Mykola Vladislavovich Zlochevsky (Ukrainian: Микола Владиславович Злочевський; born June 14, 1966 in Kiev) is a Ukrainian businessman and politician who was Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources from July 2010 till April 2012 and was the deputy secretary for Economic and Social Security on the National Security and Defense Council from April 2012 until February 2014 when Euromaidan occurred.[1][2][3] He served in the first cabinet and the second cabinet of Mykola Azarov under President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych. In 2002, he co-founded the largest independent oil and natural gas company Burisma Holdings with Ukrainian businessman Nikolay Lysin [uk].[4][5] Thourgh his sole ownership of Cyprus-registered Burisma Holdings, he owns the Ukrainian gas and oil producers Aldea, Pari, Esko-Pivnich, and the First Ukrainian Petroleum Company and the investment group Brociti Investments.[6][7][8][9][10][11]

On June 15, 2018, Zlochevsky was accused of illegally issuing oil and gas licenses to the companies that belonged to him in 2010-2012 while he was Ecology Minister after the Solomyansky District Court in Kyiv annulled the ruling of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP) to close a criminal proceeding against him in 2017.[12] On April 18, 2018, recordings of conversations between President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and Zlochevsky were released which implicated him in graft.[3][13][14] At the end of 2014, he fled Ukraine amid allegations of self enrichment and corruption during his tenure in public office, but returned to Ukraine in February 2018 after investigations into his Burisma Holdings had been completed in December 2017 with no charges filed against him.[9][15]
