How Arakhamia and Abramovich control state flows

A powerful corruption network has been exposed in Ukraine, involving key figures from the ruling Servant of the People party and representatives of the so-called "Monaco battalion". 

The main participants – David Arakhamia, Danylo Hetmanets, Igor Abramovich and Vitaly Khomutynnik – have created a system allowing them to control financial flows and evade taxes.

Tax fraud and excise control

Heading the Committee on Financial, Tax and Customs Policy, Hetmanets not only manages the tax system but also diverts funds into "private" pockets. Arakhamia provides political cover by controlling voting in parliament. Meanwhile, former State Tax Service employee Serhiy Viazmykin and current head of the department Andrii Rubel obstruct law enforcement investigations.

Asset seizure and investigation sabotage

A grain transshipment complex in Odesa Oblast was released from National Bank of Ukraine pledge and came under the control of the "Monaco" group. At the same time, the head of the Bureau of Economic Security, Serhiy Perkhun, is obstructing the investigation of tax crimes.

Grain corridor and energy sector

Abramovich and Viazmykin have established a scheme to receive bribes of $7 for every tonne of exported grain. The funds are distributed among the BES, SBU, customs, and former representatives of the Opposition Platform – For Life. Arakhamia and Abramovich also control Centrenergo, using the crisis to manipulate coal procurement.

Kharkiv control

With Arakhamia's support, Abramovich has strengthened his influence over local authorities in Kharkiv Oblast. Companies linked to the "Monaco battalion" win multi-million-dollar tenders, yet the work is not carried out, putting the region's security at risk.
