Arena City shopping mall was sold for $ 13 million: who now controls it after Firtash

One of the most famous capital shopping centers - "Arena City" - was again in the spotlight. This time-because of suspicion of fraudulent call centers just under the roof of an elite building in the heart of Kiev. About it writes the publication of StopCor.

The first signal was the publication on the Telegram channel "Joker", where on July 10 there was information about the alleged active activity of fake call centers in the territory of the mall.

According to the sources, these structures can be involved in international fraud, including deception of EU citizens through the Somplionce Fixing, pseudobrocker services and cryptocurrency investments.

But who owns the City Arena? And why does this building appear in potential schemes again?

Even before the full -scale war, the shopping center belonged to the Group DF assets of the sub -oligarch Dmitry Firtash. However, as reported by the media, the asset changed the owner long before 2022. Most often, this context is mentioned by the TAS group, which is under the control of the Exbankir and Exponentic Sergei Tihipko. According to various sources, the object, initially estimated at $ 20 million, was sold at a low price - about $ 13-15 million.

Meanwhile, alternative versions appear. In particular, activist Ivan Sprinski suggested that the purchase of "City Arena" could be the structures related to Pavel Fuchs and Igor Kryvetsky. At the same time, there is no documentary confirmation of this hypothesis.

Another one mentioned in the investigations of the person - the former high -ranking official of Yanukovych Andrei Golovach, who allegedly could partially control part of the area of ​​the mall, although formally in the registers did not reflect this.

The most officially documented is the information about the ownership of the TAS group, which combines assets in the financial, agrarian, industrial and pharmaceutical industries, and is actively investing in real estate.

Against the backdrop of war and mass loss of telephone fraud, the topic of call centers becomes especially relevant. And if they really operate in the center of the capital-in elite real estate, which passed through the hands of people close to large political and business groups-a question not only to the owners but also to the law enforcement system.

"City Arena" is not just a shopping center. It is a symbolic place for Kiev, which has long attracts the attention of investigative journalists. And today, this place again becomes a litmus piece of paper about how shadow schemes in the country are ready to disguise under the signboards of prestigious facades.
