According to the report, the detention was carried out as part of an investigation in criminal proceedings on the fact of the illegal operation of an online casino on the territory of Ukraine, the actual owners of which are citizens of Russia.
“According to the investigation, the detainee, in accordance with his duties, was supposed to ensure state regulation of activities in the field of organizing and conducting gambling games and lotteries. In particular, do not allow persons associated with the aggressor state to participate in their activities. However, due to his actions, representatives of the commercial structure associated with the Russian Federation received a license to organize gambling games on the Internet and contributed to the aggressor state,” the OGP reported.
“Subsequently, the detainee, having received information from a number of state bodies about the commercial structure’s ties with the aggressor state, deliberately did not take measures to revoke the relevant license, ensuring the continuation of the online casino,” added the prosecutor’s office.
According to the Office of the Prosecutor General, law enforcement officers searched the residences, offices, and cars of the head of KRAIL, seized flash drives, drafts and other documents, laptops, phones, narcotics, and cash.
“The issue of notifying him of the suspicion of aiding the aggressor state and illegal storage of narcotics in large quantities without the purpose of sale is being resolved…, as well as the selection of a precautionary measure,” the message reads.
The State Bureau of Investigation noted that during the searches, the head of KRAIL was found and seized a narcotic drug – “cocaine in large quantities.”
The OGP reminded that earlier prosecutors informed five persons – the organizers of the online casino, whose owners are citizens of the Russian Federation, of suspicion of aiding the aggressor state. More than 2.6 billion hryvnias were seized and handed over to the ARMA administration in the accounts of companies involved in the organization of online casino activities.
