As a reminder, NABU and SAPO reported suspicions to developer Oleksandr Hlimbovsky and former advisor to the former head of the State Fiscal Service Roman Nasirov. According to the investigation, Nasirov's father-in-law Hlimbovsky helped legalize 13 million euros of illegal profit, which, according to the prosecution, the former head of the State Fiscal Service received from oligarch Oleh Bakhmatyuk for extraordinary VAT reimbursement to his companies. Hlimbovsky allegedly legalized the entire amount of the bribe received and spent it on the purchase of an unfinished residential and office complex with parking in the center of Kyiv "Metropol". The complex continued to be built and received additional income, in particular in 2022-2023.

At the end of 2023, NABU and SAPO secured the seizure of 81 real estate properties and over UAH 30 million, which the owner of a group of construction companies acquired precisely thanks to legalized funds.

Another part of the ill-gotten gains in the amount of 7.9 million euros, which were in the accounts of another controlled offshore company, was legalized by Nasirov's advisor. He laundered 5.5 million dollars by concluding an agency agreement in January 2017. And in April - August 2018 - another 2.8 million euros as payment under purchase and sale agreements.

Oleksandr Hlimbovsky is a figure in the EBK database.
