According to the materials of the State Bureau of Investigation, the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv applied special confiscation, deducting UAH 2.6 billion from the state’s revenue from a company that operated in Ukraine under the PIN-UP online casino brand.

The court also approved an agreement between the prosecutor and the defendant, the director of the PIN-UP online casino, the State Bureau of Investigation reports .

The director of the PIN-UP online casino was sentenced to 5 years, with a three-year suspended sentence, for conducting business activities in cooperation with an aggressor state, participation in a criminal organization; intentional tax evasion in particularly large amounts; legalization of property obtained by criminal means, and official forgery.

We would like to remind you that as part of the investigation into the activities of this online casino, employees of the Bureau and prosecutors of the Prosecutor General’s Office, in cooperation, revealed facts of aiding and abetting the aggressor state by representatives of this company.

In particular, the online casino’s ties with representatives of the Russian Federation and entities subject to sanctions in Ukraine were documented, and financial flows were established in the interests of filling the aggressor’s budget and supporting activities related to armed aggression against Ukraine.

SBI employees conducted a set of procedural measures, including technical ones, with the involvement of relevant experts, who confirmed the negative consequences for the combat capability of the Defense Forces of Ukraine due to the use of the services of this online casino.

The investigation also established that individuals associated with online casino activities conduct their business activities in the territory of the so-called “LPR”, thus filling the enemy’s budget.

In addition, the person who directly controls the activities of the online casino, after the start of the full-scale invasion, financed veterans of the so-called “svo”.

The online casino itself, as the Bureau found out during the pre-trial investigation, continues its activities in Russia and on Russian web resources.
