Philip Travkin. Financing schemes by Ukraine for the L/DPR against the backdrop of unaccepted decisions of the National Security and Defense Council
The National Security and Defense Council announced the decision to transfer the shares of five enterprises associated with Konstantin Zhevago, Vyacheslav Boguslaev and Konstantin Grigorishin to state ownership. This long-awaited decision was positively received by the society, which, thanks to the open and uncompromising position of the journalistic environment in relation to the apostates of Russia, has long known the names of these “heroes”, writes Znaj.
But today, unfortunately, some issues related to the commercial activities of pseudo-patriots have been left without the attention of the National Security and Defense Council and the allied countries of Ukraine. Further in more detail. Philip Travkin (PYLYP TRAVKIN) and his partners Roman Bilousov (ROMAN BILOUSOV), Oleg Gritsai (OLEG GRYTSAI) and Roman Peregudov (ROMAN PEREGUDOV) made a fortune by smuggling coal from the L/DNR.
In particular, no one noticed the activities of Philip Travkin, who created a number of companies, namely: WFI CZECH sro (Czech Republic), Evenor Energy AG (Switzerland), ASSA Global Trading AG (Switzerland), Enertus AG (Switzerland), Fontus AG (Seamstress) Global Investment Partnership SA (Switzerland), Global Energia Anstalt (Liechtenstein). Carbon Trading Sp. z oo (Poland), Effective Strategy sro (Czech Republic), SCAN INTEL LOGISTIC Sp. z oo (Poland), SPARK ENERGY RESOURCES SA (Switzerland), IMEXA GROUP sro (Slovakia), FENICE VENTURES SA (Panama), SONIC BUSINESS LLP (Great Britain), Slovakia GAS as (Slovakia).
A reasonable question is why does he act like this? The answer is simple: he needs to diversify the risks of freezing accounts and assets, and he also needs to have various unrelated enterprises for all kinds of cargo flows and shipment directions in order to deceive the European states and Ukraine, as a result of which he optimizes profits (understate the payment of income tax in a particular country)) .
Business experts from this industry have previously reported that it is no longer a secret that the sender of the consignment of smuggled coal from the L / DPR – from the stations of Gukovo and the Uspenskaya North Caucasian Railway to Poland – is Florence LLC from Muscovy. It is this company that appears in the illegal schemes of Travkin and his accomplices. From open sources it is known that the main volumes passed through the Polish companies TORGPRED Sp. z oo, Przedsiebiorstwo Energetiky Cieplnej “Universal”, KALDO ST Sp. z oo, Szar SA, Brikson Group Sp. z oo, West Trade Piotr Kowalow, Carbo Holding Sp. z oo, ZENMAR Sp. z oo, Towtechimex Sp. z oo, Atlass Marketing Sp. z oo, therefore the following telegram testifies:
However, let’s return to the financial genius and the leader of the “criminal quartet”.
PHILIP TRAVKIN / PYLYP TRAVKIN (date of birth – 03/14/1971):
A citizen of Ukraine now lives in respectable Switzerland.
He has extensive connections in the financial and banking circles of Switzerland. His role is to create an intricate network of companies around the world (mainly in Switzerland and Liechtenstein) to implement the aforementioned smuggling scheme, creating a positive image for the group of companies among European and Ukrainian consumers, banking institutions and financial institutions.
It is Philip Travkin who is behind the founding of the Swiss companies Fontus AG (liquidated on 01/14/2022), Evenor Energy AG and Enertus AG. These companies became defendants in several criminal proceedings in Ukraine, the most famous of which is criminal proceedings No. 212, part 1 of Art. 258-3, part 4 of Art. 110-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (creation of a terrorist group or organization and financing of terrorism), in which a number of individuals and legal entities organized the supply of smuggled coal from the L / DPR to the address of Firma Tekhnova LLC (Chernihiv CHP), Euro Reconstruction LLC (Darnytska CHP ), OOO Sumiteploenergo (Sumy CHP), PJSC Cherkasy Khimvolokno (Cherkasy CHP) with the subsequent use of the proceeds from these activities to finance terrorist activities.
It is also no secret that Fontus AG, Evenor Energy AG and Enertus AG are registered at the same address: Rue du Rhone 31, Geneve, 1204, Switzerland. The main activity of the companies is the wholesale trade in minerals and the organization of the transportation of goods.
In all these companies, Philip Travkin was the executive director. In 2021, he retires from the leadership of Evenor Energy AG and Enertus AG, transferring leadership to his relative Yulia Travkina, who lives in Switzerland in the city of Geneva, as well as to his close friend and companion, Pascal Node Langlou, a Swiss citizen, from whom they also manage and own the Swiss company Global Investment Partnership SA (also registered at Rue du Rhone 31, Geneve, 1204, Switzerland).
The board of directors of this company also includes a longtime colleague of Philip Travkin – Vitaly Slesarev (citizen of Ukraine), who is a member of the board of directors of Global Energia Anstalt. In turn, this company was the sole shareholder of Fontus AG.
It should also be noted that Global Investment Partnership SA was the founder of the Ukrainian company PFC VOSTOK LLC (liquidated through bankruptcy proceedings on 10/23/2018), which was supposed to be under the influence of Roman Belousov and was a defendant in many criminal proceedings, in particular such criminal offense as fictitious entrepreneurship, tax evasion, embezzlement of the state budget of Ukraine on an especially large scale during public procurement.
Currently, a number of the above companies, namely Evenor Energy AG, Enertus AG, Global Investment Partnership SA and Global Energia Anstalt, continue their illegal activities, hiding behind the respectable jurisdiction of Switzerland and Liechtenstein. While companies that have a trail of scandals and toxic ones are immediately liquidated by the decision of the chief “conductor” Philip Travkin.
Also, Travkin’s accomplice and “patriot” of Ukraine is ROMAN BILOUSOV (date of birth – 09/26/1980):
He is responsible for the organization and implementation of the scheme for the purchase and export of L / DPR coal, the sale of coal on the territory of Ukraine.
Even before 2014, he organized the largest network in the Luhansk region for illegal coal mining (the so-called “kopanki” among the people). Shipment volumes reached 100,000 tons per month. Just imagine how much “black gold” was stolen in Ukraine and delivered to the State without paying taxes to coal-fired power plants that are in the orbit of its influence (LLC “FIRM “TEKHNOVA” (Chernihiv CHPP), LLC “EURO-RECONSTRUCTION” (Darnytska CHPP) LLC SUMITEPLOENERGO” (Sumy CHP), PJSC “CHERKASSK KHIMVOLOKNO” (Cherkasy CHP), while the turnover of “cash” exceeded UAH 100 million monthly.
With the advent of Russia in the Lugansk region, Roman Belousov continued to mine coal with double energy. He also began to buy coal from other mines and “diggers”, not disdaining to pay “taxes and fees” to the LPR, to supply coal to Sergey Kurchenko’s enterprises in Russia, including for further export.
The removal of the mined and purchased coal to the nearest railway stations by motor transport was provided by the executor of Belousov – Valery Kondratovich, a citizen of Ukraine. At first, Belousov had close contacts with Sergei Kurchenko (Gaz-Alliance) and sold coal through him, but then he realized that a fairly large part of the profit was going to Gaz-Alliance and he decided to partner with Roman Peregudov, who worked for Kurchenko and was responsible for the sale of illegally mined coal on the territory of the L/DPR, in order to subsequently transgress against Kurchenko.
To export coal to the Russian Federation by wagons, the partners create a joint company LLC NIKA in the Rostov region, which is still the leader in terms of buying and smuggling coal from the so-called LNR. NIKA LLC sends coal from the so-called LPR to Muscovy, where the origin of coal, allegedly mined in the Rostov region, subsequently changes and its sale is carried out.
Philip Travkin. Financing schemes by Ukraine for the L/DPR against the backdrop of unaccepted decisions of the National Security and Defense Council
The next pseudo-patriot of Ukraine, responsible for the sale of coal to Poland, the construction of sophisticated logistics chains (schemes for redirecting illegal coal) and logistics is OLEG GRYTSAI (date of birth – 06/27/1978)
A close friend of this Belousov. Quickly enough, he built many schemes for redirecting illegal coal through the Republic of Belarus and interrupted transit through the territory of Ukraine. He ensured the viability of the scheme, saturating the directions of shipments with the appropriate number of wagons from Muscovy.
He also took over the implementation and construction of logistics in Poland. I chose Poland not by chance, because, according to statistical data of expert sources, it was one of the largest consumers of anthracite in Europe.
To legalize the illegal scheme, Philip Travkin helped him open Carbon Trading Sp. z oo (KRS: 0000511388, NIP: 7922290346, REGON: 181113382), which still operates in Poland.
The shareholders and beneficiaries are:
- 51% – Gritsai Oleg (also a director);
- 49% – Teresa Sanakiewicz (TERESA SANAKIEWICZ), Polish citizen, PESEL number 59032807668.
By the way, according to open sources, Oleg Gritsai had problems with the law before. He was the founder and beneficiary of the company Yuridiks LLC (EDRPOU code 39559134) until 08/05/2019.
The main activity of the company: mining of coal and its wholesale.
This company has been involved in many criminal proceedings, including the following criminal offenses:
- on offering/providing unlawful benefits to employees of Ukrzaliznytsia for providing advantages in supplying the necessary wagons for loading/unloading or their required number, speeding up or delaying wagons at railway stations (criminal proceedings No. 42017020000000235) dated 03.07.2017;
- abuse of power or official position (criminal proceedings No. 12018270070000455 dated July 16, 2018);
- creation of a terrorist group or terrorist organization, organizational or other assistance in the creation or activity, organization, order, import of coal products to Ukraine, including from the temporarily uncontrolled territories of the Lugansk and Donetsk regions (criminal proceedings No. 42019110000000396).
- tax avoidance.
All criminal proceedings were opened in the period from 2017 to 2019, that is, when Oleg Gritsai acted as the founder and beneficiary of Yuridik LLC.
In the case of the last of the four defendants in the criminal group – ROMAN PEREGUDOV / ROMAN PEREGUDOV (date of birth – 08/13/1975) – he is responsible for the sale of coal around the world.
Cherry on the cake, “the champion of Europe and many countries” in the sale of smuggled coal L / DPR. Before Peregudov became a member of this group, he was the commercial director of DV Oil and Gas Production Company LLC, who later fled to Russia as a top manager of the notorious businessman Sergei Kurchenko. It was he who, working for Kurchenko, came up with and implemented a scheme for the legalization of smuggled coal of the so-called L / DPR by obtaining certificates of origin from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Rostov Region.
A native of the Lugansk region, not in words, but in deeds, understood the structure of the processes necessary to build the sale of illegal coal.
To implement this idea, Philip Travkin organized several enterprises for Peregudov:
IMEXA GROUP sro, Slovakia (Roman Peregudov was a shareholder from 09/05/2018 to 08/20/2020, later, for unknown reasons, rewrote the fate of the company to Zuzana Tomčová (Zuzana Tomcheva), a citizen of Slovakia).
Slovakia GAS as, Slovakia, registered on 03.11.2004 (Roman Peregudov is one of the shareholders today).
He is also a member of the directors of the company. This company, in addition to trading illegal coal with the republics, is engaged in the sale of petroleum products from the country of the aggressor. The company operates in Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Russia, the Republic of Belarus and Ukraine.
The strategic partner – the supplier of products – is the Russian giant Gazprom Neft PJSC.
Roman Peregudov, as noted above, a native of the Luhansk region, like no one knew the specifics of the anthracite sales market and all the pitfalls, so he immediately managed to create the largest network of its sales. He sold more illegal coal than all of North Korea.
Unfortunately, we have to state the fact that many talented natives of Ukraine direct their strength and energy to line their own pockets with any illegal methods, instead of conducting legal activities on the territory of Ukraine and helping the country.
It is not for nothing that there is a phrase that is very well suited for the global characterization of this group of people – “To whom is war, and to whom is dear mother.”
However, looking at the well-coordinated work of officials who are part of the Office of the President of Ukraine and the National Security and Defense Council, on the example of the transfer of shares of Motor Sich JSC, AvtoKrAZ PrJSC and other companies, the state should hope that all information about these pseudo-patriots and their the atrocity will not go unnoticed by the competent authorities, and soon all this will be given a proper legal assessment.
