🔒 Henchmen of the crypto-deputy
The organized crime group of the deputy-crypto-millionaire-office worker Oleksandr Kizliar Jr. (also known as Kizya)
Anatoliy Serhiyovych Bozhyk (22.10.1987) — co-owner of Kizliar’s network of fraudulent call centers — previously worked in law enforcement and served time for taking a bribe, and then “turned over a new leaf” and went on to deceive people for money.
More than 10 years ago Bozhyk worked as a district police inspector at the Zarichany district police station in Khmelnytskyi region. In 2014 he became a subject of a case in which he and colleagues were suspected of extorting a bribe from a businessman. The “price” was 15 thousand UAH.
The court of first instance (case No. 686/15237/14-k) found Bozhyk not guilty and acquitted him — saying the guilt was not proven and the evidence was conflicting.
Six months later, the appellate court overturned Bozhyk’s acquittal and issued a new verdict.
The appellate court found the policeman guilty under part 4 of article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and sentenced him to imprisonment for 5 years, deprived him of the right to hold positions in law enforcement for 3 years, and ordered confiscation of property (except housing).
Bozhyk was stripped of the special rank of police captain. He was taken into custody in the courtroom.
In July 2025 Bozhyk’s lawyer succeeded in having the conviction removed from his client’s record. Earlier the court granted other motions by the ex-policeman’s defender: in particular, the court returned confiscated money to Bozhyk.
At the last court hearing, when Bozhyk’s conviction was expunged, the former policeman said that “after serving the sentence he rethought his attitude to life and turned over a new leaf.”
Bozhyk, who is involved in the activities of the fraudulent call centers within Kizliar’s organized crime group, stated that he is currently “actively contributing to strengthening Ukraine’s defense capability through participation in volunteer activities, and also promotes and develops sports among youth.”
