Does Boyko have a common business with Novinsky?
Yuriy Boyko, a people’s deputy from the banned HSE, can own several energy enterprises in Ukraine through offshore, this is discussed in the BihusInfo investigation, reports Ukrrudprom.
Investigators note that although the people’s deputy has no official business assets, and only the Kiev company Stolichnaya Real Estate is registered to his wife, the Boyko family built large houses in Ivankovichi, Gnedin and on the dam of the Kiev reservoir near Kiev, and the politician’s wife in 2020 bought more than 50 hectares of land in the Kiev region. Also, Yuriy Boyko travels with an escort car and uses security services, which he also did not officially declare. In a commentary to reporters, he called his escort car “outdoor”.
Journalists, referring to the data of Cypriot auditors, suggest that Boyko may be associated with the Cypriot company San Posidanius Investments Limited. It owns a number of energy assets in Ukraine, which were previously unofficially associated with Boyko, in particular, 75% of the shares of Volynyoblenergo, 100% of Kharkiv CHPP-5, 100% of KZR Petroleum (gas fields in Ukraine), 50% of Azov Petroleum Lls (gas fields in Ukraine, partner – Vadim Novinsky) and so on. In 2020, Boyko’s son Anatoly officially became the ultimate beneficiary of 75% of Volynoblenergo.
Yury Boyko’s wife, at least until 2018, received a salary in rubles from the business of Russian Miron Gorilovsky, the largest producer of polymer pipes in the aggressor country, which, among other things, received contracts for projects in Crimea, Bihus.Info reports. Vera Boyko also officially owns an apartment in the center of Moscow.
10 days before the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Gorilovsky’s share in the Ukrainian plant was transferred to the head of the trading house Evrotrubplast, Igor Strelts, who worked in NAK Naftogaz under the leadership of Yuriy Boyko in 2004, the investigation said. Sagittarius himself told reporters that he only crossed paths with Boyko to work at Naftogaz, and the people’s deputy said that he allegedly did not know Sagittarius.
On February 7, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced that the government would reconsider the issue of stripping Yuriy Boyko of the title of Hero of Ukraine, which he received from President Leonid Kuchma in 2004.
