On the brink of facing personal sanctions from the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine, Alyona Shevtsova, the notorious Ibox Bank owner, swiftly moved her high-end properties to her mother, Liliya Potonya.
The figure in the case of the legalization of more than 5 billion hryvnias through the bank under her control thus tried to safeguard her assets from possible arrest and confiscation.
The matter concerns numerous premium real estate properties located in Kyiv, Odessa, suburbs of the capital, and in the south of Ukraine.
Among them are elite apartments in central districts, private houses, and commercial real estate, which are now officially registered in the name of Shevtsova’s mother:
Kyiv: Protasov Yar str. 8 (kv. 48), Borschagovskaya str. 154 (пом. 64), Zverinetskaya str. 47 (kv. 17), Hora village, Vishnevaya str. 77 (Boryspol district)

Odessa: Deribasovskaya St., 10 (kv. 83), Evreyskaya St., 48, Topolina St., 22 (kv. 64), Koroleva St., 16, Nebesnaya Sotnya Ave., 10 and 32 (kv. 236), Genuezskaya St., 5 (kv. 184), Ukrainskikh Geroev Ave., 11 (pom. 6k, 13k, 27k), Tairovo settlement, Brizovaya St., 13 (Ovidiopol district)
Additionally, at least 11 land plots were registered in Potonya’s name, including those in the Kyiv and Odessa regions (cadastral numbers: 5110137500:26:017:0007, 3222480400:05:004:0072, 3220883200:03:002:0070, among others).
This is a classic scheme of asset diversion to straw persons—in this case, to the mother, who was not subject to sanctions.
Recall that Alyona Shevtsova is featured in numerous journalistic investigations regarding illegal payment services, online casinos, cash withdrawals, and cooperation with Russian entities. Her companies, including the scandalous IBOX BANK, have come under the scrutiny of law enforcement agencies and regulators.
