On April 18, the “Kharkiv Anti-Corruption Center” published an investigation into criminal schemes for the transfer and resale of Ukrainian grain from the Russia-occupied territories.
Experts point out that for this, Russian representatives create companies that are registered with little-known people, such as a “bioenergetic psychologist” or a dubious businessman from Rostov.
Using the example of the theft of Ukrainian grain from Russia-occupied (in 2022) Kupyansky District of Kharkiv Region and the aggressor-created criminal structure “Food Resources” (“Prodovolstvennye Resursy”), it is indicated that the “accounts” of this “enterprise” were criminally serviced by the “International Settlement Bank”, about the machinations of which in the occupied territories the ARC repeatedly wrote.
Experts point out that the Russian company “Helios Plus” was involved in the looting of grain from Kupyansk and sunflower from the Russia-occupied Starobelsk, Luhansk Region, and in the Luhansk region they stole products worth more than 6 billion hryvnias.
At the same time, the ARC in 2022 wrote about the schemes of the corresponding looting with the involvement of the criminal “governor” of Sevastopol Mikhail Razvozhaev and his henchmen.
Now experts point to the decisions of the Ukrainian courts, according to which the indicated grain was transported “not for military operations and not to meet the needs of the population, but for selfish purposes and for reasons of personal unlawful enrichment, … to the seaports of the Russian Federation and of the temporarily occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea, from where sent to other countries under the guise of export products.
Also, experts point out, in addition to “Helios-Plus”, two more Russian firms, “Agromir” from the Rostov Region and Stroytek, were engaged in looting in Russia-occupied Starobelsk.
At the same time, the criminal connection of “Stroytek” with the “Agrofirma-Bulyuk” structure, controlled by Kherson collaborators, in particular Vitaly Bulyuk, the godfather of Igor Kaletnik, an ex-people’s deputy from the Communist Party, who voted for the “dictatorial laws” of January 16, was traced. The collaborator Vitaliy Bulyuk himself headed the Kherson customs from 2007 to 2015, was lustred and then sued.
The experts of “Kharkiv Anti-Corruption Center” justifiably propose to include these persons in the sanctions lists of civilized countries of the world.
