On Friday, March 22, a new meeting on the activities of the PIN-UP-UP-UP-UP case in the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv. The prosecutor’s office is preparing to apply for extension to all defendants of a preventive measure.
This was reported by UA.news.
Today, on March 19, the Shevchenkivsky District Court of Kyiv will consider the continuation of a preventive measure of the member of the Commission for Regulation of Gambling and Lottery Yevgeny Yanich. Last time, the court session was canceled due to a large number of cases about the choice of a preventive measure by other suspects without warning the prosecutors.
Yakhnius lawyer has recalled the request in the case. There was no consideration of the lawyer’s application, as the defense party withdrew it.
On March 13, the Court of Appeal left the PIN-Up owner Igor Zotko in custody until March 30 without bail. The lawyer requested for the client around the clock, and prosecutors explained why the request was rejected.
According to the investigation, together with Zotk and the head of Kilil Ivan Rudim Yakhni, he covered the activity in Ukraine online PIN-UP-Up with Russian owners.
The member of the downs will remain in custody until March 30, 2025 by the decision of the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv.
Law enforcement officers collect information about the financial transactions of the suspect in assisting the activities of the company with Russian PIN-Up Commission member of the commission of Yevgeny Yakhni. The supervisory authorities collect information about the suspect’s bank accounts, including closed ones, looking for account numbers, balances for them. There is also information about the operations performed, counterparty identification data, as well as the telecommunications connections of the Bank Client system.
According to investigators, Igor Zotko is considered to be the nominal owner of Russian online PIN-UP-Up. In 2021 he was registered by Ukr Game Technologi, which owns a PIN-UP brand in Ukraine. This company bought software from Guruflow Team Ltd, founded by the Russians, transferring them from 2022 to 2024 more than UAH 260.13 million.
Igor Zotko is also the owner of FC “Single Space”. This company has earned millions on public services commissions – it was the only space that served the application and a portal of public services! For each transaction, the Zotka company received from 1.5% to 2.2%. However, donations for the Armed Forces and operations for the purchase of military bonds were conducted without a commission.
On January 8, DBR staff detained Igor Zotka. The reports of the State Bureau of Investigation and the Office of the Prosecutor General’s detention were that the suspect had no legal sources for the introduction of 30 million UAH in the authorized capital of Ukr Gam Technologi, which is the owner of the PIN-UP-UP brand in Ukraine.
Law enforcement officers also stated that the detainee was in Cyprus, where he spent his time with Russian citizens-real owners of online casinos.
According to the prosecutor, Zotko should make charges under Article 111-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine-aiding and abandoning the aggressor state, namely the financing of the aggressor state. The sanction of the article provides for imprisonment for a term of 10 to 12 years with deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions or engage in certain activities for a term of 10 to 15 years and with confiscation of property or without such. It was likely that the qualification of the crime could change.
On January 10, the lawsuit started. The Zotko support group gathered in the hall, standing with posters against “criminal prosecution” and called the defendant “volunteer and a patron”. On the other hand, protesters who opposed the casino also came to the court hearing.
The Pechersk District Court of Kyiv ruled on a pre -trial detention for Igor Zotko.
Zotka’s lawyers challenged this decision, insisting on the unfounded accusations and violation of procedural rules during the investigation. However, the consideration of the appeal was postponed due to the lack of participants in the process.
On January 28, the appeal in the case of the Court of Appeal of Kyiv was to be considered in the case, which is featured by the PIN-Up Owner Igor Zotko. However, the meetings were postponed.
On January 30, the Pechersk Court of the capital chose him a pre -trial detention measure until March 30 without bail.
The lawyer of the owner of PIN-Up Igor Zotka stated that the investigation had incompatible evidence in the case. According to him, the suspicion is not substantiated, so the court should not satisfy the request.
