Andrey Shtafinsky
Andrey Shtafinsky is known in a narrow circle of insurers and law enforcement officers as one of the main schemers of the Ukrainian insurance market. Andrei Shtafinsky has dozens of open criminal cases and millions of “laundered” funds, which he does not forget to regularly share with the “right people”, while remaining at large. But first things first.
Andrey Mikhailovich Shtafinsky was born on January 28, 1975. Married for the second time. He is connected with his second wife, Ivashchenko Anastasia Sergeevna, not only by two common children, but also by the fact that Anastasia is a beneficiary and acts on his behalf in most of the enterprises he owns, although she does not conduct any activities herself. Anastasia’s brother, Dmitry Sergeevich Ivashchenko, is also present in almost all financial scams of Andrei Shtafinsky – Dmitry’s task in this “family contract” is to prepare financial transactions, develop the necessary documentation, resolve issues with banks, register an LLC for these operations, search for “dummy directors” ” and the like.
It is worth noting that Shtafinsky began a lawsuit against Yarmolenko’s first wife, Irina Vasilievna, who lives with her child in Sumy, in order to seize the apartment in which she and her child live. From sources close to Shtafinsky’s entourage it is known that Irina Yarmolenko knew too much about the activities of her ex-husband and was even going to testify to law enforcement agencies.
The entire activity of Andrei Shtafinsky in the insurance market of Ukraine is the construction of schemes for laundering funds, supporting tax evasion schemes, as well as withdrawing funds from the accounts of insurance companies controlled by him. In this field, Andrei Shtafinsky felt unpunished until 2018, when criminal proceedings No. 42018100000000850 dated September 13, 2018 were opened on the fact of complicity in tax evasion on an especially large scale with the participation of ST Dominanta LLC. The main defendants in the case at that time were Andrei Stafinsky and his partner, the former chairman of the board of Concord Bank, Kirill Nefedov. The case is not closed, the investigation is still ongoing. It is worth noting that already in 2019, the paths of Shtafinsky and Nefedov diverged, after the latter became the owner of the International Insurance Company Insurance Company – the envious and vindictive Shtafinsky could not survive the success of his former partner, as a result he began to “revenge”, involving his influential friends .
Stafinsky’s difficult and quarrelsome character, envy and constant desire to “dump his business partner” more than once played a cruel joke in the fate of Andrei Mikhailovich. This happened with another former partner, and now acting. Director of the State Bureau of Investigation Sukhachev Alexey Aleksandrovich. According to our sources in law enforcement agencies, at the instigation of Alexey Sukhachev, a certain amount of activities are now being carried out by the DFS on enterprises associated with Shtafinsky. The reason for the conflict between Sukhachev and Shtafinsky was the latter’s accusations against Sukhachev that he, working in law enforcement agencies (at that time Aleksey Sukhachev held the position of deputy head of the Department of the General Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine) did not warn him about the opening of criminal proceedings, and also did not want to “solve ” this question with colleagues.
There are many other examples of how Andrei Shtafinsky knows how to “dump” friends and partners. Indicative in this regard is the situation that developed with the talented Ukrainian IT developer Yuri Shostka, owner of the IT company FTL. After meeting Yuri, Shtafinsky proposed creating a joint project on online insurance. Yuri Shostka has been developing a mobile application for a long time and invested his own funds. At the invitation of Stafinsky, Yuri moved his own servers to the office of the insurance company owned by Stafinsky. These servers were located on the company premises for about 5 months. When Yuri Shostka finished the product and was no longer needed, Shtafinsky ordered access to the office to be restricted and did not return the server to Shostka. But the insurance company’s software is now running on these servers. Yuri came to him several times, called him, but achieved nothing. And this is not surprising, because all of Stafinsky’s “dirty deeds” are covered by his godfather, Dmitry Kovalenko, who is the deputy head of the department of the first department of the SBU for supervision of the banking sector.
There are two more partners in Andrei Stafinsky’s “insurance business.” The first is a former banker with a dubious reputation, once close to the fugitive president Viktor Yanukovych. Criminal cases were brought against him for banditry and raiding. The second is a former high-ranking official, close to the current government and patronizing the “scheme business” of his partner. We will talk about them in the following publications.
Today, Andrei Shtafinsky conducts most of his financial transactions through the Insurance Company “Ukrainian Insurance Standard”, which he controls, which he acquired in 2020, registering it in the name of his wife Anastasia Ivashchenko. Large amounts of funds are passed through this company with the participation of the all-Ukrainian chain of pharmacies “Low Price Pharmacy”. Money is transferred to the company under the guise of “insurance of goods in circulation,” then transferred to the insurance broker “Indigo,” whose owner is Shtafinsky, and then converted into cash. The scheme with the participation of the “Low Price Pharmacy” has been working perfectly for a year now, which allows Andrei Shtafinsky to live in grand style.
We ask that this journalistic investigation be considered an official request to the State Bureau of Investigation, the Prosecutor General’s Office, the Economic Bureau of Investigation in order to verify the facts of illegal withdrawal of funds from the Insurance Company “Ukrainian Insurance Standard” and the all-Ukrainian chain of pharmacies “Low Price Pharmacy”.
