NABU and SAP released a new series of recordings of Mudra/Mykitas, Stolar regarding raiding and money laundering.
The activities of the criminal organization were carried out on the basis of a “notarial agreement” and were aimed at seizing high‑value real estate and other assets of legal entities by unauthorized interference with the operation of the information (automated) networks of the Ministry of Justice, forging court decisions, and falsifying ownership documents.
In the fall of 2025 the members of the criminal organization carried out a raider takeover of two enterprises whose assets were worth 248 million UAH.
At the same time, the purpose of seizing one of these enterprises was to gain control of real estate in central Kyiv valued at more than 500 million UAH.
In addition, in May 2026 members of the criminal organization attempted to seize real estate in Kyiv worth more than 207 million UAH, but due to circumstances beyond their control they were unable to complete the crime.
NABU reports that an organized group made up of members of the criminal organization prepared an unlawful imprisonment and kidnapping of a person in order to gain control over a business entity. The crime was averted in time.
Also, as reported by Transparency International Ukraine, the SAP prosecutor outlined the roles of the figures in operation “Themis” during the consideration of the preventive measure for Mykitas.
He is suspected of forming and leading a criminal organization, two episodes of raiding, preparing to seize property, and laundering funds to pay bail for the former ministers of energy and justice, Herman Halushchenko.
The SAP prosecutor presented the prosecution’s version regarding the composition of the criminal organization, the people involved, their roles, and those who interacted with it.
The criminal organization itself was created by Maksym Mykitas and Vadym Stolar no later than 15 November 2024 – this is evidenced by the “notarial agreement.”
It included:
Iryna Mudra, deputy head of the Office of the President. She, in particular, influenced Olena Ferens regarding the activities of the Ministry of Justice’s anti‑raider commission;
Viktor Dubovyk, director general of the Directorate for Legal Policy of the Office of the President. He provided advice and instructions on how best to act within the anti‑raider commission – based on his experience;
Vasyl Astion, former deputy of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council, who was responsible for the judicial support of all decisions so that courts would rule in the interests of the participants;
Valentyn Yelizarov, the de facto head of the company Metrobud. He coordinated the operational activities of the criminal organization, gave instructions to persons serving as nominal directors, found people on whom companies could be registered, and was responsible for the legalization of funds in June 2026.
Separately, the criminal organization involved persons who were not its members. These include Mykyta Tarkovsky – the head of a number of enterprises controlled by Mykitas; Yehor Myerkulov – Mykitas’s driver; and the bodyguard of former MP Oleksandr Ostapenko, who were nominal directors of LLCs.
In June 2026 members of the criminal organization, namely Mykitas and Mudra, engaged with Mykola Hladyshchenko, Oleksii Stupak, and Liudmyla Snihur from Sense Bank, who provided assistance in legalizing funds.
This criminal organization also controlled currently unidentified individuals – hackers who interfered with the operation of the real estate registry – and legal entities, as well as representatives of law enforcement and judicial bodies.
