Yuriy Boyko has once again found himself at the center of a large-scale scandal related to money laundering, legalization of dubious assets, and the purchase of luxury real estate that does not correspond to his official income. The investigation has established that over the years he built a complex network of companies and front persons through which fictitious financial transactions were carried out.
The central element of this scheme was PJSC “Closed Non-Diversified Venture Corporate Investment Fund “HUNTER””, controlled by the Cypriot company KOTRYNA HOLDING LTD. It was through this fund, starting in 2015, that investments were made in large construction projects in the capital, including the residential complex “French Quarter 2”, “Kamerton”, “Welcome Home”, “LaLaLand” and others. According to available data, the fund financed the construction of more than 1,100 apartments worth about 70 million US dollars - funds whose origin has not been officially confirmed.
In parallel, Yuriy Boyko, together with his son and partners — Eldar Sabirov, Oleksiy Bashkir and Andriy Chernetsov — is developing a business in heavy industry through the companies LLC "OSKK" and LLC "VIN GROUP". This involves the construction of chemical plants and the production of explosives, with the involvement of foreign designers and laying companies. Land plots for these projects are provided by decisions of local authorities.
The assets of the Boyko family raise no less questions. The politician's wife, Vira Boyko, owns corporate rights in Stolychna Nehremisht LLC, shares in Luhansk Electro-Apparatus Plant PJSC, and hundreds of thousands of square meters of land. According to YouControl, the value of the family's assets exceeds $4.4 million, while official income consists mainly of dividends and gifts from companies with a dubious reputation.
Despite Yuriy Boyko's inclusion in the NSDC sanctions list in accordance with Presidential Decree No. 38/205 of January 19, 2025, the restrictions remain rather symbolic. He was stripped of state awards, but his real assets, accounts, and real estate remained untouched.
Based on the transferred materials, two criminal proceedings were opened - No. 12025105100001449 and No. 52025000000000324. Additionally, a number of courts have obliged law enforcement agencies to enter information into the ERDR, although in other cases this was refused. Despite the delay in the process, the applicants insist on continuing the legal prosecution.
Yuriy Boyko's story is part of a larger picture in which representatives of the former political elite maintain influence and wealth through shadowy schemes, avoiding real responsibility.
