So, finally, after many serious materials in the media, NABU and SAM detained Artem Shilo. “Shilo Artem Viktorovich is an employee of the SBU, and served as an adviser to the OP.
In August 2022, he returned to the SBU as head of the department for counterintelligence protection of critical infrastructure facilities and combating the financing of terrorism. While working in the SBU.
Today, NABU and SAPO detained Artem Shilo on suspicion of organizing a criminal group that seized UAH 95 million from Ukrzaliznytsia for the purchase of transformers.
Shiloh is not a random person in the system. His mother worked at the university. Yaroslav the Wise, together with the deputy chairman of the OP
Oleg Tatarov was a member of the editorial board of the scientific journal “Bulletin of Criminal Procedure”.
Over 10 years of work in the SBU and the office of the President, Artem Shilo’s “family” accumulated property of more than $4 million.
So ladies and gentlemen, what are your predictions?
Shilo is an honest and principled person, and his detention is some kind of unfortunate misunderstanding
Tomorrow they will forget about the detention, and Shilo will go as ambassador to Bali
Exemplary execution by hanging"
And these 95 million are by no means one “successful business” of Tatarov’s group, which includes Artem Shilo. But Tatarov will not be imprisoned. Most likely, Shilo will also be released. After such open corruption in the highest echelons of power, will they give us money for the war and restoration of the country? What do you think? If such voracious creatures lost all fear during the war, and the President and his office cover up these creatures, what is the point of giving money? By the way, a question not only for Tatarov, but also for Malysh? How could such a voracious creature “serve in cleaning”? Or is Little Shiloh not the boss? How did Demchina not obey Gritsak, but carry out orders directly from Poroshenko? But then the image of the Kid as formidable and fearless somehow fades. Katsapov is not afraid, but is he afraid of some bugs from the OP? Although, if you remember, then Malysh is Tatarov’s man. By the way, do the security forces have at least someone “not from Tatarov” in their leadership?
By the way, I wonder if Shilo will bring along his godfather Sergei and the 1xBet “game”? Especially considering that gambling has now become a national problem and, as always, the katsaps are behind it.
Let's remember this story.
Artyom Shilo in the service of 1XBET
“Last night, the Exante broker, who is the main holder of bonds for which Alfabank owes unfortunate investors $400 million, was sanctioned by Decree (see link in the first comment). After nationalization, in fact, it became the state's debt. But the sanctions of the National Bank of Ukraine will not allow speculators to steal workers’ and peasants’ money from the budget.
Some thought he was deaf, but for some reason I blame Tyoma. At first I made Parimatch in favor of the X's, now I've screwed them over. He knows how to select Tatar personnel..." Vladimir Bondarenko
If we decipher this text, then we are talking about the fact that the deputy head of the Department for the Protection of National Statehood of the SBU, Artem Shilo, is lobbying for the interests of the Russian “gambling” 1XBET and is killing the competitors of this office for a bribe. Is this surprising? Not at all.
The story is old, vile, but not surprising. To quote Skeleton-inform:
“1xBet is one of the most famous online bookmakers in the world. This business was created by three Russians and in the Russian Federation itself it worked in the gray, without a license and without paying taxes, which resulted in a criminal case, seizure of assets, and putting the founders on the wanted list. The founders successfully acclimatized in Cyprus, and their brainchild continued to work.
In early April, as soon as the Russian army was expelled from Kyiv, 1xBet received an official license. And this led to a serious scandal. People's deputies are beginning to find out that it was not 1xBet itself that received the license, but a Ukrainian LLC as a representative of the brand. Although the law says: a company owned or controlled by Russians cannot obtain a license.
It turned out that no one checks the long list of restrictions according to the law, because the procedure for checking them was never approved.
In search of an answer to the question - a mess or a conspiracy - journalists and activists began to sort through the options: who helped the X-ers enter the Ukrainian market.
The first thing they pointed to was Boris Baum, then chairman of the KRAIL advisory and expert council. In the past, a top manager associated with the Russians of VS Energy has transformed into an adviser to the deputy head of the OP Kirill Timoshenko, this is official, but unofficially - into an eminence grise of gambling. When the scandal broke, Baum was fired, but for some reason they were in no hurry to take away his license.
So the inquisitive Ukrainians went digging further and got to the bottom of the TECHIIA holding and Shilo.
Officially, the Ukrainian company TBK LLC received two licenses to operate under the 1xBet brand.
Its owner is Sergei Tsybin, a former banker - but so former that now other banks are suing Tsybin over the non-repayment of ordinary card loans. The company's charter is 30 million, the cost of one license is 25, and the second is 117.
At the same time, it turned out that Tsybin previously owned the Me-Estate company, where the director was Yuriy Lazebnikov, managing partner of the Ukrainian IT and e-sports holding TECHIIA. Holding, which last year officially announced cooperation and a joint project with 1xBet and even announced “X” as partners for 2021. In Current, the chief lawyer is Roman Rodin, whose brother Alexander runs this same TBK, which received licenses in Ukraine for 1xBet.
The second managing partner of TECHIIA is Oleg Krot. He admits that he knows the founders of 1xBet and actually had one project with the “X” last year, but he assures that this project lasted no longer than a month. At the same time, Krot has nothing globally against the work of 1xBet in Ukraine. More precisely, he considers this issue debatable and is inclined to take a pragmatic approach - it would be good if taxes went to Ukraine.
After another wave of scandal, the license was canceled - but the company is suing for its renewal.
As for Shilo, he was called the “patron” of 1xBet “InformNapalm”, casually, without any special details. It later turned out that Artem Shilo registered his law firm at the address of the law firm, whose partners, according to Napalm, accompanied the licensing of TBK, and later defended the companies in court.
In addition, Bihus.info journalists found out that among the main TECHIIA projects presented on the holding’s website there is a large-scale eco-techno park. In the company “Dynaline”, which was supposed to implement it by the founders, there was the aforementioned Mole with Sergei Titov, Shila’s godfather. The sbushnik's godfather must deal with bureaucratic red tape and land registration.
Shilo himself now pretends that he barely remembers who baptized his child and what he did.
“But it seems that the godfather, like the driver, was “built-in” into a certain business system. In addition to Dainaline, Titov owned particles in two more companies, together with the wife of Shilo’s boss, Klimchuk. About three years ago, that is, after they, according to Shilo, stopped communicating, they were written off with Titov as “Sasha Artem’s driver” Skuratov. And even later, Titov’s fate in Dainaline was attributed to Evgeniy Lyashchenko, who would later be appointed a member of the board of Ukrzaliznytsia,” journalists reported.
