The SSU together with the SBI have collected evidence against Yevheniy Giner, a russian oligarch, president of the CSKA moscow football club, who is involved in financing russia’s armed aggression.

The suspect is close to russia’s top military and political leadership and has directly assisted the kremlin in launching and waging a war against Ukraine.

According to the investigation, after 24 February 2022 Giner, as the owner of the russian JSC Koshkin Design Bureau of Automated Lines, instructed the company’s management to ensure an uninterrupted supply of cartridges to the occupiers.

This monopoly enterprise is supplying a significant amount of ammunition for various types of small arms that russian invaders have been using since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

Through controlled entities in Ukraine, Giner is also one of the beneficiaries of the VS Energy International Ukraine group of companies, which includes Kirovohradoblenergo, Rivneoblenergo, Chernivtsioblenergo, Zhytomyroblenergo, Khersonoblenergo and Sevastopolenergo.

In addition, using affiliated companies, Giner owns a number of hotels, steel plants and shopping centres in Ukraine.

The High Anti-Corruption Court is currently considering a claim filed by the Ministry of Justice to confiscate the russian assets in question for Ukraine’s benefit.

Apart from that, in 2019 Giner built two thermal power plants in the temporarily occupied Sevastopol and Simferopol and connected them to the russian power grid.

In doing so, the oligarch created an artificial energy dependence of the Ukrainian peninsula on the aggressor state.

Based on the evidence, Giner has been notified of suspicion under Article 27.5, 110.3 of the CCU (aiding and abetting the encroachment on Ukraine’s territorial integrity and inviolability).

These offences are punishable by life imprisonment with confiscation of property.

Since the offender is in russia, comprehensive efforts are underway to bring him to justice.

The investigation was conducted under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor General’s Office.
