State Bureau of Investigation put forward suspicion to the beneficiaries of the Pin-UP game service company. They are suspected of transferring funds and property to Russia.
The investigation established the facts of the cooperation of company representatives with the aggressor state. The links of the online casino with Russian capital, sanctioned entities in Ukraine and representatives of the Russian Federation have been documented. In addition, business activities were carried out under the cover of persons in the field of view of the Bureau.
It was also found out that persons associated with casino activities work on the territory of the so-called “LPR”, contributing to the financial filling of the budget of Russia. These funds are used to support the security forces, the defense complex of the Russian Federation and finance armed aggression against Ukraine.
According to the results of the investigation, SBI investigators gathered enough evidence to present suspicions of facilitating criminal actions in favor of Russia, including the transfer of financial and material resources to the aggressor country. If found guilty, the suspects face up to 12 years in prison.
Several criminal cases are under investigation regarding the activities of Pin-UP online casino. In one of them, 2.6 billion hryvnias belonging to the company were seized. However, in October of this year, the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv decided to remove the seizure from these funds.
