📌sources report that the new acting Head of the State Tax Service of Ukraine, Yuriy Konyushenko, has begun actively recruiting allies for “coordinated” work in the new agency
📌in particular, Serhiy Krichfalushi is being considered for his new team
📌according to sources among tax officials, he has long-standing good and friendly relations with Konyushenko, which even give Krichfalushi the leverage to issue an ultimatum that he “is ready to come in only to the Risk Department and establish the ‘right’ kind of work there” 👀
📌information on specialist websites suggests Krichfalushi may have a talent for organizing corrupt schemes and, unlike the new head of the tax service, already has his own team with which he plans to enter the STS and become its “black cardinal” 🥷
📌open sources show that over the last 10 years of his career, Serhiy Krichfalushi has held senior positions (2016-2019 – in the SFS, 2020-2026 – in the Ministry of Finance), received a total income of about 24 million UAH, and his family currently owns substantial assets (cash/movable/immovable property) totaling 60-70 million UAH.
📌 Serhiy Krichfalushi leads a wealthy lifestyle that has already been covered by the media. He uses several cars that he does not declare and lives in Kyiv’s upscale residential complexes, namely: Lvivska Ploshcha Residential Complex and Great Residential Complex, where the average apartment price exceeds 200 thousand USD (Stopkor journalists have already published similar information that his daughter Darya Krichfalushi owns an apartment in the mentioned complex and several real estate properties are registered to Krichfalushi’s wife, Lyudmyla). His elder son works as a secretary, and his daughter-in-law is a consultant at the Civil Cassation Court of the Supreme Court, so registering property in their names is not an option...
📌also, according to informed sources, the rather immodest Ministry of Finance official Krichfalushi is closely connected with Serhiy Penkov, the former first deputy head of the SFS in Dnipropetrovsk region, who is also known for numerous complaints about pressure on business and abuses of office, building shadow schemes for illegal enrichment, protecting conversion centers, etc., which led to his dismissal
📌in addition, sources in law enforcement say that several other influence groups are allegedly forming within the tax service, in particular the Bambizov-Chmeruk group, which plans to return Chmeruk closer to his wife in the position of head of the Central Office of Large Taxpayers with his old team and to lobby for his people to head the other four large taxpayer offices
📌by the way, Chmeruk has long been intent on uniting the large taxpayer offices under one roof, as in Bambizov’s “best” days
📌meanwhile, the Minister of Social Policy, Family and Unity of Ukraine, Denys Ulyutin, is reportedly trying to bring part of the “Kyriienko” team back into the STS
📌it is interesting that the STS is not elastic: key positions are filled by officials who cannot be easily removed without reorganization, threats, or other unpopular methods, so we will be watching how the situation develops…
