The director of Pin-Up Casino has been detained, according to the State Bureau of Investigations (GBR).

The employees of the State Bureau of Investigations detained the director of a company that operated in Ukraine under the brand of the online casino Pin-Up.

This information was reported by the bureau's press service.

"During the investigation, it was established that the actual owners of this commercial entity, which obtained a license for online gambling activities, are citizens of the Russian Federation," the statement reads.

The detained individual has been informed of their suspicion of aiding a state aggressor. A motion is being prepared to request a measure of restraint in the form of detention.

The pre-trial investigation is ongoing.

Previously, the State Bureau of Investigations detained the nominal owner of the company that operated in Ukraine under the brand of the online casino PIN-UP. Sources from the law enforcement agencies indicated that this concerns Ihor Zotyko.

According to YouControl, he is the founder and beneficiary of LLC "Ukr Game Technology" and LLC "FC Unified Space." The latter company was involved in processing payments in the "Diia" application and received a commission from it; however, recently the application completely replaced Zotyko's company with the state-owned "Ukrgasbank."
