Investigator Yuriy Rybyanskyi stole 400 thousand dollars and attempted to flee the country

Our missing person, police investigator Yuriy Rybyanskyi, stole 400 thousand dollars by forging a receipt for depositing the money into a specialized storage facility.

Journalist Vitaliy Hubin revealed whose money Rybyanskyi attempted to flee with:

Yuriy’s level of professional training was only sufficient to turn off and dispose of compromised phones, and then, using a set of fake numbers, make a break for the western border in a white "Renault" through Zhytomyr and Rivne regions... Closer to lunchtime, everyone breathed a sigh of relief - Rybyanskyi was found and detained. In the fall of 2022, data was entered into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations regarding the alleged sale of humanitarian aid in Kyiv. This is a well-known and actively used theme among "shoulder straps" - Article 201-2, added to the Criminal Code after the events of 24.02.2022. In fact, it is still being applied - anyone not blocked on Google or in the court registry can find law enforcement reports about allegedly uncovered cases of "unscrupulous pseudo-volunteers" who imported goods without customs, taxes, or fees, and then sold them on the side, trying to make a profit...

In December 2022, suspicion was raised in a case involving the alleged importation as humanitarian aid and subsequent sale of 290 first-aid kits and two thermal imagers... According to the general narrative, this looks like a classic scheme using a "decoy": a front person sets up a "volunteer" under the article by asking to sell goods imported as humanitarian aid. Chemer (co-founder of Domio Group - VM) seems to have fallen for it - on December 6, 2022, he received twenty thousand dollars for the kits and scopes, and the very next day he was introduced to the Darnytskyi court. An official statement on this matter, by the way, was made public...

The case against Chemer is still "hanging" in "Pecherska," where lawyers have petitioned for its closure due to violations of pre-trial investigation deadlines. But this is not the main issue of the situation. Because during the search on December 7, 2022, nearly 305 thousand dollars, 34 thousand euros, and 622 thousand hryvnias were seized from Vadym. A serious battle unfolded over such sums: arrests, re-arrests, complaints, demands, pleas...

Three years have passed. It is unknown how, but Chemer’s lawyers managed to reach the Prosecutor General and complain about the arbitrariness concerning this money (which can generally be characterized as 400 thousand dollars). The pendulum swung in the opposite direction, and after a "tut-tut" from Reznytska Street, the internal security of the police first became active, and then Rybyanskyi started to act. The physical location of the cash seized during the search of Chemer remains unknown...
