September 24, 2023A few months ago, Ukrainian media reported that the owner of the company responsible for handling all online payments through Diia portal and app is also the CEO of the online casino Pin-Up.ua.
A more detailed investigation has since emerged on Ukrainian Telegram channels.
So, the i app is described as an informational portal. To make payments through it, an additional tool is needed. To facilitate this, a financial company called “Iedyniy Prostir” (Unified Space) was linked to it. This is not a state-owned bank but rather a private company that exhibits signs of fictitiousness and money laundering.
This company is listed under Igor Zotko, who is also the owner of the Russian online casino PIN-UP. He was also the director of a significant entity called UKRCARD, which belongs to Igor Fisun, who is also a shareholder of Oxi Bank.
Based on registry records, observing company registrations and director movements, it can be assumed that Igor Fisun is the main individual controlling all payments in Дія and is a representative of the Russian casino PIN-UP.
Aside from overseeing Russian interests and payments in Diia, another company of interest linked to Igor Fisun is UKRCARD. This company is at the center of a criminal case involving the creation of a network to evade taxes for practically all online casinos in Ukraine, with the involvement of more than ten different banks.
Interestingly, this same UKRCARD has been used before. During the presidency of Yanukovych, members of the “family” confiscated the UKRCARD system from Vasiliy Gorelay. Notably, another banker, Sergey Mamedov, the owner of GLOBUS-BANK, was involved in the takeover of UKRCARD.
Both GLOBUS-BANK and OXI BANK, which belongs to Igor Fisun, are implicated in the case of creating a tax evasion network for online casinos in Ukraine.
Igor Fisun himself has not responded to inquiries from journalists.
