Andriy Hmyrin, a suspect in the billion-dollar scam of the State Property Fund, who has been wanted for a year and a half, founded a business abroad and purchased luxury property. This was reported by investigative journalists of Bihus.Info publication.

According to NABU, in 2020-2021, Grymin, together with the former head of the State Property Fund, Dmytro Sennychenko, organized a scheme at state-owned enterprises that were under the control of the SPFU.

According to the law enforcement officers, they appointed people under their control to the management positions of the Odesa Port Plant and the United Mining and Chemical Company.

These "managers" ensured the conclusion of contracts with controlled companies, selling them goods of state-owned enterprises at discounted prices.

In total, 12 suspects appear in the case, eight of whom, including Sennychenko and Hmyryn, are abroad and wanted.

Bihus.Info noted that Andrii Hmyrin's family owns at least three companies in the United Arab Emirates. In April 2023, one of the Dubai firms registered a company in France called GFD COTE D'AZUR, which purchased a villa and five plots of land on the French Riviera.

The total value of this property is estimated at around 5 million euros. The investigation says that the 400 m² villa on the Cote d'Azur can be found on real estate rental platforms. The building has five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a pool in the yard. However, it is currently impossible to book, as a French court seized the villa in August of this year as part of a criminal investigation that is ongoing in Ukraine.

In addition, the Gmyrin family became the owner of the yacht Cranchi Settantotto 78, the market value of which is approximately 5.5 million euros. The yacht was purchased by GFB COMPANY LTD, registered in the British Virgin Islands, whose owner is Ukrainian Yevhen Golovin, Gmyrin's Dubai business partner, journalists reported.

According to Bihus.Info, Andrii Gmyrin's parents have registered a business in Croatia consisting of six real estate companies. Millions of euros appear in the financial statements of these firms.
