Former officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor's Office are legalizing millions through hotels, energy, and development in the Carpathians
Former officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor General's Office — Serhiy Chebotar, Oleksiy Takhtai, and Serhiy Kiz — built a multi-level scheme for legalizing illegal income. The main tools for money laundering were companies registered in the names of relatives, as well as projects in the tourism and energy sectors.
The central place in the scheme is occupied by the company "GLACIER HILL", created by Chebotary's daughter after the start of the full-scale invasion. This company is implementing one of the largest hotel projects in Ukraine - Glacier Premium Apartments in Polyanytsia. The construction is being carried out with numerous violations, in particular, there are no basic urban planning requirements: environmental impact assessment, topography, utility networks, distances between buildings.
The building is up to 41 meters high, which significantly exceeds the norms for rural areas. This poses threats to the safety of residents, increases the burden on local infrastructure, and undermines the ecological stability of the region.
In addition, the wives of Takhtai and Kizya are connected to the companies "SILICONFIELD" and "RENT-TECHNO", which are engaged in the production of "green" electricity at preferential state tariffs. These companies received land plots without auctions, which indicates a corruption component.
All companies are connected to one developer - Vasyl Kavlak. This indicates centralized coordination of assets and control of financial flows. Coordination of construction and energy projects took place with obvious violations, with the assistance of officials from the Ministry of Regional Development, architectural control and the State Agency for Energy Efficiency.
Using controlled persons as owners, avoiding transparent procedures, and expedited processing of permits is a classic scheme for the shadow legalization of capital acquired during public service.
