$500 million: What other “skeletons” did law enforcement officers find in the closet of Odessa maritime activist Christina Korol
In Odesa, a well-known activist, blogger, head of the public organization Ukrainian Seafarers Union Krystyna Korol was detained during operational and investigative measures. Kristina's father, Yuri Korol, and the curator of the NCFMT training center, Valery Postolatiy, were also detained.
A lot of interesting information can be found about Christina Korol's “work path”.Before creating and leading the public organization Ukrainian Seafarers Union in December 2020, Kristina Korol worked as an ordinary intermediary for L-Strem crewing. Like other agents for money, they were engaged in speeding up the processes of obtaining documents and a guaranteed result for the sailor to pass the exam. After the launch of electronic services for seafarers by government agencies, intermediaries were left behind.
To regain her positions, Kristina Korol organized regular rallies, launched articles in the media, bombarded her with lawyer requests and in other ways, tried to destabilize the already tense situation in the direction of graduating maritime industry specialists.
As a result of these actions, a law was passed No. 3944, thanks to which a loophole appeared for intermediaries – the ability to take money from sailors for confirming their rank by length of service. The sailors, misled by the “activists” of the King, again reached out to the agents.
In just a few months, through intermediaries, she raised more than a million dollars.
At least, this figure is voiced by Ukrainian sailors among themselves. However, the issuance of working documents was stopped by the head of MorAd, Vitaly Kidrativ. The reason for such actions is a quarrel with Christina due to disagreements over the distribution of a possible percentage of the profit from the “agent's”.
After some time, not having received the expected results, the indignant sailors demanded from Christina as the chairman of a public organization that guaranteed free assistance on a voluntary basis, the fulfillment of obligations or the return of the money paid. They staged large-scale protests in Odessa with road closures. The main message was that Christina was deceiving the Ukrainian sailors. In particular, he provides services, saying that he will help with documents. As a result, no documents, no funds.
Also yesterday, operational and investigative measures were carried out in the largest marine training center in Odessa, NCFMT, on Kanatnaya Street. In the course of operational and investigative measures, it turned out that since February of this year, Kristina Korol, together with a group of people, has been earning money on sailors, helping them get the so-called “white ticket” for going to work abroad.
500 million dollars for activist Kristina Korol
The tariff for illegal departure was set depending on the seafarer's position. On average, the amount ranged from 7,500 to 9,000 US dollars. This price included “fake” certificates of the sailor's health. In order for the certificates to “work” and to avoid conscription, rallies were held regularly under the leadership of Kristina Korol and pressure was exerted on the military administration.
Also, during the operational and investigative measures, it became known that the girl worked in conjunction with the curator of the NCFMT training center – Valery Postolatiy. Informally, this training center belongs to the head of the police investigation of the Primorsky district of Odessa, Andrey Mashchenko, who provided the “roof” for the whole scheme.
Today, a measure of restraint will be chosen for Kristina Korol and all those involved in the criminal case. It is known that the girl has been seen more than once in high-profile corruption scandals. Using a large base of sailors, the blogger made a name for herself by staging rallies with provocations. She also has dozens of stories where sailors were promised work without passing the relevant examination tests.
By the way, the transfer of money from sailors to a social worker and further up the corruption scheme was carried out through her own father, Yuri Korol , an equally active participant in the protests. These and other facts of fraud will form the basis of a criminal case. According to preliminary estimates, over 10 months of criminal activity, the group provided “services” worth half a million US dollars.
