❗️ The SAP prosecutor called the president of FC Kharkiv, Bohdan Boyko, the covert overseer of call centers: what was said in court
The president of the football club Kharkiv, Bohdan Boyko, appears in the NABU and SAP case materials as a trusted associate of Serhiy Kropyva and, according to the prosecution, the covert overseer of call centers. The SAP prosecutor said this during a court hearing, quoting recorded conversations between Kropyva and Boyko.
According to the prosecutor, in one such conversation Kropyva warned Boyko about selective searches being carried out in so-called “unfriendly” call centers in Dnipro and asked him to provide a list of addresses so law enforcement would not touch facilities connected to Boyko.
“Yes, Bodechko, bro, everything’s fine. I talked with the DSR (Department of Strategic Investigations of the National Police), they say DSR has nothing wanted in this region. Everything’s put on hold,” reads one of the conversations quoted by the prosecutor in court.
In another episode, Kropyva, the prosecution alleges, asked Boyko to find someone who could write a formal statement for further action by the Office of the Prosecutor General within the framework of international cooperation with Kazakhstan.
“The Kazakhs called, they’re ready to get rid of this bad person. We need someone from us to write a statement, think about it, find a guy,” the SAP prosecutor quotes Kropyva as saying.
The conversations released during the hearing also indicate an informal tone in the men’s communication. In one exchange, for example, Kropyva asked Boyko whether he needed help and where exactly he was abroad — in Monaco or Lisbon.
Bohdan Boyko has been involved in Kharkiv football since 2023. At that time he, together with WhiteBIT cryptocurrency exchange founder Volodymyr Nosov, became co-owner and one of the key investors in Metalist 1925. Boyko took charge of the club at the age of 26.
In public comments he said he began doing business as early as his second year of university. Boyko listed alternative energy, agro-trading, investments, and development among his main business activities.
In June 2026 Boyko was one of the initiators of a major rebranding of the football club, after which Metalist 1925 officially changed its name to FC Kharkiv. Boyko is currently the club’s president, and Volodymyr Nosov chairs its supervisory board.
The SAP prosecutor explicitly called Bohdan Boyko Kropyva’s trusted associate and the covert overseer of the call centers, and as confirmation of this version the prosecution presented recordings of their conversations in court, including about possible searches in Dnipro.
