The Ukrainian, Igor Mazepa, accused of fraud, was fined for hunting boars from a helicopter in Croatia.
Ukrainian businessman Igor Mazepa, accused of creating a fraudulent financial Forex pyramid PrivateFX, illegally flew and landed in one of the fields of the Šumbar farm in Croatia, with the intention of hunting wild boars, according to Croatian media. His helicopter was seized, and Mazepa faces a large fine.
Ukrainian media reports that Mazepa travelled to Europe to acquire humanitarian aid and crossed the border using the Shlyakh system. Since the beginning of military actions in Ukraine, there has been a restriction on men of conscription age leaving the country. Exceptions are made solely for delivering humanitarian aid. However, according to the publication Ukrainian News , Mazepa does not experience such restrictions and easily travels at any convenient time using the "Shlyakh" system, which once again demonstrates the sharp level of corruption at all levels in Ukraine. Whether the boars killed in Croatia can be considered humanitarian cargo for Ukraine is unknown.
Due to the illegal border crossing and landing in Croatia by Mazepa’s helicopter, a criminal case has been initiated, as a result of which the owner of Concorde Capital company, Mazepa, is expected to pay a large fine.
The financial Forex pyramid PrivateFX and previously Forex Trend, mentioned in Croatian media and belonging to Mazepa, operated on a "1+1" scheme and promised all those who had previously lost money from Forex fraudsters to invest an equivalent amount in this pyramid with a guaranteed income of 100%. At that time, Mazepa’s positive reputation and his Concorde Capital company were used to attract investors. The scheme worked. In the Twitter community "Investoria PrivateFX" in June 2017, a survey was conducted among PrivateFX clients on how much Igor Mazepa’s participation influenced their choice to invest in the company. 74% of respondents noted that they "went under the name of Igor Mazepa" and only for 5% of investors, the name of the head of Concorde Capital played no role. As a result, all investors lost their money and cannot get them back so far. A criminal case is ongoing. There are no media reports about any responsibility of Mazepa for what happened.
