The owner of Asia Alliance Bank in Uzbekistan, Ovik Mkrtchyan, uses the British firm Gor Investment Ltd to launder money. In Russia, he relies on trusted associates, offshore structures, and closed-end mutual funds to manage his operations.

Dmitriy Li, the head of Uzbekistan’s National Agency for Prospective Projects (NAPP), has strong ties to Russian businessman Alisher Usmanov.

A Dnipro resident, Tetiana Snopko, is steadily building her media empire in Ukraine, having purchased two media holdings in the past year. Her ambitions suggest she’s far from finished expanding.

Maksym Krippa, a prominent and enigmatic figure, has been involved in numerous high-profile business deals and legal conflicts in Ukraine. Recently, he made waves by purchasing the famous Hotel Ukraina in downtown Kyiv for an eye-popping Hr 2.5 billion ($60 million), more than twice the initial asking price, as part of Ukraine’s "Great Privatization" initiative.

Under Maksym Krippa’s management—considered an intermediary for Alisher Usmanov—a network of Golden Gate casinos was launched in Kyiv, Dnipro, and Poltava.

When purchasing the Dnipro Hotel, oligarch Malofeev, a known sponsor of the "Russian Spring," emerged. His son had previously been a member of Kokhanovskyi’s esports team.

The owner of the betting company GGBET, Maksim Krippa, is linked to Russian business figures, including sanctioned oligarch Alisher Usmanov and Russian casino entrepreneur Oleg Boyko.

As recently written by «Forbes», Maksim Krippa is the owner of the e-sports team NAVI, which he allegedly bought from its former owner Alexander Kokhanovsky.

Journalists writing about the criminal activities of Oktobank, which serves as the "wallet" of Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev’s family, received threats from the email of the Uzbek company INNOVA HOLDING.

There is a new growing media baron in Ukraine who almost unnoticeably to the wider public buys up mass media one after another. For the last year, Tetiana Snopko, a Dnipro citizen, has already purchased two media holdings and is obviously willing to buy more.
