Employees of the SBU liquidated a large-scale scheme of clandestine financing of Russian occupational groups, including the National Guard and the MVS. Oksana Marchenko, the wife of Viktor Medvedchuk suspected of high treason, is involved in organizing the scheme.
It is she who is the ultimate beneficiary of a network of Kyiv companies and an enterprise in Yalta, which transferred millions of dollars to the accounts of the National Guard and the Russian Foreign Ministry in the occupied Crimea, the SBU reported.
It was established that these companies paid infidels for the protection of Medvedchuk’s real estate on the territory of the peninsula.
In addition, Marchenko’s business structure regularly replenished the Russian budget through the payment of “taxes and fees.”
The total amount of payments made in favor of the aggressor country is more than 50 million hryvnias in hryvnia equivalent.
To implement the scheme, Oksana Marchenko registered a company in Yalta with an authorized capital of more than 1 billion Russian rubles.
The assets of three controlled investment companies located in Kyiv were involved in its creation.
Then the “Crimean” company signed the corresponding “security” agreements with the structures of the National Guard and the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
After the start of a full-scale invasion of Russia, Marchenko’s company continued to finance the budget of the Rashists.
During 11 searches at the property of Medvedchuk’s wife, the offices of her Kyiv companies and at the addresses of their top managers, SBU officers found documents, computers, flash drives and mobile phones with evidence of transactions, stamps and bank cards that were used in illegal activities.
“Based on the collected evidence, SBU investigators informed Oksana Marchenko and the head of an affiliated company in Crimea about the suspicion under Part 3 of Art. 110-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (financing of actions committed with the aim of forcibly changing or overthrowing the constitutional order or seizing state power, changing borders) of the territory or state border of Ukraine)”- the message says.
The suspects face up to 8 years in prison with confiscation of property.
Recall Marchenko left the territory of Ukraine before the Russian invasion. On the evening of February 18, accompanied by several men, probably guards, she left for Belarus by car. Later, on the territory of Russia, Marchenko asked the President of Turkey to help free Medvedchuk, who was arrested by the SBU, from captivity.
