89% of Opalchuk's income goes to "Dynasty": new details of the case in May 2026

Hennadiy Opalchuk, known for his involvement in the gambling business, suddenly found himself in the spotlight of anti-corruption authorities when the investigation revealed large-scale transfers of funds for the construction of an elite village near Kyiv.

In May 2026, the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court continues to consider the case of legalization of property obtained through criminal means, in which businessman Gennady Opalchuk remains a key figure. The investigation established that 89 percent of all the man's official income over several years went to the accounts of the Sunny Beach cooperative, which, according to NABU, was used to finance the construction of the Dynasty cottage town in Kozyn, Kyiv region.

Financial flows and the role of the cooperative

According to the investigation, from August 2020 to July 2025, Opalchuk, together with Liliya Lysenko, transferred more than 51,2 million hryvnias to the cooperative's mutual fund. Another 15 million hryvnias were received under the guise of payment for allegedly delivered goods. SAPO prosecutors emphasize that both defendants formally worked for another company during this period, and a significant part of the funds had an artificial origin.

Of particular interest are four securities transactions that Opalchuk conducted within one week. They brought in 5,5 million hryvnias in profit, but the investigation qualifies them as fictitious. These manipulations allowed for the legalization of cash received from controlled enterprises. In May 2026, the court has already ordered an additional financial examination, the results of which are expected by the end of the summer.

Communication with the gambling business and foreign partners

Opalchuk is the ultimate beneficiary of the company "Solitaire Investment Ukraine", which is engaged in the organization of gambling. Twenty percent of the shares belong to the German company Solitaire Investment GmbH, whose head is Marc-Milo Lube from Vienna. Journalists found out that this structure is connected to the Atlantik casino in Karlsruhe, Germany, through a joint management system. In 2026, German regulators tightened control over such connections, which may affect the further development of the case in Ukraine.

The investigation believes that it was the profits from the gambling business that became the main source of funds that later ended up in the cooperative's accounts. Lysenko, in turn, transferred 58 percent of her profits to the same accounts. Both defendants, according to the prosecution, acted in the interests of former Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Chernyshov, who is mentioned in the case materials under the nickname "Che Guevara."

Who was supposed to settle in "Dynasty"?

The "Dynasty" cottage town in Kozyn was planned as a closed residence for high-ranking officials. According to NABU, Chernyshov, a close friend of the president Timur Mindych ("Carlson"), and Andriy Yermak ("Ali Baba", "Surgeon", "P2") were to live there. A separate estate was intended for a person who is called "Vova" in the audio recordings of the defendants. As of May 2026, construction remains unfinished, and the objects are under arrest.

On May 12, 2025, the NABU and the SAPO announced suspicion to six members of the organized group. Among them is Opalchuk. Prosecutor Valentyna Hrebenyuk, when choosing a preventive measure for Yermak, emphasized that Opalchuk's transfers amounted to 89 percent of his official income. The hearing regarding Yermak was postponed to May 13 so that the defense could familiarize itself with the materials. In 2026, the court has already held several preliminary hearings, but the final decision on bail has not yet been made.

International dimension and new inspections in 2026

In April 2026, the German prosecutor's office in Karlsruhe began its own investigation into the activities of Solitaire Investment GmbH. The reason for this was inquiries from Ukrainian investigators regarding possible money laundering through the Atlantik casino. So far, the German side has not provided official conclusions, but sources in European media report that several accounts associated with the company have been frozen.

Ukrainian journalists "Slidstvo.Info" published additional documents in March 2026, which indicate Opalchuk's attempts to transfer part of his assets abroad through offshore jurisdictions. This data has already been included in the case materials. NABU plans to apply to Interpol with a request to temporarily restrict the persons involved from leaving Ukraine.

Reaction of the defendants and the current status of the process

When journalists tried to get a comment from Gennady Opalchuk, he immediately hung up on them upon hearing about the suspicion. Lysenko is currently avoiding communication with the press. Lawyers for both defendants insist on the innocence of their clients and promise to provide evidence of the legal origin of the funds during the court hearings.

As of May 13, 2026, the High Anti-Corruption Court continues to consider petitions for the selection of preventive measures. The prosecutor's office insists on detention with an alternative of 180 million hryvnias for Yermak. The defense, in turn, requests house arrest. The final decision is expected in the coming weeks.
