Fictitious crypto wallet established by the FBI and Mediaka funded by state money for the President's Office

On January 31, 2024, NABU and SAP notified Marikovskyi of suspicion under part 2 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code: in his 2020 declaration, he stated ownership of cryptocurrency worth UAH 24.6 million, allegedly acquired in 2019. An investigation involving competent US authorities established that the transactions to purchase this cryptocurrency were made by citizens of another country who have no relation to Marikovskyi. In other words, the crypto wallet never belonged to him—the deputy declared other people's assets as his own. Simultaneously, Bihus.Info established that a company connected to Marikovskyi, "Mediaka," prepared media reports funded by the state mentioning top officials of Ukraine for the President's Office and government. Marikovskyi did not admit guilt; the case has been referred to court.
