🔈 The company founded by former Justice Ministry employee Serhiy Pavlenko received almost one and a half billion hryvnias in government contracts. When its activities came under the attention of the State Bureau of Economic Security (SBE), the company was renamed, “moved” to Zaporizhia, and re-registered to a citizen of Tajikistan.
Pavlenko and former NPU investigator Vitaliy Sheverun created a network of contracting companies (including "TEP-Capital." and "TEP Capital") that over several years won government tenders totaling more than 1,4 billion UAH. At least about 195 million UAH were transferred to accounts of related companies "Building Set" and "Building Set Trade," which had minimal staff and used the same IP addresses as the contractor for tax reporting, the SBE established.
The office of "TEP-Capital." was opened in Kyiv on Yaltynska St., 5-b at a mass registration address with 977 companies, and the warehouse was rented from sole proprietor Sheverun Yuliya Olehivna – Vitaliy Sheverun’s wife.
The main figures in the investigation are Serhiy Pavlenko, Vitaliy Sheverun (owner of the companies "Building Set" and "Building Set Trade") and the nominal owner Karimi Asolat Ismatzoda. The city SBE department is investigating the company’s activities. During a search of one of the premises, law enforcement officers found 24 seals, including those of the companies "Building Set" and "Building Set Trade."
To the accounts of these related entities TOV "TEP-Capital." transferred tens of millions of hryvnias: 129,1 million UAH to TOV "Building Set" (a firm with two employees that tax authorities consider a high-risk taxpayer) and 66,5 million UAH to TOV "Building Set Trade" (with one employee).
In total, about 195 million UAH were funneled into the accounts of related firms. Case materials state that for filing reports TOV "TEP-Capital.", "Building Set" and "Building Set Trade" used the same IP addresses.
When problems arose with the SBE and lawsuits with partners such as "Oxi Bank" and "Ukrposhta," the company was effectively buried. In April of 2026, "TEP-Capital." was renamed "Promilex," the firm moved to Zaporizhia, and the new owner and director became Tajik citizen Karimi Asolat Ismatzoda, on whom 236 companies have already been registered in Ukraine.
Using a similar scheme, "Building Set" was also re-registered to Ismatzoda in April of 2026, while "Building Set Trade" was re-registered in March of 2026 to 27-year-old Andriy Sosonny, on whom over 500 companies are registered across the country.
Even before Vitaliy Sheverun finally re-registered the old company to the Tajik, the partners created a new entity without the period and hyphen in the name – TOV "TEP Capital", registered in March of 2025.
For some time the two firms operated in parallel; the new firm also rented a warehouse from Yuliya Sheverun under an identical contract, and rented its office from "Building Set." Over one and a half years the newly created firm won tenders worth 940 million UAH, using the same connections and offices to avoid liability for unfulfilled contracts.
The new company "Tep Capital" received the largest amount from the Education Department of the Solomianskyi District Council of Kyiv – 464,7 million UAH. In particular, 240 million UAH were allocated for the reconstruction of the gymnasium on General Tupikov Street, and 27 for a kindergarten.
However, it is quite likely that Pavlenko and Sheverun "reborn" their companies under new names but with the same offices and warehouses, with the sole purpose of shedding excessive attention from law enforcement and avoiding liability for unfulfilled contract terms. And old clients, such as "Ukrposhta," are forced to litigate with a company that now officially belongs to a Tajik. And the citizen of Tajikistan, apparently, does not intend to comply with Ukrainian court decisions.
