As the journalists of our publication found out, Ivan Fedorov has a card account with the Russian JSC MOSKOMBANK, which is not reflected in his declarations .
The choice of a banking institution in the Russian Federation for opening an account is also interesting. Yes, the Russian "MOSCOMBANK" is a rather specific financial institution with a central office not far from the Kremlin. At the same time, the bank is practically unknown to the general public: there is not much information about the final beneficiaries, and the bank itself has only 4 ATMs.
According to our publication, the uncle of the head of ZOVA, Ivan Fedorov, worked in the security forces of the Russian Federation, and after retirement he joined the security service of one of the Russian banks. Perhaps it is precisely this fact that led to Fedorov's choice of a bank to open an account.
It is worth noting that Ivan Fedorov is a frequent visitor to the Russian Federation and the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea, so opening an account in a Russian bank seems logical.
According to our sources in the State Border Service, in the period from 2014 to 2019, Ivan Fedorov crossed the border with the TOT of the Republic of Crimea thirteen times by motor vehicle through the Chongar checkpoint , flew to Moscow three times and visited Minsk twice. Agree, rather strange "geography" for a Ukrainian official.
Also, in the data of the State Border Service, our attention was drawn to Ivan Fedorov's frequent trips to Istanbul, the traditional meeting place of Russian special agents with their agents. So, for the period from 2007 to 2022, we counted 16 trips by Fedorov to Istanbul.
