Burisma
Burisma's subsidiaries included Esko-Pivnich, Pari, Persha Ukrainska Naftogazova Kompaniya, Naftogaz Garant, KUB-Gas and Astroinvest-Ukraine.[23] Burisma was one of the founders of the International Forum on Energy Security for the Future and partnered with Electric Marathon, as part of efforts to expand into emerging markets.[25][26] During the 2020 United States presidential election, the re-election campaign of President Donald Trump promoted allegations of corruption focused on the relationship between Burisma and Hunter Biden.[3][4] As of 14 October 2019, the members of the board of directors, in order of seniority, are Alan Apter, Aleksander Kwaśniewski, Joseph Cofer Black, Karina Zlochevska, Christina Sofocleous, Riginos Charalampous, and Marina Pericleous.[41][42] In 2017, Joseph Cofer Black, former director of the Counterterrorism Center of the Central Intelligence Agency (1999–2002) in the George W. Bush administration and former Ambassador-at-Large for counter-terrorism (2002–2004), was appointed to the board.[11] In April 2014, the Serious Fraud Office of the United Kingdom launched a money laundering investigation of Zlochevsky's business activities; as a result, accounts of Burisma Holdings and its parent Brociti Investments at the London branch of BNP Paribas—with US$23 million on deposit—were frozen.That money was transferred as a result of complex transactions by a company controlled by a Ukrainian businessman, Serhiy Kurchenko, who was subject to the European Union restrictive measures, i.e.[46] When the Ukrainian prosecutor general's office failed to provide documents needed for the investigation, a British court in January 2015 dropped the case and ordered that the assets be unfrozen.[47] The Ukrainian prosecutor general's office and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) have conducted a total of 15 investigations of Burisma's owner Zlochevsky.[11][30] A criminal investigation was conducted to determine whether natural resources extraction licenses were legally issued to Burisma subsidiaries during the period Zlochevsky held government office.
