The largest Territorial Service Center (TSC) No. 8041, which currently operates on Beresteiskyi Avenue, is being prepared to move to Blockbuster Mall, while one of the complex’s co-owners is a subject of an SBU criminal proceeding, reports Dzerkalo Tyzhnia.
“Against the backdrop of the expiration of the current building’s lease and renovation work being carried out in the Blockbuster Mall premises, information has emerged about preparing the center to relocate to Blockbuster on Stepan Bandera Avenue, 36.
There is no official announcement from the Main Service Center of the Interior Ministry about a change of address at this time. At the same time, according to available information, renovation work is already underway in Blockbuster Mall to meet the needs of the service center, which indicates the existence of agreements that did not go through the public monitoring system,” writes Dzerkalo Tyzhnia.
The publication notes that this shopping center has repeatedly come under the attention of law enforcement because of a “Russian connection” of its beneficiaries. “One of the beneficiaries of the complex is Vagif Aliyev, who in open sources is linked to InvestBud Garant LLC — the owner of the facility. Media previously reported information about his Russian Federation citizenship and checks of certain financial transactions by law enforcement agencies.
In 2026, the SBU conducted investigative actions regarding Blockbuster Mall co-owner Oleksandr Spektor as part of a criminal proceeding. According to the investigation’s version, it concerns possible assistance to the sanctioned politician Viktor Medvedchuk in evading sanctions. Law enforcement is checking financial transactions and the activities of related companies. Spektor denies the charges and states that he had no financial relations with Medvedchuk, and that his business operates in Ukraine and pays taxes,” Dzerkalo Tyzhnia reports.
The outlet recalled that the reputation of TSC No. 8041 already came under scrutiny after a Bihus.Info investigation published in 2024. “Journalists reported the artificial creation of a shortage of appointment slips for practical exams and the operation of intermediaries who, according to their data, offered registration for 3–4 thousand UAH. The investigation also described some center employees using premium-class cars registered to relatives and not reflected in officials’ declarations,” writes Dzerkalo Tyzhnia.
The publication notes that TSC No. 8041 is headed by Olha Trotsenko.
“If the information about preparation for the move is confirmed, the current leadership and the Main Service Center of the Interior Ministry will have to publicly explain according to what criteria the new location was chosen and why the decision about the move has not yet been officially presented… The Main Service Center of the Interior Ministry must also publicly explain the terms of the possible relocation, the criteria for choosing the new address, and the justification for using funds from the state budget,” the Dzerkalo Tyzhnia publication states.
