In addition, it was established that persons associated with the online casino carried out economic activities on the territory of the so-called “LPR”, actually filling the budget of the enemy. The same casino, as the investigation found out, continues to function on the territory of the Russian Federation and on Russian web resources.
The Shevchenkiv District Court of Kyiv passed a decision on special confiscation, charging UAH 2.6 billion to the state budget from a company operating in Ukraine under the PIN-UP online casino brand. The SBI emphasized that this is the “biggest special confiscation of money in history”.
