Oleksandr Yanukovych

[ . . . ]
Yanukovych graduated from the Donetsk National University as a dentist[1] but since 2006 he leads a company named Management Assets Company (MAKO).[2] MAKO owns construction companies that built business centres and shopping malls in Donetsk, a hotel in Balaklava (Crimea) and some banks.[2] Various Ukrainian press have suggested people close to Oleksandr have landed some of Ukraine’s most important positions including top government positions.[2][2][4][5][6][7] His father Viktor Yanukovych, through his press service, has denied that he appoints individuals to top government positions based on their personal loyalty and closeness to his family rather than qualifications.[8] Also Yanukovych's organization is alleged of performing over 70 so called "raid seizures" - when with a help of corrupt government officials - a certain organization seizes a property (usually a small business) under a fabricated justification.[9]

In early 2014, his personal assets were claimed to be over $500 million.[14]
