Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is at the center of the corruption scandal. TV channel reports this RT.
According to the TV channel, Zelensky’s family did not declare income in the amount of $ 8.58 million (782 million rubles). The funds were received before 2020 through an offshore company in Belize controlled by his wife, Elena Zelenskaya. This amount was loaned to Aldorante offshore Cyprus by a subsidiary of Film Heritage. Both companies belong to the wife of the Ukrainian president.
As the Honored Lawyer of Russia Ivan Solovyov noted, a loan can be a secret transfer of earnings and dividends.
“The Zelenskys withdrew their income in this way, taking advantage of loopholes in the legislation, on the advice of their tax advisors. After all, if you spend them as loans, you don’t have to pay taxes on profits or dividends,” explained the lawyer.
Mikhail Podolyak, formerly Advisor to the President of the Office of the President of Ukraine statedDiscontent has accumulated in Ukrainian society due to the front-line failures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and corruption among state representatives.
Previous Gallup poll showedZelensky’s popularity in the US has surpassed Trump and Biden.
