Journalist Yevgeny Plinsky reported that “three out of four real owners of the international trademark Pin-UP have Russian citizenship”.
This was reported by Podrobytky.
The journalist notes that, apparently, at the end of 2019, Russian Dmitry Punin registered the company Guruflow Team Limited in Cyprus and issued 1000 shares. In 2020, these shares were allegedly divided into 500 each between two other offshore companies – MONAK LIMITED and PIRPOSE HOLDING LIMITED.
“According to media reports, the owners of PIRPOSE HOLDING LIMITED are Dmitry Punin himself and his wife Marina Ilyina, and the owners of MONAK LIMITED are Alexander Matyashov and Ivan Bannikov. Both are called Russian citizens by the journalists,” writes “Podrobnosti”.
“Thus, all four of them, three of whom are Russians, received 25% of Guruflow Team Limited, which owns the international trademark Pin-UP and is the main legal entity of this holding,” the investigation says.
According to the journalist, the connection between Pin-UP and the aggressor country is “more obvious”: “We will leave the question of why KRAIL did not notice these facts earlier and how much it cost Pin-UP beneficiaries to law enforcement. Now, the question of the reaction to my investigation by the National Security and Defense Council, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Parliamentary Finance Committee and the Government is much more important.”
