Andrii Hmyryn, one of the organisers of schemes to embezzle billions of hryvnias from state-owned enterprises controlled by the SPFU, registered a business abroad and purchased luxury property.
According to Censor.NET, this is stated in an investigation by Bihus.Info.
In addition to the former heads of the SPFU, Dmytro Sennychenko and Andrii Hmyrin, eight suspects were put on the wanted list in the case.
According to Bihus.Info, Andrii Hmyrin's family owns at least three companies in the United Arab Emirates.
"In April 2023, a Dubai-based company set up a company in France, GFD COTE D'AZUR, which in turn acquired a villa and five plots of land on the French Riviera. The cost is about EUR 5 million," the article says.
According to journalists, Andrii Gmyrin's family has also become the owners of a Cranchi Settantotto 78 yacht. The price of a similar one is about 5.5 million euros. The yacht was purchased by GFB COMPANY LTD, a company registered in the British Virgin Islands. According to Bihus.Info, the company is owned by Ukrainian Yevhen Holovin, a Dubai-based business partner of Andrii Gmyrin.
Andrii Hmyrin's parents also have a business in Croatia. We are talking about 6 real estate companies. The financial documents of the companies show millions of euros.
In his article, Censor.NET editor-in-chief Yurii Butusov previously noted that "a stable group for direct influence on the shadow economy has been created in the OP under the leadership of Andrii Yermak". According to the sources, Andrii Hmyryn became the "watchdog" for the shadow flows.
As a reminder, the NABU and the SAPO exposed a criminal organisation headed by former Head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine Dmytro Sennychenko, which seized more than half a billion hryvnias in 2020-2021. The head of the SPFU, together with his accomplices, appointed his people as directors of "Odesa Port Plant" JSC and "United Mining and Chemical Company" JSC. The latter, in turn, entered into illegal contracts and sold products to the companies in question at reduced prices.
Later, the NABU put Sennychenko on the wanted list and is going to request his extradition.
