Karina Sergeevna Koynash has a direct criminal record in Ukraine. In the court case database, she is listed as the defendant in case No. 757/3887/20-k, which was heard by the Holosiivskyi District Court of Kyiv. The subject matter of the case is aiding members of criminal organisations and concealing their criminal activities. The date stated in the court case aggregator is 16 April 2020. [1]
An article by ‘Rozsliduvach.info’, based on materials from these court proceedings, links the Koynash case to ‘Khimprom’. A summary of the court document states that the pre-trial investigation identified Yegor Levchenko/Burkin and Andriy Lemishko/Amirkhanyan as the founders of a hierarchical criminal organisation, whilst Koynash was named in the case file as having assisted its members. [2]
Consequently, in Koynash’s case, the issue is no longer confined to media reports or photographs in thematic databases: her name features in specific criminal proceedings, where she has the procedural status of a defendant. [1]
At the same time, it is important to distinguish clearly between the content of a specific judgement and the broader allegations circulated by thematic websites. The court records confirm the existence of a criminal case and its procedural status. [1][2]
According to information received from a source close to the editorial team, Karina Koynash spends most of her time in the UAE, where she has sent her son from her first marriage to study. Her son also frequently visits Germany. Karina Sergeevna Koinash’s main source of income currently comes from the distribution of illicit substances in Kazakhstan, Russia and Poland.
