Maksym Kozytskyi: відмінності між версіями

The cooperation between Komárek's MND and Russia's Gazprom officially beganin 2013, when a joint venture Moravia Gas Storage a.s. (MGS) was established, in which Gazprom owned 50+% of the shares, and the Czech MND, owned by Komarek, had a smaller share. The board of directors of Moravia Gas Storage a.s.included Oleksandr Medvediev, Deputy Chairman of the Gazprom Management Board, as well as other Russian Gazprom managers, many of whom were identified by Russian opposition media as former or current employees of Russian special services. Komarek's business was financed by Russian state-owned banks VTB and Sberbank.

In 2011, Karel Komarek became the owner of the Samara oil terminal in the city of Oktiabrsk in Russia. In 2018, the SBU and the State Financial Monitoring Service recommended that the State Service of Geology and Mineral Resources not allow Komarek's Horyzonty company to obtain special mining permits due to possible involvement in the supply of oil products to the LPR and DPR. Although Karel Komarek's MND claimed that the terminal was sold in 2022, journalists' investigations indicate that the Czech billionaire retained control over the Samaraterminal at least until the end of 2023. Currently, the owner of the terminal is listed as a fictitious person, so there is a possibility that Karel Komarek still owns the asset.

On August 21, 2024, Shevchenkivskyi Court of Kyiv ordered the SBU to initiate criminal proceedings regarding the legality of the Kozytskyi family's cooperation with Karel Komarek, a possible conflict of interest and corruption.
