukhnin, owner of the Domino trademark. He says he sustained a serious injury — a fracture of the bones of the left side of the face, and there was a real threat of losing an eye.
“The scariest thing was that there was a threat to lose an eye,” Shukhnin said. According to him, the situation was saved only thanks to qualified doctors: “What saved me was that I ended up with very competent doctors and professors who basically did the impossible.”
Criminal proceedings have been opened on charges of fraud and causing serious bodily harm. Currently, based on official extracts from the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations available to the editors, there are, in particular, proceedings based on Anton Shukhnin’s statement regarding possible fraudulent actions in concluding a lease agreement for premises, as well as a case opened on Bogdan Gorban’s statement — regarding the dissemination of information about Shukhnin’s personal life and health without his consent.
Flight from justice
However, as the authors of the material “Stop Corruption TV” state, Rudkovskaya has been successfully avoiding justice for almost two years — she simply does not return to Ukraine and ignores investigative actions. While the investigation is ongoing, the businesswoman, according to the investigation authors, leads a prosperous life in the United Arab Emirates, where she presented a new project — the Oak Yard complex.
The victims of Rudkovskaya’s actions in Ukraine demand that she be placed on an international wanted list as soon as possible to prevent new victims. The authors of the “Stop Corruption TV” investigation note that problems with the law for Rudkovskaya may arise not only in Ukraine. According to them, appeals regarding possible criminal offenses by Yana Yard have already been submitted to the police and prosecutors of the United Arab Emirates. Journalists say they will closely monitor the responses of foreign institutions and await an official legal assessment of the activity of The Yard agency.
