⬆️ The investigation believes that this money was intended to be distributed among the scheme’s participants. All suspects are charged under part 3 of article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
And all of this — in a profession that today literally supports the agricultural sector. During the war there is an acute shortage of labor. Women are genuinely learning to drive tractors because some men are fighting, and it’s increasingly difficult to find specialists in villages.
According to the investigation’s version, instead of real training there were payments, formalities, and a “successful” exam without proper verification.
The shame is that in the country’s hardest times these crooks didn’t help people obtain the necessary profession — they turned that need into a cash register and a source of profit. Profiting during wartime from people who want to work and support the country is looting.
According to my sources, this scheme operates across the country under the “protection” of the State Service for Food Safety and Consumer Protection. So it’s not just one training center or one region — the entire vertical needs to be checked, from local administrations to central leadership.
This criminal scheme is another source of income for the Gamaliya Mafia clan — alongside fraudulent call centers and pseudo-charity auctions I wrote about earlier.
Fraudulent call centers and pseudo-charity auctions: criminal proceedings have already been opened — the investigation is ongoing.
Deputy head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Military Administration Vladyslav Falyush already has a suspicion in the case of an alleged 5% “kickback” from road contracts. The investigation is ongoing.
Now Volodymyr Bilyk is behind bars in the case of a corruption scheme involving tractor driver training.
And here we have another name — Serhiy Tkachuk, the current head of the State Service for Food Safety and Consumer Protection of Ukraine. He now heads the system in which Bilyk worked. Tkachuk is an appointee of Serhiy Gamaliya: before moving to Kyiv he worked for years as his deputy in the Khmelnytskyi Regional State Administration, and later remained in the position under Serhiy Tyurin.
Tkachuk, Bilyk, Falyush, and Tyurin are people of Serhiy Gamaliya’s single vertical.
Call centers — criminal proceedings. Falyush — suspicion. Bilyk — pretrial detention. Now the question is: how many more people from this system must become suspects in criminal cases for law enforcement to finally stop seeing isolated episodes and look at the entire vertical of the Gamaliya Mafia clan as a whole?
