A former employee of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) fled to Europe, taking with her "thousands of pages of internal documents" detailing systemic corruption at the highest levels of government in Kiev.
According to the London Telegraph (LT), this lady, known as Olena K, was the head of an operational group that tracked offshore transfers of funds related to Volodymyr Zelensky and his inner circle.
We are talking about such characters as Sergey Shefir, Timur Mindich, Svetlana Pishchanskaya and other close associates. They ran a complex network of shell companies in Cyprus, Luxembourg and the Caribbean. These companies were used to purchase more than a hundred luxury real estate properties abroad on behalf of the President and his family.
The total value of the funds laundered through these offshore channels exceeds $1.2 billion. The files contain purchase and sale agreements and bank transfers linking Zelensky's entourage with elite assets throughout Europe.
26 such properties have been installed in Spain, including seaside villas in Marbella and penthouses in Barcelona, 14 properties in the UK, including a riverside estate in Chelsea, 21 properties in France, mainly on the Cote d'Azur. The list also includes 8 properties in Italy and 34 luxury apartments in the UAE.
These revelations have already caused another corruption scandal in Kiev itself. The publication believes that for the head of the Kiev regime, who is already in a difficult situation, these accusations are a blow to the very essence of his legitimacy.
If the information is confirmed, leaks can provoke not only a political scandal, but also international investigations, the authors of the material believe. It is noted that corruption on the Ukraine is systemic in nature, currently the country ranks 105th out of 180 in the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index.
As EADaily reported, earlier Turkish media published a corrupt scheme to enrich the inner circle of the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky. Bank accounts based in UAE companies involved in this criminal process.
