BEB conducted searches at Konstantyn Tkach’s HERTS group of companies in a tax evasion case
The Economic Security Bureau, together with the Office of the Prosecutor General, conducted searches at the Odesa office of the HERTS group of companies, associated with businessmen Konstantyn Tkach and his partner Besedovskyi. The investigative actions are taking place as part of a criminal proceeding on tax evasion.
This is reported by investigators.
15 July BEB together with the Office of the Prosecutor General conducted searches at the building at 2A Yevreiska Street in Odesa — the main office of the group of companies of Konstantyn Tkach and his partner Besedovskyi, which includes PE LLC AVERS, LLC HERTS and LLC FC HERTS.
The basis was a criminal proceeding under part 2 of article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional evasion of taxes on a large scale), in which LLC Yugtrans-Terminal is involved, the founder of which is PE LLC Avers.
This is not the first criminal proceeding regarding the HERTS group — at least the fourth. Below is a list of all cases found in open sources against Tkach’s structures.
Case No. 32021100000000389 (August 2021) — closed State Fiscal Service of Kyiv — art. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (counterparties are “fake” companies)
Case No.72022000110000023 (2022) — ongoing BEB — art. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (volume of “fake” transactions 2020–2021 with PE Ekostroygrad, LLC Svetstroy, PE Teikit)
Case No.420261600000000020 (2026) Prosecutor’s Office — art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (catering in Odesa schools and medical institutions; LLC Fabryka Smaku)
The HERTS group has consistently appeared in tax proceedings since 2021, where the same elements repeat: “fake” counterparties (PE Teikit, LLC Svetstroy, PE Ekostroygrad), inflated VAT input tax credits (from 27,5 million UAH in the 2022 case to 38,8 million UAH in the 2026 case), searches with loss of some seized documents, as well as public company denials citing formal details (“not with us, but in a subsidiary”).
During the first seven years of operation of FC HERTS (since 2015) the National Bank of Ukraine imposed only one sanction — for a formal delay in reporting for January 2024 (Opendatabot). Regulatorily, the group remains in a “gray zone”: the license is active, payments go through, and searches continue — and these facts are not linked together.
