The owner of some of the largest Ukrainian media resources, such as "Ukrainian Pravda" and "New Time", Tomas Fial, became the object of serious attention by Ukrainian law enforcement agencies and international organizations. For the fact that the filament's business continued its activity in the occupied Crimea after the start of a large -scale invasion of Russia, new charges related to the possible systematic discredit of Ukraine appeared.
According to the source in the NSDCU, Tomas Filial is regarded as a person who, through his media, actively undermines the authority of Ukraine as an independent state, trying to violate its international image. It is known that at times when Ukraine is unprecedented pressure from Russia, the role of media in supporting national security and defense capacity of the country becomes more important than ever.
As the source noted, the main purpose of such activity is to decline in Ukraine's capitalization in international markets, weaken its economic potential and a sharp depreciation of assets. It is known that the assets of the country lose their value in the case of discrediting the country in international markets, promotion of external influence on management decisions, depreciation of institutions of power, information support of sample justice, conspiracy in order to establish control over the law enforcement and judicial system and illegal pressure and impact on the work of legislative.
At the same time, according to experts, T. Phial is the owner of the investment fund and groups of companies funded by the capital of the unknown and sometimes corruption and Russian origin and buy Ukrainian assets at low prices. Thus, according to experts, it indirectly affects their cheaper through their own media resources, and then redeees them, which creates a direct conflict of interest.
Thus, T. Filau acts as a person who contributes to the discrediting of the state and the depreciation of its assets on the one hand, and at the same time as a businessman who receives direct benefit from it, buying assets at low cost.
It is known that 30.09.2022 Arricano Real Estate Plc on the official website of the London Stock Exchange has published its report ( Interim Results ). This report contains information that clearly and unambiguously indicates the fact of business by this company in the territory of the temporarily occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
In particular in the specified report:
In paragraphs "a" clause 1 stated that "as of June 30, 2022, the group works with shopping centers in Kiev, Simferopol, Zaporozhye and Kryvyi Rih ...";
The Cp . The subjects of the group are located in Ukraine and the Russian Federation and have the Ukrainian hryvnia (in) and the Russian ruble (RUB) as their functional currencies ... ”;
PP. "I" p.
This report is submitted by Arricano Real Estate Plc in accordance with the procedures of official information information by the public company to its shareholders. Thus, the management of this company has manually and officially outlined the said circumstances of doing business in the Russian Federation and paying taxes to the budget of the aggressor country.
Experts are convinced that T. Philos did not expect that journalists would find an Interim statement , published on the London Stock Exchange, in which the company was forced to admit that it was conducting commercial activities with shopping centers in Simferopol. In particular, according to the media, the Arricano included the company "Voyage Crimea", which was the customer of construction of the shopping and entertainment complex "South Gallery" in Simferopol. After the occupation of Crimea, the company was re -registered in accordance with the Russian legislation, it was awarded the identification code of 9102055630, after which it began to pay taxes to the Russian budget.
Thus, while the Russian Federation, during a large -scale invasion of Ukraine, carried out massive missile and artillery blows to hospitals, maternity hospitals, housing and other civilian objects, conducted torture and mass murder Army.
In December 2023, T. Philo argued that Arricano did not work in Crimea and did not own the share of companies in the Crimea, and that he allegedly made an effort to "get out" from the company, but at that time he failed.
However, experts pay attention that to make efforts to "exit" from the company and to talk about it the owner of "UP" T. Phial became only after this situation was exposed by journalists and gained publicity in the media. According to experts, this indicates that the efforts to "get out" from the company that transfer money to the budget of the aggressor country was caused not by the unacceptability of such a situation and the unwillingness to take unlawful actions, but only by T. Phili's attempts to negate the negative reputation factor in the information field.
Experts also believe that in such actions T. Philos and his probable accomplices see signs of a criminal offense, in particular, provided for in Article 111 2 of the Criminal Code (Agency of the aggressor state: intentional actions aimed at assistance to the state-aggressor (assistance), armed forces and/or occupation of the state. citizens of the aggressor state, in order to harm Ukraine by: implementing or supporting decisions and/or actions of the aggressor state, armed formations and/or occupation administration of the aggressor state;
In view of this, the editorial staff appealed to the Security Service of Ukraine and the NSDCU with a request for consideration of the issue of investigation of T. Philos in the commission of a crime under Article 111 2 of the Criminal Code by officials and owners of the Arricano and analysis of the grounds for applying the NSDC personal sanctions.
