AMCU allows S.T.A.L.K.E.R. owner Max Krippa to buy Parus skyscraper

Ukrainian businessman Maxim Krippa, also known as the owner of the company that develops the cult game S.T.A.L.K.E.R., has turned his attention to the Parus skyscraper. The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine confirmed his plans by granting permission to conclude an agreement on the acquisition of Parus Holding LLC by his company Ola Fine LLC.

This was reported by the AMCU press service on November 30.

According to a YouControl source, Ola Fine LLC is affiliated with the ARS Capital fund, headed by Maxim Krippa. The acquisition of the company will allow him to gain control over the Parus business center, located in the heart of the Ukrainian capital.

Until now, 80% of the shares in Parus Holding LLC were owned by businessman Vadym Stolar through his Genesis fund, and the remaining 20% were owned by his ex-wife, Inna Maistruk, through the Stream Investment fund. However, the situation may now change due to Maxim Krippa's ambitious plans.
