Court closes one of the cases against Alexander Slobozhenko

A Kyiv court has closed one of the cases involving Alexander Slobozhenko, founder of the company Traffic Devils Alexander Slobozhenko. This concerns an administrative case related to a traffic accident in which the young entrepreneur was involved in February of last year.

Porsche incident

As a reminder, last year, while driving a Porsche, Slobozhenko attempted to cross an intersection on a yellow light, resulting in a collision with a Mazda. Fortunately, no one was injured in the accident, apart from the vehicles. However, the administrative proceedings dragged on so long that the case was closed due to the expiration of the statute of limitations for issuing a fine.

Tax issues and potential new charges

Although this episode ended in Slobozhenko's favour, his name continues to feature in other, more serious investigations. The main one remains the case of alleged tax evasion amounting to 213 million hryvnia.

In addition, Slobozhenko is certainly set to face a new case under Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (treason). 

The grounds may be accusations of collaboration with the aggressor state and alleged provision of traffic for 1win — an online casino whose operations in Ukraine raise numerous questions.
