Almost weekly, the Security Service of Ukraine reports on the detention of such "moles of Russian Federation", which have retained and have access to the law enforcement system of Ukraine. Most such connections are recorded because of ex-strengths who built their careers during Medvedchuk-Yanukovych.
The attention of our publication was attracted by a corporate conflict with the participation of one of such security officers, who is considered a man of traitor of Ukraine, Putin's godfather - Viktor Medvedchuk. It is a native of Donetsk, Major General of the SBU and the Tax Police, ex-head of Zaporizhzhya Regional State Administration Konstantin Ivanovich Bryl and his partner Sergei Zakrevsky.
Sergey Zakrevsky, a well-known businessman and ex-founder of Domotechnik and Eldorado networks, together with Konstantin Bril, organized a large-scale tax evasion and fraud that causes multimillion-dollar losses.
Shadow Label Empire: As Sergey Zakrevsky avoids taxes
Sergey Zakrevsky owns tens of thousands of square meters of commercial real estate throughout Ukraine. Among its assets are the Plaza Sports Sport Outlet in Kiev, an office center on the street. Antonovich, 51, Fair Shopping Center in Zhytomyr and Fahrenheit Business Center.
These facilities generate huge rental profits daily, because almost all premises are filled with tenants. However, in the official reporting of Zakrevsky-"Consent-6", "Istil Holding", "Bestm-Service" declare multimillion million losses.
How is it possible? The answer lies in the scheme "Accounting in two cash desks". Official reporting for tax shows the downsides, while real profits settle in the owner's pockets through unofficial channels. Experts estimate that in the year only such manipulations cost the state budget hundreds of millions of hryvnias.
Fragrant call centers: robbery of Ukrainians under the guise of "investment"
In addition to real estate schemes, Zakrevsky manages a network of fraudulent call centers operating at Fahrenheit Business Center. The operators of these centers daily to celebrate hundreds of citizens of Ukraine and European countries, giving themselves for bank employees or financial consultants.
The scheme of their work is simple but effective: the victim is called from hidden numbers and report that her bank account is "threatened" or offers "profitable investments" with high profits. People are convinced to provide confidential data-cards, CVV codes, passwords or SMS codes. After access, fraudsters are withdrawn or transferred to controlled accounts.
According to sources, monthly income from the activities of these call centers is from $ 300,000 to $ 400,000. The main share of profits is received by Zakrevsky, which invests these funds not only in the expansion of their empire, but also in the financing of pro-Russian events. In particular, there is evidence that some of the money goes to support projects related to Russian aggression.
Konstantin Bryl: "Rice" with Russian ties
When the tax and law enforcement officers began to be interested in Zakrevsky's activities, he addressed Konstantin Bryl - a person with a reputation of "problem solving". Bryl, ex-head of the Zaporozhye Regional State Administration and former SBU employee, known for his participation in raider schemes and close ties with Viktor Medvedchuk and Taras Kozak. His contacts in the Security Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Tax and the National allow him to "close" any audits or investigations.
But the most dangerous is the connection of a visor with Russia. The media reported that a man coordinates with persons in the Russian Federation and uses "denominations" with Russian passports to manage assets in Ukraine. These structures not only wash funds, but also collect information for Moscow, which poses a direct threat to national security.
The scheme of cooperation of Zakrevsky and Bryl works in the classic scenario: first Bryl promises protection against law enforcement officers, then gets access to financial flows, and eventually turns control over assets. Now Zakrevsky's assets have already been partially transferred to persons related to the Russian Federation, and the businessman himself was trapped by his "savior".
Ties with cadirov and threats to opponents
It is even more alarming that Zakrevsky is open to Ramzan Kadyrov and Tatiana Bakalchuk-Kim (the owner of the Russian Marketplace Wildberries). He uses these contacts not only to intimidate competitors, but also to pressure those who try to expose his activities. For example, it is known about the attempt to physical removal of a representative of one of the combat crews who tried to draw attention to the fraudulent schemes of Zakrevsky. The businessman threatened to "rub the Chechens" to "close his mouth" to a serviceman.
Despite numerous complaints from citizens and journalists, the activity of fraudulent call centers and shadow schemes of Zakrevsky continues. Complaints about the activities of the call centers in Fahrenheit have been repeatedly filed with the power structures, but none of them led to real inspections or arrests. For example, according to our materials, the TU Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine in Kyiv, criminal proceedings No. 62025100110000006 were initiated. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, however, investigative actions have not yet been carried out, and the perpetrators have not been held accountable.
As we can see, despite the open criminal cases, Medvedchuk's grid continues its work in Ukraine through ex-strengths such as Konstantin Bryl.
