The case of "Spetstechnoexport" in the HACC: how Barbul and accomplices withdrew hundreds of millions through Czech companies and British offshore companies

The HACC has finally begun hearing the case of top corrupt officials — familiar names.

• Barbul Pavlo 
• Belbas Vladyslav 
• Voronin Anton 
• Markelov Viktor
• Sinhayevskyi Yevhen 

The victim is listed as JSC "Aviation and Rocket Technology Manufacture". This concerns criminal proceeding No. 52025000000000404 dated 16.07.2025. The case involves corruption schemes at SE "Spetstechnoexport", which was headed by Pavlo Barbul. It was through Vakur s.r.o. that he received bribes.

Barbul himself fled to Poland. And interestingly — there is no decision on his extradition! We’re talking about hundreds of millions of hryvnias.

To launder and conceal these assets, a classic scheme of registering property to relatives is used, in particular to the mother Atanasyan Karina. Until the end of 2023, they jointly controlled the British PATRIOT INVESTMENTS LLP, through which Barbul managed funds abroad, formally staying in the shadows. We have already written about Barbul’s fictitious loans.
