Individuals linked to an ongoing National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) investigation have attempted to sell luxury real estate valued at over $2 million. The properties are located in the exclusive «French Village» gated community in Kozyn, Kyiv Oblast. According to investigators, these assets were previously used to launder funds intended for high-ranking officials and prominent business figures.
The luxury villas currently put up for sale are officially registered under LLC «Lisovyi Kvartal» (ТОВ «Лісовий квартал»). According to the state registry, the company’s shares are split among five shareholders:
Liliia Lysenko — 25%
Hennadii Opalchuk — 25%
Serhii Safronov — 25%
Maryna Safronova — 20%
Oleksandr Malynovskyi — 5%
The rushed attempt to offload this prime real estate near Kyiv coincides with intensified investigative actions by law enforcement. Real estate market experts note that such transactions involving exposed assets are typically aimed at converting property into cash before official court freezes or asset seizures can take place.
According to the NABU case files, Liliia Lysenko and Hennadii Opalchuk acted as proxies for the leadership of an organized criminal group, facilitating the legalization of illicit funds.
NABU materials indicate that these corporate structures were utilized to finance the construction of elite mansions for top government officials and business executives.
The investigation names several high-profile figures, including Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s business partner Tymur Mindich, Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak, and former Minister of Regional Development and current CEO of Naftogaz Oleksiy Chernyshov. A fourth individual involved in the scheme is identified in the case files simply as «Vova»; law enforcement has yet to officially establish his full identity.
Beyond their involvement in the real estate sector, key figures in the probe hold other major commercial interests in Ukraine. Specifically, LLC «Lisovyi Kvartal» co-owner Hennadii Opalchuk serves as both the sole beneficiary and CEO of «Solitaire Investment Ukraine,» a company operating in the country’s legalized gambling and igaming market.
NABU has not yet issued an official comment on whether Opalchuk’s gambling operations are being scrutinized for potential involvement in laundering the funds tied to the primary criminal investigation. The probe remains ongoing.
