Step 1: Check the regulators
No court, regulator or enforcement body in any jurisdiction had recorded a proceeding, charge or finding against Alkagesta Ltd as at 28 September 2026. The company had identified no case reference, regulatory notice or enforcement decision of any kind.
Step 2: Check the sanctions lists
As at 8 October 2026, no Alkagesta group entity appeared on OFAC, the EU Consolidated List, the UN Consolidated List, the UK OFSI list or Swiss SECO. The controlling shareholder returned no match. The check is re-run monthly.
Step 3: Check the commercial databases
LSEG World-Check (2 October 2026) and Dow Jones Risk & Compliance (22 June 2026) reports are published.
Step 4: Check the registers
Malta Business Registry (Alkagesta Ltd, C 85915; Alkagesta Holding, C 85914), UK Companies House (15608277, open filing history), GLEIF (LEI 25490072FC8QO7TY0173), ZEFIX and ONRC. Audited accounts since 2018 filed in Malta; ISCC EU and CORSIA certification.
Step 5: Weigh the source of the allegation
The investigation claim traces to one outlet and the sites that reprint it. None has cited a case number. Fake.net.ua lists the network as an “information dump” working to order; the Atlantic Council’s DFRLab recorded that its lead site published “often fabricated accusations” and removed them for a fee. For screening purposes, these domains should be treated as a single, non-authoritative source.
Conclusion
The relevant question is whether any publication provides a primary record. As at the dates above, none did. Orkhan Rustamov, Chief Executive Officer at Alkagesta, and the leadership team provide full KYC and UBO documentation during onboarding; the public disclosure is on the transparency hub.
