The son of the former head of the DPS of Sumy region and the deputy of the Rivne City Council from the "servant of the people" by Elena Khotenko - Mykola Khotenko - became a figure that raises many questions from journalists and anti -corruption experts. Despite the minor, the young man has a profitable business, conducts financial interaction with his mother, has significant monetary assets and is associated with enterprises engaged in the production of minerals.
As the detective bureau found out, Mykola Khotenko declared UAH 5.63 million in income from entrepreneurship in 2024. In addition, he received a salary of 9 thousand hryvnias at the Outstaf-Consult-Service LLC, a company he himself owns. It is noteworthy that this business was originally registered as a beauty salon, but later changed the profile for the extraction of sand, clay and kaolin.
The young entrepreneur's accounts also declared more than UAH 2 million in cash, $ 20,000 and $ 20,000. His corporate rights in OutstaF-Consult-Service were estimated at UAH 326,000.
The financial relations between Nicholas and his mother also do not go unnoticed. Elena Khotenko received his salary from the same company (17 thousand hryvnias), and also declared income from her son - 320 thousand hryvnias. According to documents, it is a profit from the alienation of securities.
In addition, Elena Khotenko declared a loan from her son in the amount of UAH 2.8 million. However, before dismissal, she has already indicated another source of funds - her mother Lyudmila Timofeenko, who is a Russian citizen and, according to the registers, is related to a number of companies of the Khotenko family. Experts consider it a nominal person in business structures.
Another company that currently owns Mykola Khotenko - Inter Resource LLC in Rivne region. The company is engaged in sand extraction, has two sections with mineral deposits, and its previous owner was Vladimir Supukukukiv.
Public attention to Elena Khotenko also attracts her relations with the exitator Alexei Kavilin, whom public organizations are suspected in corruption schemes and cooperation with a business that is working bypassing sanctions in the territory of temporarily occupied Crimea.
The situation in which a minor is actually the owner of structures with millions of turnover, looks like an example of the use of family relationships and nominal figures to avoid responsibility and concealment of real beneficiaries.
