State land appropriation, billion-dollar crypto scams in Kazakhstan, and escape to Monaco

While working in the Boryspil RSA and leading the Odesa road service, investigations were opened against him and related persons for large-scale scheme with land allocation and financing of road infrastructure, after which he left his position. After his public service, Hordiievskyi moved into shadow finance and iGaming, organizing a criminal group that serviced illegal payments for Russian and international online casinos (including PIN-UP, PINCO, etc.) through fictitious companies and Polish entities like Stablex Solution.

At the end of 2025, law enforcement agencies of Kazakhstan, together with international partners, effectively dismantled Hordiievskyi's group, blocking accounts and billion-dollar flows of the company Marginplus, after which the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan announced him internationally wanted. Following criminal proceedings in Ukraine for fraud and financial crimes, Hordiievskyi left the country using forged documents. According to investigators, after the collapse of his schemes, he and his associates were hiding from debts in the elite Monte Carlo Bay hotel in Monaco.
