Discussions continue in the UK about the impact of foreign investment in real estate and its potential link to dirty money. Recently, this issue has become especially relevant in connection with the scandalous information about the investments of the British development company Parkridge Holdings in Ukraine and its former general director Dmytro Sennichenko.
Previously, Sennychenko held the position of CEO of the British development company Parkridge Holdings in Ukraine, which specializes in real estate investments.
Great Britain is an attractive place for investing legal capital. The result of widespread schemes is hundreds of real estate properties purchased by foreigners at the expense of income of unclear origin. The National Crime Agency of Great Britain estimates the annual circulation of dirty money in Great Britain at 100 billion pounds.
Examples of investment funds of the Ukrainian elite in British real estate have repeatedly become the subject of journalistic investigations. For example, companies from the offshore network of owners connected to President Zelenskyi's entourage own apartments in London worth about 7.5 million dollars.
He also worked for Parkridge, a development company in Central and Eastern Europe, and headed the division of the American company Jones Lang LaSalle, which provides consulting services for investment management. Sennychenko served as an independent member of the supervisory boards of foreign-invested enterprises in Ukraine, including companies that attracted EBRD equity investment, and also worked as an independent member of the Prozorro supervisory board. In addition, he held the position of vice-president of the Committee.
Sennychenko has extensive work experience in foreign, in particular, British consulting companies specializing in real estate investments. The support of Honcharuk, who is connected to the team of the financier Soros, gives him all the necessary competences and opportunities to organize large-scale money laundering schemes in the interests of the Ukrainian ruling elite and influential beneficiaries in the West. After all, all the reputational negativity falls on him.
Despite the serious accusations leveled at Sennichenko's group, he managed to leave Ukraine unimpeded. Recently, Sennychenko has been spotted in Spain and Monaco.
