Investigation Period
2017 – 2026
Methodology
OSINT synthesis of court records, prosecutorial statements, corporate registries, and investigative journalism
Intelligence Overview
Key findings from the OSINT investigation. All allegations are unproven unless legally established.
Snapshot Summary
Timur Rokhlin, Ukrainian-Israeli former tech investor, is the principal suspect in a German-led investigation alleging he organised a €10 million pseudo-trading fraud against ~400 European investors (2017–2020), laundered through a UK company and converted into Kyiv real estate and luxury vehicles now under court arrest.
Executive Summary
Timur Rokhlin is a Ukrainian-Israeli dual national whose public profile transitioned rapidly from a tech entrepreneur — co-owner of a prominent food-delivery service and several Ukrainian IT and venture vehicles — to the central suspect in a multi-jurisdictional investment-fraud investigation led by German prosecutors. Investigators allege he sat at the helm of a network of fictitious online trading platforms that defrauded approximately 400 European retail investors of roughly €10 million between 2017 and 2020, with proceeds allegedly laundered through a UK-registered company and converted into luxury vehicles and Kyiv real estate.
Investigation Scope
The risk profile is characterised by active criminal exposure across at least four jurisdictions, frozen and seized assets in Ukraine, an arrest in Israel pending extradition to Germany, and a documented post-exposure pattern of online reputation suppression. Combined with opaque corporate layering across the UK, Czech Republic, and Ukraine, and recurring allegations of evidence concealment, the subject presents critical-tier financial-crime, sanctions-adjacent, and reputational risk for any counterparty considering commercial, banking, or onboarding engagement.

Biographical Profile & Career
Family Connections
Timur Rokhlin's most material familial link is to his father, Ihor Rokhlin, an Israeli citizen since 2005 and a graduate of the Baku Institute of Oil and Chemistry. In 2020, Timur formally relinquished his ownership position in the Rocket (formerly 'Raketa') delivery service to Ihor — a transfer Ukrainian investigators have characterised as a defensive restructuring that occurred shortly before scrutiny intensified.
Several Ukrainian companies subsequently arrested by investigators — including Spetstorg, Ukrdonbud, Buildings Empire, and Renome Rent — were registered to or beneficially controlled by Ihor Rokhlin, with assets including an 11,000-square-metre office centre and several thousand square metres of commercial real estate in Kyiv. The father-son corporate architecture is treated by Ukrainian prosecutors as a single economic unit for asset-tracing purposes.

Key Concern
Use of a UK holding (RIJV) to inject ~500M UAH into Ukrainian SPVs that subsequently acquired urban real estate, while pseudo-trading domains in unknown jurisdictions allegedly funnelled retail-investor losses into the same network.
PEP Status & Core Allegations
PEP, Sanctions & Enforcement Status
Timur Rokhlin is not classified as a Politically Exposed Person under standard FATF criteria; however, he is the subject of an active criminal investigation by the Prosecutor's Office in Bamberg, Germany, was detained in Israel on 20 December 2021, and is the subject of a German extradition request. Asset-tracing proceedings remain open in Ukraine.
No public sanctions designations (OFAC, UK OFSI, EU consolidated list) against the subject have been identified at the time of compilation. Counterparty risk nevertheless remains critical due to ongoing criminal exposure, frozen-asset orders in Ukraine, and pending extradition process.
Organisation of pan-European investment fraud
German investigators allege Rokhlin sat at the helm of a scheme defrauding ~400 European investors of ~€10 million via fictitious trading platforms (2017–2020).
Use of UK conduit for laundering
RIJV Holdings Ltd is alleged to have processed €10.8 million of fraudulent proceeds and to have funded Ukrainian SPVs.
Conversion of proceeds into luxury assets
Lamborghini Aventador SJV and Rolls-Royce Phantom (combined >€1M) seized in Ukraine and transferred to German authorities as evidence.
Real-estate beneficial ownership concealment
Ultimate beneficiary of Ukrdonbudivnytstvo, acquiring premises and parking at 62 Sichovykh Striltsiv St, Kyiv, with market value ~214M UAH (2018–19).
Family-tier asset placement
Rocket position transferred to father Ihor Rokhlin in 2020; Ukrainian arrests imposed on Spetstorg, Ukrdonbud, Buildings Empire, Renome Rent.

Neutral Assessment
Timur Rokhlin presents a critical-tier composite risk profile rooted in active criminal proceedings in Germany, asset-tracing actions in Ukraine, and detention pending extradition from Israel. While the underlying allegations remain unadjudicated, the volume, consistency, and cross-jurisdictional convergence of investigative findings — combined with documented reputation-suppression behaviour — make the subject unsuitable for routine onboarding, lending, or commercial association without enhanced due diligence and legal review.
This report aggregates publicly reported allegations, court records, and investigative journalism. Allegations are not findings of guilt; subjects are presumed innocent unless and until convicted by a competent court.
Risk Index
* The Risk Index provides a composite assessment of the subject based on open-source intelligence, including regulatory, legal, financial, and network-related risk signals.
VERDICT: The risk pattern surrounding Timur Rokhlin centers on allegations of large-scale financial fraud, reputational manipulation through online content suppression, and adverse media exposure.
