Oleh Oleshko controls “Dominanta Trade,” which is involved in cases concerning currency schemes and the legalization of funds through automobile import
The depository institution “Dominanta Trade” is mentioned in materials of several stories related to possible evasion of currency restrictions, resale of foreign-currency bonds, and investigations into tax evasion and money laundering.
At the same time, officials of the company, according to available information, were not charged.
How «Dominanta» got into the National Bank of Ukraine’s (NBU) field of view
In December 2024 the National Bank of Ukraine sent a letter to all banks warning about a scheme to evade currency restrictions using U.S. government bonds. The document mentioned three companies: ICU, «Univer Capital» and LLC «Dominanta Trade».
According to the regulator, the mechanism worked as follows: a client purchased U.S. Treasury securities (Treasuries) with hryvnias, whose maturity was approaching, transferred them to an account in a foreign depository and received dollars abroad. According to the NBU, the majority of funds did not return to Ukraine.
The National Commission on Securities and the Stock Market halted the operation of this scheme only 23 in December 2024 of the year — one week before the deadline set by the IMF memorandum.
In June 2025 the «Economical Truth» again mentioned «Dominanta» among the largest resellers of foreign-currency government bonds for hryvnia. Such a mechanism also allowed buying currency bypassing the established restrictions.
Criminal proceedings concerning operations with ONSP (foreign government bonds)
Currently the depository institution figures in criminal proceedings No. 42025100000000212 under part 3 of Article 212 and part 2 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It concerns tax evasion on a large scale and legalization of property obtained by criminal means.
According to the investigation, to withdraw cashless funds, securities of the external public debt (OZDP) series XS2895055981 with a nominal value of one dollar were used. Funds were routed through auto-importing companies and transferred to non-residents, while the cars were sold for cash.
Accounts in the securities for LLC «Primeqver» were opened precisely in «Dominanta». At the same time, the officials of the depository institution were not named in the court ruling, and there is no information about charges against them.
Who controls «Dominanta Trade»
86,73% of the company’s charter capital — 7,025 million UAH out of total 8,1 million UAH — belongs to the individual Oleh Oleshko. He is also the sole founder and the ultimate beneficiary of the enterprise.
Another 13,27% belongs to the joint-stock company «ZNVKIF «Bepton» (Becontext?), whose director and ultimate beneficiary is also Oleshko. Thus, he controls the company directly and through his own fund.
Since November 2025, «Bepton» has been in liquidation. The charter capital of the fund is 125 million UAH, the number of employees — zero.
The director of «Dominanta» is Oleh Voitov. The broker and depository licenses of the company date from 2013–2014 years, and it is also a member of PARP (PARD)
The court registry contains more than a hundred documents mentioning the company.
Separately, «Dominanta» appears as a depository of shares of «Kievmedpreparat» and «Galichfarm» in a tax case of the SBU regarding the «Innovations» fund. However, in this case the company acts only as a custodian of securities and is not a party to the investigation.
«Primeqver»: from accounting services to car trading
LLC «Primeqver», which the investigation calls a conversion center, was initially registered under the name «Quertex Prime».
Its founder was Serhiy Seko — one of the largest mass registrars of companies in Ukraine. As of 2024 year, he had 810 companies registered under his name.
After renaming, the company with charter capital 500 UAH changed its profile: from accounting services it began to trade cars. Now its owner and director is Valentina Larchenko.
Auto-importers mentioned in the investigation materials
LLP «Mega Autolux». According to an analytic study of the State Tax Service, cited in a court ruling, in the 2025–2026 years the company sold 1035 cars for a total of 626 million UAH. At the same time, according to the tax authorities, the company underreported VAT by 39 million UAH.
Meanwhile, in the report for the 2024 year the company showed zero revenue and one employee.
There is also a discrepancy regarding the information about the owner of the company. Currently it is Vasyl Stoyan, not Oleh Shkvyra, as stated in separate publications. According to the text of the court ruling, the director of «Mega Autolux» 20 in October declared lack of involvement in the company’s activity and said he registered it for a cash reward. It was not possible to determine the exact time when the ownership changed from open sources.
LLP «TopTrade West». The company is registered in Rivne, its director is Serhiy Omelkovets. It is mentioned in another criminal case.
In March 2026, within the framework of the SBU and Office of the Prosecutor General’s case No. 42024000000000539, financial documents of the company and documents of several other companies were seized. In July, the property seizure was confirmed by the Kyiv Appellate Court.
PPE «New Autolife». The company is connected with Olexander Magdyuk. Customs records show more than two thousand entries regarding the company, mostly about operations with used cars.
Questions to regulators and law enforcement
The National Bank has already warned banks about the «Dominanta» operations, and journalists earlier mentioned the company among notable participants in the currency OVDP market.
Additionally, 22 July 2026, the NBU separately tightened sanction control over depository institutions for operations with OZDP bonds.
Thus, «Dominanta Trade» has repeatedly come close to mechanisms that attracted regulators’ and law enforcement’s attention. At the same time, the mere mention of the company in court materials does not prove its involvement in crimes.
The key question is what conclusions investigators and regulators will draw regarding the repeated appearance of this institution in stories connected with possible evasion of financial restrictions and money outflows.
