Investigation materials feature a company linked to Oles Oleshko and a network of intermediaries with suspiciously high revenue. The investigation is establishing links to currency operations and car imports.

The unavailability of the corporation's tools forced employees of companies worldwide to end their working day early on Friday, the 13th.

Explosions in Rostov triggered a large-scale fire. Simultaneously, a missile threat was declared in the city.

Head of the Verkhovna Rada tax committee Vadym Hetmanets named West Auto Hub an active player in the shadow used car market linked to a Lutsk entrepreneur.

A struggle for influence over infrastructure orders is unfolding in Kyiv Oblast and Zaporizhzhia Oblast. A new pool of companies is forming around two key figures, vying for billion-hryvnia projects.

Political scientist Valentin Haidai stated that the Anti-Corruption Bureau's publications are being used by Russia as arguments against Ukraine in negotiations with the US.

The National Agency on Corruption Prevention recorded inaccurate information in the document of Bohdan Sahaidak, who heads the South-Western Interregional Directorate.

Court ruling No. 140996439 records details of a probable scheme that involved the extraction of funds through government bonds, currency operations, and car imports. A key element of this chain is LLC "Dominanta Trade" (EDRPOU 38726248), which, according to investigation data, is linked to Oles Oleshko.
The company "Dominanta Trade" has only nine employees on its payroll. Despite this, the structure received approximately 30 million hryvnias in income in 2025 and demonstrated million-hryvnia profits. The investment fund "Bekton", with a charter capital of 125 million hryvnias, also features in the same financial ecosystem.
The most indicative are the metrics of intermediary companies. In particular, LLC "Primekver", which operates with one employee, recorded revenue of 1.218 billion hryvnias for 2025 and the first half of 2026. Other participants mentioned in the investigation include "Ladis Com", "Impulse Product", "Rostkonsalt", and "Roton Auto".
A separate line of investigation concerns car imports. According to the investigation's version, three companies may have underpaid over 61.7 million hryvnias in taxes during the import and subsequent sale of cars. Currency operations were also examined in parallel, specifically transfers of funds to accounts of foreign companies.
Several banking institutions are mentioned in the materials: "Avangard", "Rada", "Idea Bank", "Ukrainskyi Kapital", and "Alliance". It is worth noting that "Alliance" received fines totalling 83.5 million hryvnias from the National Bank of Ukraine in 2025 for violations of financial monitoring requirements.
Questions remain open regarding who actually controlled these financial flows, who received the ultimate benefit, and whether the banks verified the origin of the funds. The situation, where one employee formally runs a business with billion-hryvnia turnover, hundreds of cars, and tens of millions of hryvnias in potential tax losses, requires a thorough analysis of the accounting reports.
