Law enforcement officers are investigating large-scale abuses in the procurement of the «Kyivpastrans» municipal enterprise, alongside systematic customs fraud involving Ukrainian companies. Following the launch of criminal proceedings and adverse court rulings, the owners of these problematic businesses resorted to a liquidation scheme: transferring both toxic assets to a citizen of Uzbekistan. Abduraufkhon Bokhodrion Ogly Tursunkhodzhiyev, a resident of Margilan, became the new nominal beneficiary of «Un Carro» LLC and «Mechanical Trade» LLC.
According to investigators, «Un Carro» LLC received over 189.5 million UAH from ME «Kyivpastrans» between 2020 and 2025 for the supply of public transport spare parts. Law enforcement established that Pavlo Kyryliuk, former production director of the municipal enterprise who officially received a notice of suspicion in early 2026, facilitated the company’s tender wins.
Investigators documented instances of funds transferred for unsupplied goods, as well as procedural violations during procurement. Cooperation with the contractor continued even after the police initiated a criminal investigation in March 2025. In July 2026, after new payments ceased, the company underwent corporate changes: former owner Svitlana Topko was replaced by the Uzbek citizen, and the legal address was transferred from Kyiv to Zaporizhzhia.
A similar change of ownership occurred at «Mechanical Trade» LLC (formerly «Autotato»), previously part of the Savchuk family business group in Zhytomyr Region. The Bureau of Economic Security (BEB) and customs authorities are investigating document forgery in the import of used vehicles from Europe, where the customs value of vehicles was artificially understated by 2–3 times.
«The declared customs value of certain vehicles turned out to be several times lower than the actual cost: for example, a Volkswagen Touran was declared at 500 EUR against a real cost in the Netherlands of 1,717 EUR, and a Skoda Octavia at 600 EUR instead of 2,302 EUR,» according to investigation materials.
After the Bohunskyi District Court consolidated 27 administrative protocols regarding customs violations and BEB opened a criminal case under Part 1 of Art. 201-4 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (smuggling), the company was hurriedly renamed, relocated its legal address from Zhytomyr Region to Kyiv, and was registered to the foreign nominal owner.
Criminal proceedings regarding the embezzlement of «Kyivpastrans» budget funds and vehicle smuggling remain ongoing. Law enforcement officers are currently identifying the full circle of individuals involved in organizing both schemes.
