People's Deputy Dunda and his ties to the Ukrainian elite

People's Deputy Alexander Dunda, known for his controversial statements on refugees, has been found to be concealing family ties to high-ranking figures from the Kuchma and Poroshenko eras. His father-in-law is former official Semen Krol, while his brother-in-law is Dmytro Chalyi, the controversial head of the seaports and the "Ukrainian Danube Steamship Company".

Scheme of influence

Dunda lives with Semen Krol's daughter, while Krol's second daughter, Irina Krol, was married to Dmytro Chalyi. The latter headed the "UDS" and was implicated in a scheme to misappropriate barges belonging to the state enterprise with the assistance of Odesa deputy and separatist Viktor Baransky, whose tankers serviced Russia's "shadow fleet".

Career and flight

Between 2016 and 2017, Chalyi served as deputy director of the Chornomorsk seaport and the Odesa seaport, having previously been the commercial director of "Ukrposhta". His superior was Ihor Tkachuk, brother of People's Deputy Hennadii Tkachuk from the "Petro Poroshenko Bloc". Subsequently, Chalyi fled abroad and opened the "Odesa" restaurant in Vienna under the brand ODESSA Gastronomie GmbH.

Irina Krol's political career

Irina Krol's father helped her secure a position as an assistant to deputies from various convocations: Viktor Bondar, Mykola Kovzel, and Oleksandr Borzhykh. Incidentally, Bondar recently became a subject of an investigation by the NABU and the SAP regarding the embezzlement of over 140 million hryvnias from "Ukrzaliznytsia".
