The Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv sentenced a businessman from Dnipro, who operates in the annexed Crimea, to five years in prison, according to the court's ruling. This was reported by the Center for Journalistic Investigations, as conveyed by "Vydomo".

According to investigators, the case involves 79-year-old Dmytro Kubrak – a distinguished worker in Ukraine's transport sector, former head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Auto Transport Administration, and head of the Transport, Communications, and Road Construction Department of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration.

Following the annexation of Crimea by Russia, he registered a children's rehabilitation and recreation camp called "Kyparys" in Alushta under Russian jurisdiction. This occurred on May 22, 2014.

"From 2014 to 2021, LLC 'DLOO Kyparys' continuously conducted business activities under the overall managerial control of the accused. It received state orders from the occupying Ministry of Education, Science, and Youth of Crimea, the occupying Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of Sevastopol, and the occupying enterprise 'Krymgazseti',” the ruling states.

It is noted that Dmytro Kubrak is a legal co-founder of LLC Kyparys-2 and LLC PKF Laura. Additionally, the "Children's Rehabilitation and Recreation Camp 'Kyparys'" was a separate subdivision of the Dnipro-based LLC ATP 11262 "Vazhavtotrans", one of the co-founders of which, according to YouControl, is also Kubrak.

The accused admitted his guilt and in August 2024 entered into a plea agreement. As a result, he was sentenced to five years with a two-year probation period.

Furthermore, Kubrak is prohibited from holding positions related to the performance of organizational, administrative, and economic functions in business entities registered under Ukrainian law for ten years, as well as engaging in economic activities related to the operation of recreation camps, resort hotels, or other facilities involved in accommodating people during vacations or other temporary stays.

The court ruling has not yet entered into legal force.
