Vladislav Molchanov, who is expecting a group of companies "Capital Group", has long been known in Kiev for its large -scale construction projects. However, her name has been increasingly appearing in the news recently, not through business success, but through loud scandals related to buildings, tax issues and offshore schemes.
Journalists analyzed the court cases in which Molchanova firms appear, and found a lot of interesting things in them, writes Anticor.
In November 2023, the Lychakiv District Court of Lviv adopted a permit for searches of premises located in the Retrovville shopping center in the capital district of Vynohradar and owned by Martin LLC. The purpose of the searches was stated "Identify and record information about the circumstances of a criminal offense, search and seize things and documents that are relevant for pre -trial investigation." The case concerns the construction of the lands of the Pushcha-Vodic agro-plant, where residential quarters "Warsaw", "Warsaw Plus", "Dibrova Park" and "Warsaw 2" are erected. The investigation has been conducted since May 2022. From the case file it is known that the lands on which the companies of Molchanova are being conducted are owned by the state and citizens of Ukraine and were previously used by officials of the State Enterprise, the Pushcha-Voditsa agro-plant, for scientific research, and the people of Kiev for recreational purposes. In addition, by law, they are not subject to privatization.

The investigation suspects that the officials of the Pushcha-Voditsa agricultural plant and the Ministry of Agrarian Policy could act on the preliminary conspiracy in favor of companies that are part of the capital of groups. It is about the following companies: Citybudervice LLC, Oliver-Bud LLC, Martin LLC, Kashtanovo City LLC, Concord-DS Plus LLC, Datolit LLC, Projectinvestbud LLC and interprorect LLC .
Law enforcement officers note that officials could abuse their office and indulge in Molchanova companies in the conclusion of investment agreements in order to build these lands with gradual illegal alienation of plots belonging to the citizens of Ukraine, including the complete loss of state control over agro -combine.
In fact, the history of fruit gardens in the vineyard is much longer than since 2022. The first stage of the Warsaw Complex, and with it, the Retrovville shopping center, have been put into operation for a long time. Other LCDs are actively built, despite the litigation.
The court decision that allowed the search in the premises of the Retroville shopping mall, there is an interesting remark. Among the documentation, investigators wanted to find draft records with marks on granting bribes and individuals and the distribution of undue benefit between participants in the criminal scheme. In simple words, law enforcement officers had to look for corruption, probable bribes, as well as documented unconfirmed money, data from mobile phones and computer equipment.

Molchanova's business partners in the said development are Lithuanians Raymondas Tumenas, Agne Ruzgiene and Marina Poznyakova. They are also co -founders of LLC "Kstalt", which also located in the premises of "Retroville", where searches were to take place.
One of the founders of Kstalt LLC in 2012 was the company of asset "Business Garant". It appeared with the capital of groups in the case of probable tax evasion. The pre-trial investigation found that officials of LLC "KUA" Business Garant "operate at the expense of unit closed non-diversified venture investment funds during the financing of the construction of Stolitsa Group. At the same time, the Business Guarantor probably paid some amounts of dividends for Cypriot companies SG Stolitsa Group Limited and Nambel Holdings Limited, thus not declaring them for taxation in Ukraine. The investigation suspected that in 2020 alone, such a scheme allowed firms related to Molchanova, intentionally to evade VAT paying in the amount of UAH 98.8 million.

SG Stolitsa Group Limited is a Cyprus branch of Vladislav Molchanova. The official website states that this "firm, together with Elakol Developments Ltd and Numbel Holdings Ltd, are Cyprus members of" Capital Group "and investment holding companies that are focused on real estate and other business enterprises in Europe.
Although Ukrainian law enforcement agencies, at least in 2021, believed that Cypriot offshore was used not for any prose in Europe, but to minimize taxation in Ukraine. However, the case of non -payment of UAH 98.8 million to the Ukrainian budget has never been developed and was "buried" in the tenets of the judicial system.
From the certificate of the company "Kstalt", which is managed by Lithuanian business partners of Molchanova, the threads are drawn to another criminal case. In 2017, his co -founder was Skopian Holdings Limited. It is registered at the same address with the main firm "Capital Group" Elakol Developments Limited - Cyprus, Nicosia, vul. Kennedy, 64, office 301. Probably this is another company from a number of a number that could be used to refer fictitious dividends.
In the same 2017, we see Nigazum Holdings Limited among the founders of Nigazum Holdings Limited from Cyprus. It is managed by the Yekaterina Tral, who is the director of the Numbel Holdings Ltd mentioned above, which is the Cyprus participant in the capital of Group Molchanova.
Nigazum Holdings Limited, together with Lithuanian partners of Molchanova, was the co -founded of Kyiv Budmegaservice LLC.
In 2016, it got into a scandal with forest building in the Svyatoshinsky district of Kiev. And in the same year the Cypriots received "good" from the Antimonopoly Committee for the purchase of a control package of shares "Budmegaservice".
In 2008, Budmegaservice LLC was entitled to a land plot of 9109 square meters through court. meters on Stetsenko Street in Kiev. In short, the firm asked the court to declare a contract with the Kyiv City Council on the redemption of the said area, which was initially rented LLC "Budmegaservice". The reason was that the Kiev authorities ignored the decision. As a result, the court recognized the contract for the purchase of this site and gave it to the partners of Molchanova, and the Kiev authorities, judging by the absence of appeal, was not opposed. In 2019, Budmegaservice was liquidated, so all the ends of this case were deeply buried.
The key aspects of a court case
One of the most recent criminal cases in which Molchanova's companies and close to it is related to the Kiev agricultural market "Capital". Former market co -owners suspected the developer of the raider seizure, and in criminal proceedings No. 52021000000000296 it is a probable illegal alienation of the land under this object. The investigation suspects that the officials of the Main Department of the State Geocadastre in the Kiev region, due to the change in the purpose of the land plot, alienated in favor of third parties 18 hectares of state property, market value of UAH 19.2 million. The change of purpose was based on the statement of LLC "Market of Agricultural Products" Capital ".
One of the co -founders of the latter is LLC "Modern Market Innovations", which through the company "Oils" belongs to the group of companies "Capital of Group". Until November 2021, the beneficiary of "Modern Market Innovation" was the son of Vladislav Molchanova Ivan, which in recent years almost all key companies of the developer group were copied.
In July 2024, the NABU detectives were searched in the mentioned case on the Metropolitan Market. Among the removed, in particular, was a mobile phone that belongs to the civilian man of Molchanova Sergey Korovchenko. Law enforcement officers found a correspondence in it that concerns the specified land under the market, in particular the scanning of lease agreements, etc. Korovchenko's phone was removed and, judging from the latest court decisions, remains under arrest as a material evidence.
Journalists analyzed only part of criminal cases against companies related to Vladislav Molchanova. But they are enough to understand that the illegal alienation of land, the use of official position by officials, withdrawal of offshore and non -payment of taxes to the budget of Ukraine is a common thing for the developer.
