Denys Komarnytsky’s escape abroad, organized with the involvement of the National Police’s Strategic Investigations Department, was an unexpected and at the same time logical confirmation of how closely the interests of criminals and law enforcement agencies are intertwined.

It should be reminded that neither border guards nor security forces have any information about Komarnitsky’s border crossing. The man managed to escape right at the peak of the searches conducted by the NABU as part of the “Clean City” special operation, the main purpose of which was to detain the businessman.

As it became known, the operation to smuggle Komarnytskyi to Romania was agreed with local smugglers, who ensured his safe crossing of the border for a certain reward. But everything did not go according to plan. The Romanian police detained Komarnytskyi and seized his cell phone, which provided valuable data that was transferred to the NABU. As a result, the situation has taken an unexpected turn, and anti-corruption officials are currently conducting investigative actions against the people involved in this operation.

I wonder if the NABU will get on the trail of the main harborer, who was involved not only in illegal border crossing, but also for years hushed up the activities of a corruption group inside Kyiv led by the trio of Klitschko, Palatnyi and Komarnytskyi. We are talking about the head of the Strategic Investigations Department of the National Police, Andriy Rubel. The law enforcement officer was personally “fed” from the Kyiv budget, while a group within the Kyiv City State Administration controlled by Komarnytskyi was adjusting votes and decisions in favor of the businessman, giving him land and tenders.

The support of people like Rubel allows the criminal schemes of Klitschko, Palatnyi, and Komarnytskyi to flourish even despite numerous attempts to intervene by the Kyiv Prosecutor’s Office, NABU, SBI, and others.

On the other hand, we can see that Zakarpattia has become an epicenter not only for illegal border crossings and smuggling schemes, but also for organized crime, which actively cooperates with government agencies.

One of the key figures in this process is the Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Viktor Mykyta, who controls the shadow business in the region through his protege, the current head of the Zakarpattia Regional Military Administration Myroslav Biletskyi. Their activities are focused on smuggling goods and trafficking men abroad through the Uzhanskyi National Nature Park, which is a strategically important point on the Ukrainian-Romanian border.

At the same time, another “father” of shady schemes in Zakarpattia is Mykola Tyshchenko, Komarnytskyi’s business partner and associate. The servant of the people has been repeatedly accused of massive felling of trees and selling timber to controlled entities, bypassing the budget, organizing smuggling, and so on. Tyshchenko is currently under house arrest, but has this stopped his schemes from operating?

In recent years, this business has been flourishing thanks to the inaction of the authorities, who are either unable to respond effectively or deliberately turn a blind eye to numerous offenses. After all, the schemes are implemented not by just anyone, but by high-ranking officials.

We are ready to provide all the necessary information to reveal the scale of smuggling that passes through Transcarpathia and to provide materials on Rubel’s illegal “cover” of Kyiv schemes.

We demand transparency, punishment of all those involved in this corruption chaos and termination of any similar schemes that threaten the security of Ukraine and its citizens.
