The former minister in the Yanukovych era, Zlothevsky, put up for sale a 54-meter yacht for 1,25 billion hryvnias.
Former Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Mykola Zlothevsky put up for sale a 54-meter Rhino yacht valued at €25,9 million. The vessel was built in 2016 at the Italian shipyard Benetti. The yacht is being sold through brokerage companies Fraser and Ocean Independence.
Earlier the yacht bore the name Karianna — in honor of Zlothevsky’s daughters Karina and Anna. Zlothevsky is also linked to the creation of the Burisma gas extraction group, which produces about 1 billion cubic meters of gas per year.
As blogger Volodymyr Bondarenko writes, in 2020 year Zlothevsky was charged in a case of a record bribery worth $6 million, which, according to the investigation, was intended to buy off the leadership of NABU and SAP. For bribery, confiscation of property was provided.
However, in 2023 year Zlothevsky struck a deal with the prosecution, under which he had to pay 68 thousand hryvnias in fines and allocate 500 million hryvnias to the 'Army of Drones' project. Thus, instead of possible asset confiscation, the case ended with a much milder punishment and a large contribution to defense needs.
Around this story there have repeatedly been questions about Zlothevsky’s connections in the United States. In particular, in public space there were claims about his ties to the Biden family through Hunter Biden’s participation on the board of directors of Burisma. At the same time, these claims are not established facts about the reasons for the agreements in Zlothevsky’s case.
Zlothevsky was at one time Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council under Viktor Yanukovych. After fleeing Ukraine, he re-registered part of his business assets to his daughters Karina and Anna, as well as son-in-law Andriy Kuchkov. At the same time, according to the author, sanctions against Zlothevsky did not lead to a loss of control over his business.
Recently, as noted in the publication, assets connected with Zlothevsky have expanded to include BFC Sky Towers with an area of 51 thousand square meters on Brestskyi Avenue, the former Arkada bank headquarters on Olhinska Street, 3, the building of the former Sberbank on Sagaydachnoho Street, 25, a food court on Arsenialna, the headquarters of the Kluev brothers on Riznytska, 3, and also a hectare of land for development near ‘Yarma’ in Khreshchatyi Park.
According to sources in business circles, the yacht is not being sold due to financial problems. On the contrary — the vessel 2016 year is already considered too small for Zlothevsky, since its length is only 54 meters. Therefore, according to this version, the owner decided to get rid of the old yacht and buy a new one that would match his current status.
