NABU and the SAPO have concluded their investigation into the case involving Hmyrin and Kolot regarding the legalization of assets
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) have completed a pretrial investigation into four individuals suspected of laundering assets obtained through criminal means by members of a criminal organization which, according to investigators, was led by the former head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine.
According to law enforcement officials, to launder corrupt assets, the suspects established foreign companies through which they registered various properties abroad.
The investigation claims that the following were registered through these companies:
- land plots in Croatia;
- expensive cars;
- an entire floor of apartments in a residential building in the United Arab Emirates;
- other assets.
The total value of the property that, according to investigators, was laundered exceeds 300 million hryvnias.
The NABU reported that four individuals were notified of the charges against them in February 2026.
At the same time, law enforcement officials noted that as early as March 2023, they had uncovered two instances of activity by a suspected criminal organization.
The first involves the Odesa Port Plant, 99.56% of whose shares are owned by the state.
The second incident is linked to the United Mining and Chemical Company, 100% of whose shares are state-owned.
According to the investigation, the total amount of losses from these two incidents exceeds 700 million hryvnias.
NABU noted that the participants in the scheme were identified thanks to the work of a joint investigative team involving law enforcement agencies from several European countries.
This was reported by the NABU press service.
As a reminder, NABU and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) have referred to court the case of a former member of parliament whose actions resulted in millions in losses to the state. According to media reports, Andriy Hmyryn, a former advisor to the head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine, is also a defendant in this case; his relatives quickly became millionaires.
Recently, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) announced new charges against four individuals from a criminal group led by the former head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine (SPFU), Dmytro Sennychenko, and his advisor Andriy Hmyryn. They laundered funds by creating a network of foreign companies through which they registered luxury assets: from land plots in Croatia and high-end cars to real estate in the United Arab Emirates.
