In the midst of summer, strategically important bidding for elite real estate, which once belonged to state structures, continues. Another object was a large -scale complex in Kozina - a former recreation center with a estate, a restaurant and numerous structures that Prominvestbank sold for 311.11 million UAH. The buyer was a company related to businessman Maxim Krippo - one of the most mysterious millionaires of Ukrainian gambling.
Real estate is not for the average
The sale of the object was due to the platform "Prozorro.Sales". The starting price of the lot was UAH 187.6 million, but Midal LLC immediately set the highest rate - more than 311 million UAH, which secured its victory. Competitors, LLC "Investing-analytics" and Grin House LLC did not even take a single step towards.
What was the agreement? It's not just about old infrastructure. The lot has a restaurant for 140 seats, several administrative and sleeping buildings in Koncha Zaspa, a luxurious estate of an area of more than 1100 m², auxiliary buildings, Elingen, three structures of 226 m² Each and three land plots with an area above hectares within the elite LCD.
Shadow players of big business
Medal LLC is associated with Maxim Krippo - a figure that has remained out of media for years, but gradually comes out of the shadow. It was Krippu in 2022 that the Ukrainian Forbes called the new beneficiary of the NAVI cyber -sports organization, after the structure through the offshore in the British Virgin Islands was reissued for it.
Krippa is the probable owner of the international bookmaker GGBET and other gambling assets scattered in jurisdictions from Cyprus to Malta. He is also associated with the purchase of the Dnipro Hotel, which in 2020 was publicly announced by Alexander Kohanovsky. However, as journalists found out, the real owners of the buyer were completely different structures associated with the same gambling circles.
Volunteering and parallel reality
Interestingly, despite all the ties mentioned, NAVI actively positions itself as a patriotic brand: the organization participates in volunteer initiatives, supplies cars for the Armed Forces, cooperates with banks and funds. One of the partners of these programs is the Akordbank, which was mentioned among the potential buyers of the Dnipro Hotel. His beneficiary is the husband of the former Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States Oksana Markarova.
The totality of all these facts - real estate business, gambling, offshore schemes, support for volunteering - creates a strange tangle of relationships, which deserves more careful attention from both journalists and regulators. Because what really stands for "quiet" agreements is a happy coincidence or a well -designed strategy for buying a country "wholesale and installments"?
