On July 29, “Schemes” published an investigation into the activities of the parents of the Crimean collaborator and “head of the state council’s committee” Ivan Manucharov, whom we have repeatedly described. Journalists have established that the parents of this Vladimir Konstantinov’s protégé, Andrey and Natalya Manucharovs, own networks of microcredit organizations in the Ukraine-controlled territory – “Prosto Ssuda” and “Time Credit”.
It is indicated, that the Manucharovs’ clan have “Russian passports” issued in occupied Crimea, that Andrey Manucharov not only visited the peninsula after 2014, but also participated, as a “naval veteran”, in the aggressor’s propaganda events in Sevastopol, and he was also spotted in Abkhazia together with Konstantin Zatulin. Previously, Manucharov Sr. headed the state association “Ukrmorport”, and then, by “coincidence”, was an adviser to the general director of the aggressor’s federal enterprise “Rosmorport”.
Let us recall, that, among other things, Ivan Manucharov became in Crimea a de facto “talking head” for the “mobile operator” “Miranda”, which the aggressor is now making the main “telephony tool” and, accordingly, laundering billions on online transactions for all occupied territories of Ukraine.
Commenting on this situation, Professor Borys Babin pointed out that Ivan Manucharov in occupied Crimea is not just a “state council deputy”, but also Konstantinov’s “left hand” and is generally a key figure in the sphere of “promoting Russian mobile communications and the Internet” through the notorious “Miranda”, adding that the occupiers are quite happy with the fact that his father pays taxes to Ukraine, since “every hryvnia of Manucharov’s to the National Bank gives the Kremlin a bloody benefit tenfold, if not a hundredfold.”
