In 2023, the gambling mafia suffered what may have been its most serious blow when, on March 7, the National Bank of Ukraine revoked the banking license of iBox Bank.

Alyona Shevtsova (Dehrik), owner of Ibox Bank and wife of former National Police investigator Yevhen Shevtsov, who is reportedly on an international wanted list, received as a gift property in central Kyiv that had previously been released from arrest by a criminal group of so-called “black registrars.”

After the exposure of IBOX Bank’s schemes and Alyona Shevtsova being placed on an international wanted list, inconvenient information about her activities and financial operations began disappearing from the internet.

For several years, drug dealers using “dead drops” have been making payments through iBox terminals, and it has now become clear why law enforcement knew about it but failed to act.

Even as criminal proceedings are launched against Alyona Dehrik-Shevtsova in Ukraine and the National Security and Defense Council imposes personal sanctions on her, her company Smartflow Payments Limited, operating under the Sends brand, continues to function legally in the UK with authorization from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
