Journalists estimated that during 2025, law enforcement officers “merged” several high-profile criminal cases of money laundering in online casinos for a total amount of about 20 billion hryvnias.
In particular, we are talking about a number of high-profile cases, including the iBox Bank case of Alena Degryk-Shevtsova, where the state budget lost about 5 billion hryvnias corrupt judges from Oleg Tatarov's orbit
Practically according to this scheme, the Ukrainian budget lost about 10 billion hryvnias in the case of the Pin-Up casino of Russian Dmitry Punin and another approximately 5.8 billion hryvnias in the case of the Cosmolot casino of Russian Sergey Tokarev.
We will remind, the cases of money laundering of online casinos were conducted by the BEB, the State Bureau of Investigation and the UCP, which were actually controlled by Oleg Tatarov.
According to journalists from the TG channel “ Cards, Money, Offshore ”, all three cases developed according to the same scenario: first arrests, then high-profile PR, then missed investigation deadlines, and in the end, “ courts close cases on formal grounds .”
