The Pechersk District Court of Kyiv has submitted a case on charges of Oleg Krot, co-owner of the Techiia IT holding, who was previously accused of fraud with cryptocurrency funds of the Brazilian citizen – the founder of the “pyramid” Carlos Jose De Souza Fuziyama.
It is known that the first case No. 12022000000001100 was opened by the Prosecutor General’s Office and the National Police in 2022. On June 28, 2023, Krotu was charged with suspicion. This case is in court. According to the investigation, during 2020-2021, the suspect, together with a colleague, organized and verified a scheme to illegally acquire $35 million in cryptocurrency belonging to the founder of Mining Express Fuziyama.
The investigation established that Krot offered Carlos Fuziama to invest the specified amount in the construction of a hotel complex with a casino on the banks of the Dnipro River in Kyiv and gradually implemented a criminal plan to illegally obtain these funds. By this time, Fuziyama had already cooperated with Krot regarding the creation of a data center for mining in Kropyvnytskyi. In 2018, LLC “Mining Express” was registered, the owner of which was LLC “Edelweiss Investment and Trading Company Limited”.
Krot promised the partner to complete the construction of the hotel and casino by the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022. For this, he was presented with a fictitious project plan. Then, from September 2020 to April 2021, Fuziyami transferred $35.34 million in virtual currency to him.
In order to create a false impression of the implementation of the agreed investment plan, during the visit of partners to Ukraine in November 2020 to check the intended use of the invested investments, a plot of land was found near the Patona Bridge, which had nothing to do with the hotel complex construction project, and it was arranged to place it on of billboards with the words FUZIYAMA ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX.
Next, the fraudsters acquired corporate rights in Slavutych LLC, which leases a plot of 5.29 hectares under the water area in Kyiv, through the company under their control, Techia Holding Limited, registered under the legislation of the Republic of Cyprus. However, Krot did not take any active actions aimed at obtaining construction permits, concluding subcontracts, obtaining licenses granting the right to organize and conduct gambling activities, etc.
As it turned out, the second criminal proceeding under No. 12024000000001040 dated May 31, 2014 was closed already on November 29. The motive was the lack of criminal proceedings. Already this January, through the court, the lawyers canceled this resolution of the investigator.
