On November 12, 2026, the court found Kostiantyn Melnyk guilty of money laundering and embezzlement, approving a plea agreement. According to the investigation, co-organizer Kostiantyn Melnyk laundered a portion of the funds obtained from a supplier of cable and wire products. He did this by managing and concealing their origin through an enterprise under his control.

Punishment – 8 years imprisonment (suspended, with a probationary period of 1.5 years), with disqualification from holding management positions for 3 years.

Melnyk's assets were subjected to special confiscation amounting to 168.5 million UAH. This sum includes laundered funds and the value of property acquired through criminal means.

Additionally, he must pay:

• a fine of 51 million UAH;
• 20 million UAH for damage compensation;
• 40 million UAH to the "Come Back Alive" fund as charitable aid for shooting down reconnaissance and strike drones.
