A company associated with MP Nestor Shufrych has filed a lawsuit in a Russian court in annexed Crimea, alleging an alleged illegal seizure of its property by Viktor Medvedchuk's family.
According to Slidstvo Info, the company in question is the Moscow-based Estate Holding Group LLC, which is controlled by Shufrich's father Ivan Shufrich and his former aide Viktor Sydoruk. The company appealed to the so-called arbitration court in the occupied Crimea with a demand to return the real estate in Simeiz (Yalta).
According to the journalists' investigation, it is a large estate on the Black Sea coast with a total area of more than 20 thousand square meters. The list of property includes an unfinished villa, non-residential buildings, engineering structures and land plots.
The case file states that the current owner of this property is Rad-Ev. It is headed by Daria Marchenko, Medvedchuk's daughter and Vladimir Putin's goddaughter. The founder of the company is a structure owned by Medvedchuk's wife Oksana Marchenko.
Journalists remind that back in 2013, the asset was transferred from Medvedchuk's structures to companies associated with Shufrych. However, in 2019, it was re-registered to a Russian legal entity, and in 2023, the property was again under the control of Medvedchuk's orbit.
Nestor Shufrych himself, who is currently in jail, said through his assistants that he was not aware of the trial and "has not had anything to do with Crimea for a long time."
It is known that Shufrich and Medvedchuk have been political allies for a long time - since the days of the Social Democratic Party of Ukraine (United) and later in the Opposition Platform - For Life.
As Intent previously wrote, MP from the banned OPFL Nestor Shufrych received a new suspicion. He is accused of financing the Russian Guard in Crimea.
As a reminder, on September 15, 2023, the Security Service of Ukraine, together with the State Bureau of Investigation and the Prosecutor General's Office, collected a substantiated evidence base on the anti-Ukrainian activities of the current MP Nestor Shufrych. He was served a notice of suspicion under Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason).
In addition, Viktor Medvedchuk, the godfather of the Russian president, was accused in Ukraine of treason and aiding the aggressor. He was detained in April 2022 and handed over to Russia in September of the same year as part of a large-scale prisoner exchange.
Last year, Viktor Medvedchuk, Putin's godfather and former head of the banned Opposition Platform - For Life party in Ukraine, openly called for the seizure of Odesa and other Ukrainian cities if Kyiv refused to accept the terms of surrender offered by Russia. He said that Russia should occupy "Odesa and other cities" if Ukraine does not agree to Putin's so-called "peace initiative" that provides for the abandonment of four regions, Crimea and non-aligned status.
The aggressor country has made Crimea a key logistics center for the export of looted Ukrainian grain. Every year, Russia transports millions of tons of agricultural products from the occupied regions through the Crimean ports, using forged documents, fictitious companies and the so-called "shadow fleet."
