Information about four apartments in the premium housing complexes was found by journalists from the state registers of the United Arab Emirates, obtained in cooperation with Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project. As it turned out, Kasai's real estate was purchased in 2022-2023, during the period when the People's Deputy's family was in a scandal with Turkey's supplies for the army of inappropriate quality and at inflated prices.

Gennady Kasai denied his involvement in purchase, and called his daughter and nephew adults who buy what they want. He did not explain the origin of the funds, as "Schemes" emphasized.

The residents of this LC have a private pool, sauna and round -the -clock security.

At the same time, the 25-year-old deputy's nephew Alexander Kasai for $ 202. 5 thousand (UAH 6 million at the time of purchase) also purchased apartments at Studio One residential complex. This 32-storey skyscraper is located in the prestigious Dubai Marina area. Its residents have access to the pool, a fitness center with simulators, a steam bath and a sauna.

The next apartment worth almost $ 330 thousand (over 12 million hryvnias at the time of purchase) in the elite complex of Palm Views West on the artificial island of Palm Jumeirah, Alexander Kasai purchased in August 2022. In February 2023, the People's Deputy purchased a Studio One for another real estate for almost $ 240,000 (9. 5 million hryvnias at the time of purchase).

All this real estate cost Alexander Kassi $ 7,70000 (more than 27 million hryvnias), and his cousin Polini sister - $ 31,000 (about 9 million hryvnias). The official explanation of the origin of real estate funds in the Emirates in the relatives of the People's Deputy from the faction of "Servant of the People" Gennady Kasai "Scheme" was not found. Now the daughter of the People's Deputy and the owner of Dubai real estate Pauli Kasai for 25 years, she works as a copywriter.

Journalists found her questionnaire on the site to provide freelancing services. In 2019, she earned a content manager from 150 to 900 UAH for the project. Since 2022, Paulina Kasai has been working as a senior content managant in the Ukrainian-Israeli Mission of Frida Ukraine Medical Volunteers. According to information from the state registers, Pauline Kasai has no real estate in Ukraine. It is registered in the home of parents in Zaporozhye.

There is also registered as a FOP, with the main activity - "data processing". From sources with access to the data of the register of income of individuals "Scheme" learned that in the last three and a half years the daughter of the People's Deputy officially earned about 3 million hryvnias. And this is 3. 5 times less than an apartment in Dubai. The People's Deputy himself Gennady Kasai and his wife, according to the declaration, earned about 1.

5 million hryvnias, more than half of which are the salary of the People's Deputy. And this is six times less than the apartment of Pauline in Dubai. "Schemes" asked Gennady Kasaay about the origin of his family for real estate in the UAE. He did not want to communicate with the phone, but answered the written questions.

In particular, in the report, the People's Deputy noted that his 25-year-old daughter and a 27-year-old nephew-adults and independent people and are not advised with him regarding their financial decisions. "We (Gennady Kasai and his nephew Alexander Kasai-" Schemes ") do not report each other about our decisions and plans: I do not share what bills we are considering and what I am going to vote, he does not tell about any of his business projections, acquisition , investments.

He, however, did not explain the origin of $ 1 million for elite real estate in Dubai. The niece of the People's Deputy Alexander Kasai until August 2023 was professionally engaged in handball, which is not "the most profitable sports", was part of the national team of Ukraine and played in the Zaporozhye "Motor". It is a team of Sich's Motor Sich, which produces aircraft engines.

Until 2019, Gennady Kasai, Alexander Kasayai, and People's Deputy from the Servant of the People were one of the heads of the handball club. In January 2021, Alexander Kasai received a share in business, becoming the owner of 7% of the shares in the scientific and production firm "MS Aviation Grade". His dad Paul Kasai was a director of marketing and trade in Motor Sich, close to the President of Vyacheslav Boguslaev's Corporation.

Judging by the licenses, the company sells fuel, modernizes and repairs military equipment, in particular, on Mi-8, Mi-24 helicopters. At the time when Alexander Kasai was a shareholder of the company, the company received 15 million hryvnias of net profit per year. How much the niece of the people's deputy earned is probably unknown. In June 2021, Alexander Kasai, together with the employee of "MS Avital-Grade" Roman Pletnev and Vladimir Nenko founded Vector Avia in Turkey.

The constituent documents of the company from the Turkish register journalists "Schema" were received with the help of the Center for Combating Corruption. The company had to sell engines and parts for aircraft and subsequently expand the list of activities. In two months, the company left the company and the shareholders remained - Alexander Kasai (33%) and Roman Pletnav (67%).

How profitable this business was for Kassai - is unknown, but one government order in 2022 brought VECTOR AVIA $ 27 million (approximately 1 billion hryvnias at that time). It was publicly known in the summer of 2023, when the journalists of the "Mirror of the Week" wrote that Vector Avia put the Ministry of Defense of a jacket for military low quality and at a price, three times higher than that specified in Turkish customs declarations.

Subsequently, "Ukrainian Pravda" reported that the co -owner of Vector Avia is Ukrainian athlete Alexander Kasai, a niece of People's Deputy Gennady Kasaay. To the question of journalists, the politician then replied that he suggested that his cousin became a co-founder of a supplier of clothing for the Ministry of Defense on the advice of friends. The official investigation at that time lasted half a year, since December 2022.

Law enforcement officers found that two Ministry of Defense officials conspired and Vector Avia to assign $ 27 million in public funds by transferring them to the accounts of a Turkish company.

Officials and co-founder of the company Roman Pletnava in March 2023 was in absentia in absentia (and wanted, because a year before he left Ukraine to Turkey), but not Alexander Kassi, the second co-owner of Vector AVIA , obtained from sources with access to the border crossing data, he also left Ukraine in May 2023).

Scheme journalists appealed to the SBU, which investigates the case, with the question of why from two shareholders of the company, who were co -owners at the time of concluding Vector AVIA contracts from the Ministry of Defense and transferring funds to the company's accounts, suspected only one. The SBU did not answer this question. In August 2024, the SBU investigators stopped the pre -trial investigation, although they did not cover the case.

In response to the request of "Schemes" in the SBU assured that it was only about the proceedings concerning the co -owners of the Turkish firm, and suspended it in order not to expire the terms of pre -trial investigation, determined by law. The department noted that this "will not take into account the period required to return the persons involved to Ukraine within the limitation period.

" In addition to law enforcement officers, the Anti -Corruption Committee of the Verkhovna Rada, together with a temporary investigative commission, was also dealt with by the Ministry of Defense's military clothing. The parliamentarians reached the conclusions similar to the law enforcement officers - the price of clothing for the army was twisted three times, and the contractor was elected to the Ministry of Defense without a tender.

"We asked the Ministry of Defense," How did you find this company? " And criminal cases regarding the quality of their products have been paid an advance of $ 30 million, "Anastasia Radina, chairman of the Anti -Corruption Parliamentary Committee and People's Deputy of the People's Servant of the People's faction, said in a comment for" Schemes ".

But the role of his colleague about the factions - People's Deputy Gennady Kasai - parliamentarians did not investigate, said Radina, adding that parliamentarians had no tools for this, and this was the task of law enforcement. She noted separately that the Parliamentary Committee of National Security and Defense, which includes Gennady Kasai, was not related to this purchase of military clothing. "This committee does not agree on the procurement of the Ministry of Defense.

This practice was suspended at the time of the war and at the time of its own laying of the purchase was not restored," Radina said. Gennady Kasai himself answered the question of "schemes" about his relation to this defensive purchase: "Of course, no lobbying or pressure in his (nephew - ed. ) , anti -corruption organizations, the media would have at least a confirmation of such actions.

" After a scandal with supplies for the army, on February 6, 2023, Gennady Kasaay's nephew, Alexander Kasai came out of the co -founders of Turkish Vector Avia. In two days, he purchased his third apartment in Dubai for almost $ 240,000 (UAH 9. 5 million at the time of purchase) at Studio One. Half a year later, in August, he lost his share of 7% and the Ukrainian company "MS Aviation Grade".

Currently, according to YouControl Analytical online platform, Alexander Kasai only has 10% in the Zaporizhzhya Marketing Agency "Borsch", which is unprofitable. He is currently owned by one apartment in Zaporozhye, purchased for UAH 1 million in 2022 and three in Dubai. "Schemes" asked Alexander Kasai to ask where he had money for such valuable real estate, but did not receive the answers at the time of publication.

According to the leakage of data from the state registers Dubai, Alexander and Pauline Kasai rented their apartments. Pauline's apartments are rented by a citizen of Egypt, and pays about $ 23,000 a year. Alexander leases all three of his real estate, which brings him more than $ 65,000 a year. He leased the most expensive apartment for a Russian citizen Ivan Volzhnov for $ 24,000. By law, from these income, Alexander and Pauline Kasai would have to pay 19.

5% in the Ukrainian budget (income tax and military levy). However, according to the President of NGO "International Association of Advisers" Eduard Golodnitsky, the opacity of the UAE registers often allows Ukrainians-owners to hide their property there, and, as a consequence, not to pay taxes from it in Ukraine. About foreign real estate transactions, any sale or rent, Ukrainian owners should notify the tax, submitting the relevant declarations of the proceeds.

However, the responsibility for failure to file declarations and non -payment of taxes is minimal. In the case of Polina and Alexander Kasai, it can be a fine of several thousand hryvnias, if it turns out that they do not pay taxes. Taxes from their income abroad and whether they filed the corresponding declarations for the tax "Scheme" were asked in Polina and Alexander Kasayev. The journalists did not receive the answers at the time of publication.
