Kharkiv oligarch Oleksandr Yaroslavsky, who has been living in London since the start of the full-scale invasion, was able to "solve" in Ukrainian courts for a fatal road accident and a number of other criminal cases related to money laundering and treason.
We will remind you that in May of this year, the Kyiv District Court of Kharkiv issued a verdict in the case of concealment of a crime in a fatal road accident involving the motorcade of businessman Oleksandr Yaroslavskyi, which occurred on February 9, 2022 on the Kharkiv - Kyiv - Dovzhanskyi highway.

According to media reports, the Mercedes-Benz G-63 AMG that caused the accident was personally driven by Oleksandr Yaroslavsky, who immediately flew to London after the incident. And completely different people , but they were not punished either, having served suspended sentences.
the case of the embezzlement and "laundering" of several billion hryvnias during the scam with Ukrtatnafta, which ended up in the accounts of companies in the DCH group of Oleksandr Yaroslavsky, was "paused
We remind you that in March of this year, 49 searches were conducted in the offices of the DCH group by operatives of the State Crime Suppression Unit and investigators of the Main Investigation Department of the National Police. In particular, in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odessa and Dnipro, in the office premises and at the residence addresses of the group's top management.

Operatives of the Department of Strategic Investigations established that companies controlled by the organizer of the scheme concluded contracts with the oil refining corporation for the supply of petroleum products, for which they were not paid. Instead, they legalized the funds received through a number of fictitious transactions.
For this, the National Police investigators announced to all nine members of the organized group suspicion of appropriation of someone else's property through abuse of official position by an official, committed by an organized group, on a particularly large scale (Part 5, Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). In addition, the police imposed arrests on the securities accounts of a French investment company related to the ex-chairman and on the corporate rights of a number of enterprises.
During the further investigation, the police established that the companies to which the fuel was shipped were not the final recipients of funds from its further sale. For the most part, these funds were transferred on the basis of fictitious agreements to the companies of the financial and industrial group. At the same time, DCH called the searches “illegal” and accused law enforcement officers of “unjustified pressure on the business activities of the group.”
In the context of Oleksandr Yaroslavsky's ability to negotiate with courts and law enforcement, it is also worth mentioning the scandal surrounding the attempted sale of the strategic Ukrainian enterprise Motor Sich to the Chinese. Strictly speaking, the Chinese were not interested in the enterprise itself, but in the secret advanced technologies of the design bureau for the production of aircraft and helicopter engines.

As a reminder, in January 2018, the Security Service of Ukraine summoned Oleksandr Yaroslavsky to testify as a witness in criminal proceedings against PJSC Motor Sich under Art. 14 (“Preparation for a criminal offense”), Art. 111 (“High treason”), Art. 113 (“Sabotage”) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
has been for the third year on these charges . But Alexander Yaroslavsky's plans clearly did not include visiting the Lukyanovsky pre-trial detention center, so through his Russian friends Russian sanctions were imposed against Yaroslavsky on November 1, 2018 .

Thanks to the timely imposition of Russian sanctions, the issue of Yaroslavsky's treason at the official level lost relevance, which gave him the opportunity to continue lobbying Sino-Russian interests for access to Motor Sich's secret developments.
Ultimately, the deal was blocked by the Americans, who were categorically against the Russians and Chinese gaining access to such technologies. Especially since at that time, American intelligence had already recorded the preparation of Russian troops for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
In the context of the “Chinese-Russian trace” in the biography of Oleksandr Yaroslavsky, it is worth noting separately that the Kharkiv businessman holds a British passport. After all, London courts are not as loyal to billionaires with a Russian-Chinese background as Ukrainian ones.
