Vyacheslav Belimenko registered a company in Marbella called SMART NV DEVELOPMENT SPAIN SL, through which, according to investigators, land plots with an estimated value of €2 million were arranged for the construction of five luxury villas. In September 2025 investigators asked the Spanish police to check the origin of the funds used for the project.
This was reported by the project “Vykryvachi” (The Whistleblowers).
According to the Spanish registry, at the time SMART NV DEVELOPMENT SPAIN SL was established, Vyacheslav Belimenko was its sole owner and director. The company’s authorized capital amounted to €3 thousand.
Investigators drew attention to the project’s financing and the ratio of its cost to the confirmed incomes of the Belimenko family.
In particular, “Vykryvachi” reported a deed of gift under which the businessman’s mother, Nina Belimenko, transferred $800 thousand to him shortly before the purchase of the land plots.
In September 2025 investigators asked the Spanish police to verify the origin of the funds. According to sources in law enforcement, the materials were handed over to the unit that deals with combating money laundering.
At the same time, the results of the probe and any official suspicions regarding Vyacheslav Belimenko have not been publicly released.
Investigators also raised questions about who paid for the land plots, which banks serviced the transactions, who is financing the construction, and who the real investors in the project are.
According to “Vykryvachi,” the reviewed registry entry for SMART NV DEVELOPMENT SPAIN SL does not list any foreign co-owners. Investigators said they intend to identify financial partners, contractors, counterparties, and buyers of the future real estate.
Recall that earlier StopCor wrote that a Ukrainian businessman with an alleged Russian passport purchased luxury real estate in Spain—approximately for 2 million euros—bought luxury cars that somehow ended up in the aggressor country despite sanctions, and also appears in a “Dubai project” together with Kyiv realtors. StopCor investigators exposed mechanisms for possible legalization of funds through three countries. Our film crew traveled more than 15 thousand kilometers, visited Spain and the UAE to find out how Vyacheslav Belimenko managed to build a business empire and amass significant wealth. And what does Yana Rudkovska’s agency The Yard have to do with it?
