BEGINNING: Andrei Stafinsky – the file of the main “washer” of the insurance market. PART 1
Andrey Shtafinsky – scams and connections of the main “schemer” of the insurance market. PART 2
In the second part of our journalistic investigation about the main “washer” of the Ukrainian insurance market, Andrey Shtafinsky, we will talk about the schemes and connections with the help of which he has been conducting his illegal activities for several years now, writes telegraph.
Berlin Viktor Mikhailovich
Berlin Viktor Mikhailovich is a partner, close friend and, one might say, mentor of Andrei Shtafinsky. At one time, with the light hand of Victor Berlin, Andrei Mikhailovich ended up in the Dominanta insurance company, where he began the process of money laundering and theft of company funds. Based on the results of Shtafinsky’s vigorous activity in 2018, law enforcement officers opened criminal proceedings No. 42018100000000850 on the fact of complicity in tax evasion on an especially large scale with the participation of ST Dominanta LLC, where Shtafinsky is the main suspect. However, an interesting detail escaped the attention of law enforcement officers: that the actual owner of ST “Dominanta” was the same Victor Berlin, and all the fraud did not take place without his knowledge. At that time, Viktor Mikhailovich was helped by connections in the circle of fugitive President Viktor Yanukovych to get away with it. Berlin currently holds the post of General Director of Guardian Insurance Company.
Kim Galina Grigorievna
Kim Galina Grigorievna – previously worked as the chief accountant at the Dominanta insurance company; according to the most conservative estimates, during her work she managed to withdraw more than 20 million hryvnia to her accounts. Afterwards, she moved to USI Insurance Company, taking the post of chairman, where she enriched herself by another 50 million hryvnia, working under a CV of 87% in the market for those traveling abroad. Galina Grigorievna runs two cash registers – white and black. In white 1/4 or maybe 1/5 of all fees. Everything else passes the cash register and the company’s shareholders are not always aware of the real volumes. Galina Grigorievna is connected with Andrei Shtafinsky by a number of projects, which we will describe in detail in the next part of our journalistic investigation.
Yavtushenko Yuri
Yavtushenko Yuri is a close friend and long-time partner of Andrei Shtafinsky in financial scams. Everyone in the insurance market calls Yavtushenko a “scavenger” – he is picked up by Insurance companies where there are financial problems. And when these problems do not exist, but there are interesting assets, then problems are created artificially. The assistance company Finance-Line LLC constantly monitors all small Ukrainian insurance companies. And as soon as he sees a suitable victim, he immediately informs the public association “Ukrainian Insurance Ombudsman”, who firstly collects all the “dissatisfied” clients of this insurance company and submits complaints from them to the appropriate authorities: to the courts and, for example, MTIBU, if this concerns payments for insurance cases with cars. With a sufficient number of complaints, the same MTIBU issues a smaller number of insurance forms, and the prosecutor’s office and the courts create nightmares for the owners. And then “Finance Line” appears again, which offers to pay the insured “debts” for insured events for 30% of their value, because supposedly their insurance is on its last legs. And Yuri Yavtushenko comes to the owner and, as a benefactor, offers to buy out the company. In June 2017, the SBU visited the offices of the Salamandra-Ukraine insurance company, owned by Yavtushenko. According to the SBU, law enforcement officers identified and destroyed a large-scale financial scheme associated with fictitious risk insurance, in which Yuriy Yavtushenko was involved. The SBU believes that almost 4.5 billion UAH were “laundered” in this way.
Yuri Yavtushenko also appeared in several criminal proceedings. One case (opened by Pechersky RU, No. 12013110060004593) concerned the fraudulent actions of officials of the Ukrainian Environmental Insurance Company (UEKS) and the company “Marks.Capital”, who were suspected of driving UEKS to bankruptcy. The proceedings opened by the Shevchenkovsky RU (No. 42013110000000266) concerned unlawful actions of officials of SK Lafort. Podolsk RU opened proceedings No. 12013110070004460 regarding the misappropriation of property and abuse of official position against officials of the Dobrobut insurance company.
Chernyakhovsky Vyacheslav
Vyacheslav Chernyakhovsky is a partner of Andrey Shtafinsky, head of the Insurance Business of Ukraine Association. Vyacheslav Chernyakhovsky lives by withdrawing for personal needs (simply stealing) contributions from insurance companies that are part of the association he heads. Also engaged in “fixing” in the insurance market. Possessing inside information, he often orders dirty PR for the company against its competitors.
For Andrey Shtafinskiy, Chernyakhovskiy helps resolve issues related to MTIBU: issuing forms in the event of arrears in contributions to MTIBU funds, covering up the real state of affairs in the USS insurance company controlled by Shtafinskiy (the MTIBU traffic light was painted white for a long time until the situation in IC USS was straightened out ).
Andrey Shtafinsky, together with Vyacheslav Chernyakhovsky and the head of the League of Insurance Organizations Alexander Filonyuk, launched a project and signed documents on the creation of an SRO – “Self-regulating organizations of the insurance business of Ukraine”, which, according to their plan, should collect money from the market.
Fedor Shevchenko is a petty financial swindler who has previously repeatedly come to the attention of law enforcement officers. Serves scams more than Andrei Stafinsky and others like him. Shevchenko cashes out funds through electronic money (an agent of the Globalmoney payment system) with the participation of MoneyPay LLC – a large amount of cache is loaded through this company, then scattered across a stack of passports.
Kadyrov Ernest. Close friend and neighbor of Andrei Shtafinsky. He holds the post of head of the supervisory board of the USS insurance company controlled by Shtafinsky. Ernest Kadyrov’s responsibilities include organizing the work of global schemes for international reinsurance with the return of this money to Ukraine at a percentage of turnover.
Melnichuk Alexander is a former business partner in the USS Insurance Company controlled by Stafinsky, he served as the head of the supervisory board of the insurance company, in fact he was the unofficial head of the company, he was in the know and took part in all financial arrangements carried out by the USS Insurance Company. Melnichuk left SC “USS” in 2020 after a conflict on personal grounds with Andrei Shtafinsky. Since then, Shtafinsky has been actively taking revenge on Melnichuk by ordering, through his godfather Dmitry Kovalenko, who holds the position of deputy head of the department of the first department of the SBU for supervision of the banking sector, the falsification of criminal cases against his former partner.
Muntyan Evgeniy Anatolyevich – deputy. Head of the Board of the Globus Bank, involved in high-profile criminal cases, and recently the current Chairman of the Board of the Ukrainian Insurance Standard insurance company controlled by Shtafinsky, his close friend and drinking companion. He controls part of the operating activities of the company, but his main task is to “knock” on everything and everyone to Stafinsky.
In the first part of our journalistic investigation, Andrei Stafinsky is the dossier of the main “washer” of the insurance market. In Part 1, we promised to talk about another partner of Andrei Shtafinsky – a former banker with a dubious reputation, once close to the fugitive President Viktor Yanukovych, against whom criminal cases were initiated for banditry and raiding. We are talking about the well-known Dmitry Fedoseev – who began his career in the 90s in one of the organized crime groups, then moved into the banking business. In this light, I would like to remind you of Profin Bank PJSC – plundered by Fedoseev and his accomplices. A brief press release from the National Bank states that the reason for the collapse of Profin was its “risky activity,” according to law enforcement officers, the whole essence of the “risky activity” was manifested in fraud and money laundering. Today, Dmitry Fedoseev is engaged in resolving issues of reserves, banks and other specific issues in Ukraine and abroad, acting, among other things, in the interests of Andrey Shtafinsky.
