Sviatash's wife ran a business in Moscow with Peskov's daughter

The Corruption Counteraction Centre (CAC) released information stating that the wife of former Verkhovna Rada deputy Dmytro Sviatash had commercial interests in Moscow. Her co-owner in the capital's company was the daughter of Vladimir Putin's press secretary, Dmytro Peskov.

Details of commercial ties

According to the anti-corruption centre, Angelika Sviatash was a co-owner of the Moscow-based entity "Set' stolichnykh bistro" for nearly a year. The other participant in the business was Elizaveta Peskova.

In addition, since August 2024, Dmytro Sviatash himself has held a stake in a company engaged in the mining of non-ferrous metal ores. Among the co-owners of this entity is a man wanted by the Security Service of Ukraine.

Status of the former MP and his documents

Dmytro Sviatash was detained by the Swedish police in Stockholm. In Ukraine, a court sentenced him to 12 years in prison for justifying Russian aggression and fraud. Furthermore, he is suspected of committing treason.

Journalists established that Sviatash has held a Russian passport since 2020. He used this document in 2023–2024 for trips to Kyrgyzstan and to the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
