Romanian authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances under which Serhiy Tokarev, owner of the online casino Cosmolot, acquired citizenship of the country. According to sources, officials are examining whether the documents he submitted contain inaccurate or incomplete information.
Recently, Romania has tightened controls over citizenship procedures. The timeline of events in Tokarev's case raises questions. In February 2022, Ukrainian registration data for the limited liability company "RUUSH" listed him as a citizen of the Russian Federation. However, by 11 October 2022, the British register Companies House indicated his status as a Romanian national. This indicates that he obtained a Romanian passport no later than this date.
Previously, Tokarev was repeatedly mentioned in connection with the "Joker" casino and the online casino network, as well as the activities of Yevhen Kozytskyi and Oleksiy Savin. The company Cosmolot had previously been included in sanctions lists. Although dual citizenship is not prohibited in Romania, the circumstances of passport acquisition for individuals with similar backgrounds are increasingly becoming a subject of close scrutiny.
