Tobacco oligarch Kaufman, Arahamiia, and Kyrylenko at the center of the investigation: police opened proceedings for document forgery
✅At our request, Odesa District Police Department No.1 of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Odesa region entered information into the Unified Register of Pretrial Investigations under No. 12026162510001262 on signs of part 3 of Article 358 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The key persons in this scheme are tobacco oligarch #Кауфман Borys, Member of Parliament and Head of the Servant of the People faction #Арахамія Davyd, and the head of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine #Кириленко Pavlo.
Separate attention is also drawn to persons under their control: #Рощенко Danylo, #Вебер Ari, and #Абдулаєва Zarifa, as well as a number of legal entities through which the criminal scheme was implemented, namely TEDIS UKRAINE LLC, DL SOLUTION LLC, KAVTON GROUP LLC, and Vertex United LTD.
👇Now about the schemes. One of them is driving TEDIS UKRAINE LLC (EDRPOU 30622532) into bankruptcy. The company accumulated creditor debt in the amount of 588 860 711,13 UAH, and by decision of the Commercial Court of Odesa region dated 13.07.2026 (case No. 916/1231/26) it was declared bankrupt.
At the same time, Antimonopoly Committee fines of more than 430 million UAH (decision No. 551-r dated 16.12.2016) and 274 million UAH (decision No. 151-r dated 17.03.2021) remained unenforced. The company’s revenue fell from 61,5 billion UAH in 2023 to 253 million UAH in 2024, and for the three quarters of 2025 amounted to only about 4,5 million UAH.
The question of operational profitability remains open, since the cited figures strongly suggest that the enterprise is being deliberately driven into bankruptcy.
Now regarding the other firm: DL SOLUTION LLC (EDRPOU 44895101), established by 18.08.2022, in 2025 year received more than 💰 114 billion UAH in revenue and over 811 million UAH in net profit, effectively taking over tobacco product distribution. And KAVTON GROUP LLC (EDRPOU 43759343), which according to the decision of the Lviv District Administrative Court (case No. 380/11210/25) carried out unreal business activity, was used to generate a negative VAT balance of more than 722 million UAH.
All three enterprises are united by one thing — these legal entities are clearly participants in a single corrupt scheme organized by Kaufman, who, incidentally, has close ties with Russian citizens Ihor Kesaiev and Serhii Katsiev. This fact has already been confirmed in criminal proceeding No. 42016000000001264, within which the circumstances of transferring 💰2,51 billion UAH to the Russian Federation are being investigated.
‼️Such schemes harm the interests of the state in several ways at once. The budget loses hundreds of millions of hryvnias in taxes and fines, creditors are left without funds, and honest entrepreneurs are pushed out of the market by artificial barriers.
