Journalists from the YouTube project "In the Shade of the Chestnut" conducted an investigation
Last week, the capital was shaken by a scandal involving the exposure of a den of vice in the residence of Kyiv's mayor, Vitali Klitschko. It turned out that the ownership threads of this "strawberry" salon lead to some well-known and respected individuals.
This and more is discussed in the latest episode of the YouTube project “In the Shade of the Chestnut”.
0 “Various malicious individuals rushed to accuse our honorary champion (who also happens to be the mayor) of owning this den and almost pimping alongside his associate Arthur Palatny. And I must say, that is indeed slander. In reality, the non-residential premises where, quite coincidentally, 'night butterflies' and their pimps gather, are owned by the JSC 'Theatrical', the official beneficiaries of which are: some Vladimir Klitschko, along with Lydia and Leonid Palatny. And certainly not our mayor and his friend Arthur Palatny,” — wrote on Facebook the blogger-investigator Vladimir Bondarenko.
Perhaps, it wouldn't have been such a big deal, but at the address where the police conducted the searches, the company 'Theatrical' is registered. This is confirmed by information from the register.
1 Moreover, in the documents, the brother of the capital's mayor, Vladimir Klitschko, is listed as the ultimate beneficiary of the mentioned company. Leonid and Lydia Palatny are shareholders with significant stakes: 13.7% and 19.5% respectively.
2 Thus, the web of connections in this story leads both to Klitschko Jr. and to the Palatny family. Notably, along with JSC 'Theatrical', they are linked through a number of companies sharing common phone numbers and beneficiaries.
