The Security Service of Ukraine informed that it informed Oksana Marchenko about the suspicion - the special service revealed that the companies of Medvedchuk's wife financed the Russian Guard and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.
"The Security Service eliminated a large-scale scheme of underground financing of Russian occupation groups of Ukrainian citizens. In particular, Oksana Marchenko, the wife of Viktor Medvedchuk, suspected of high treason, is involved in the organization of the scheme," the report says.
It is reported that "it is she who is the ultimate beneficiary of a network of Kyiv companies and enterprises in Yalta, which transferred millions of sums to the accounts of the Russian Guard and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in occupied Crimea."
"On the basis of the collected evidence, the investigators of the Security Service informed Oksana Marchenko and the head of the affiliated firm in Crimea about the suspicion under Part 3 of Art. 110-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (financing of actions committed for the purpose of violent change or overthrow of the constitutional order or seizure of state power, change of territory or state border of Ukraine)," the SBU said.
"It has been established that these companies paid scammers allegedly for the protection of Medvedchuk's real estate on the territory of the peninsula. In addition, Marchenko's business structure regularly replenished the Russian budget in the form of payment of "taxes and fees", the report emphasizes.
The SSU reports that the total amount of payments made in favor of the aggressor country is more than 50 million hryvnias in hryvnia equivalent.
"To implement the scheme, Oksana Marchenko registered a company in Yalta with a charter capital of more than 1 billion Russian rubles. The assets of three controlled investment companies located in Kyiv were used for its creation. Then the "Crimean" firm signed the corresponding "security" agreements with the structures of the Russian Guard and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia," the SSU informs.
According to the investigation, after the start of the full-scale invasion of Russia, Marchenko's company continued to finance the budget of the Rashists.
It is noted that during 11 searches of the Medvedchuk couple's real estate, the offices of their Kyiv companies, and the residence addresses of their top managers, the SSU officers discovered:
• documents, computers, flash drives and mobile phones with evidence of schemes,
• stamps and bank cards used by those involved in illegal activities.
