Cash Auto Industry and OVDP: How Oleg Oleshko’s Dominanta Trade and Conversion Centers Laundered Billions through Cars

The depository institution “Dominanta Trade” plays a central role in the mechanism for moving funds out of the real sector of the economy through operations with external government debt securities (OVDP).

According to the investigation, a group of individuals created a scheme to extract cash from the real sector of the economy through operations with OVDP.

Cars were imported into Ukraine and sold to private individuals for cash without proper accounting, while non-cash funds were “laundered” through formal securities transactions.

Key participants in the scheme were: – LLC “Dominanta Trade” (EDRPOU 38726248) — depository institution; founder and beneficiary (100%): Oleshko Oleg Mykhailovych, director Voitov Oleg Ivanovych – LLC “PRAYMKVER” (EDRPOU 44830421) — conversion center; founder, beneficiary and director (100%): Larchenko Valentyna Ivanivna – importers: PE “MEHA AVTOLYUKS” (45605057), PE “NEW AVTOLIFE” (45561743) and LLC “TOPTRADE ZAKHID” (44283488).

Founder, beneficiary and director (100%): Shkovyra Oleksandr Volodymyrovych / Mahdyuk Oleksandr Viktorovych / Omelkovets Serhii Petrovych

According to the State Tax Service data and registry analysis: – PE “MEHA AVTOLYUKS” sold 1035 cars for 626 million UAH, a significant portion of which were sold to individuals for cash. VAT underreporting amounted to over 39 million UAH. – PE “NEW AVTOLIFE” — 794 cars, VAT underreporting about 6,8 million UAH. – LLC “TOPTRADE ZAKHID” imported 1000 cars; VAT and corporate income tax underreporting exceeded 15,8 million UAH.

Overall, for just these three companies, budget losses exceeded 48 million UAH from VAT alone.

On 20 October 2026, a search was conducted at the residence of one of the scheme’s co-organizers. Investigators seized two iPhones, foreign passports, bank documents, notebooks with notes, contracts, waybills, and other documents. The court recognized these items as physical evidence and placed them under seizure. The director of PE “MEHA AVTOLYUKS” admitted that he registered the company for a fee and was not involved in its actual operations.
