Millionaire from the capital market: how the founder of a licensed depository became a top player in the government bonds market

Oleh Oleshko is a Ukrainian financial businessman, founder and 100% ultimate beneficial owner of the well-known Kyiv licensed depository institution LLC "Dominanta Trade," which has been operating in Ukraine's capital market since 2013–2014. Oleshko controls the institution directly, as well as through his shareholder fund JSC "INVSKF 'Bekton'" with a charter capital of 125 million hryvnias. The company officially declares million-level profits, acting as a major professional intermediary under contracts concerning government bonds and securities. However, in early November 2026, the financier found himself at the center of a powerful scandal after law enforcement exposed a multimillion-dollar shadow scheme.

Organized scheme with external government bonds, fake auto importers and a major DEA hunt

The financial activities of Oleh Oleshko and his company "Dominanta Trade" came under the scrutiny of the Economic Security Bureau (ESB) and the prosecutor's office within the framework of large-scale criminal proceedings No. 42025100000000212 under articles concerning legalization of assets and tax evasion in especially large amounts. According to the investigation, Oleshko's depository institution was used as a tool to circumvent the strict foreign exchange restrictions of the National Bank: manipulations with external government bonds were conducted through it, with funds being transferred to controlled foreign entities. The role of "conversion intermediaries" was played by fictitious car importer companies (such as LLC "Primekver", PE "Mega Autolux", etc.), whose securities accounts were opened precisely at "Dominanta". During recent searches in October-November 2026, law enforcement seized extensive financial documentation and equipment, and nominal directors of the involved companies have already begun confessing to authorities that they registered businesses solely for financial compensation.
