Capital.ua reports that 4bill’s Sales Department chief Dmytro Rukin and his partners Nazar Yanko and Serhiy Hanin are being investigated for allegedly embezzling a large amount of the firm’s finances.
At the end of last week, the Main Investigation Department of the National Police opened a criminal case under Part 3, 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code (fraud committed by illegal operations using electronic computing equipment and on a large scale or by an organized group). According to a source in the leadership of 4bill, the case was opened following an internal audit of the company, which revealed numerous violations by employees.
«Systematic and flagrantly audacious actions against the company by Rukin were found. He, along with accomplices Nazar Yanko and Serhiy Hanin, were caught red-handed. Essentially, it involves the embezzlement of the company’s working capital, in some cases colluding with merchant managers. Mass cases of manipulating with overpricing or underpricing for merchants and receiving kickbacks for themselves to the detriment of the company’s and clients’ interests have also been uncovered. The stolen funds were withdrawn to their cards and the cards of their closest relatives. They worked as a group, which included Rukin’s «junior partners» Yanko and Hanin, in a coordinated and bold manner, but not for long, as internal security quickly identified and neutralized them,» the source reports.
According to the interlocutor, the perpetrators effectively staged a raider takeover of the regional branch of 4bill, misleading local employees of the Spanish office (who, knowing the truth, would never agree to participate in the crime – risking their own reputation in the market), and they are now trying to operate under the brand LaFinteca, having established several companies in different countries.
«They managed to open four companies in their names, where criminal funds were transferred – Victo Postanova Sociedad Limitada in Spain, Softintegra Holding Limitada and La Finteca Instituicao de Pagamento LTDA in Brazil, Pagos Nacionales S.A.C – in Argentina. I suppose that in the near future, the law enforcement agencies of these countries will receive the appropriate request regarding money laundering and the illegal activities of companies opened by the fraudsters. We have already warned our partners about the risks of cooperating with criminals,» the representative of 4bill states. The incident will not affect the company’s operations in any way.
«It must be understood that this is a human factor that can arise in any business. Therefore, safeguards are important, allowing such cases to be quickly identified and neutralized. Rukin, Yanko, and Hanin accumulated many debts, but all this has already been promptly closed and resolved, the company operates in a usual mode,» the interlocutor reported.
He noted that the company expects that in the near future, the investigation will apply all measures provided by law against the former employees.
«Their career in the financial sector is over, and they will soon be officially accused. As far as I know, they are currently trying to hide from justice in other countries,» concludes the interlocutor.
