Contracts of Kyivpastrans and customs schemes: problematic companies transferred to an Uzbek
Two companies that feature in criminal and customs cases received a new owner this summer — a resident of Margilan, Uzbekistan. This concerns Un Carro, which for years received multimillion-hryvnia contracts from Kyivpastrans, and Avtotato, which after customs claims and the opening of a criminal case was renamed Mechanical Trade.
The new formal owner of both assets became Tursunkhodzhiev Abduraufkhon Bohodrion Ogli. The changes took place after the companies came under the scrutiny of law enforcement and courts.
Un Carro and 189,5 mln UAH from Kyivpastrans
Until 1 July, Un Carro belonged to Svitlana Topko. During her leadership the company actively cooperated with the municipal enterprise Kyivpastrans. The investigation believes that the company’s interests were facilitated by the enterprise’s then-production director Pavlo Kyryliuk.
One of the episodes concerns a procurement announced on 12 September 2023. The tender’s estimated cost was 4,3 mln UAH. According to investigators, the documentation deliberately omitted technical specifications of the goods, which could have limited competition.
The open tender ultimately did not take place, after which Kyivpastrans concluded a direct contract with Un Carro. The justification cited was martial law. A few months later the contract value was increased by another 800 thousand UAH.
Law enforcement claims that the money was paid for goods that were not actually delivered. An expert examination assessed the damage to the Kyiv community at least 146 thousand UAH.
However, this contract was only one episode of the cooperation. In 2020–2025 years Un Carro received from Kyivpastrans more than 189,5 mln UAH. The company supplied various spare parts and equipment — from bearings and brake pads to electrical equipment for MAZ buses.
On 19 March 2025 the police opened a criminal proceeding regarding possible abuses. Despite this, the enterprise’s cooperation with Un Carro continued.
In March the company won 3 tenders totaling 23,1 mln UAH. In April it received another 2 procurements worth 7,97 mln UAH, and in May concluded agreements for more than 10 mln UAH.
Notable was the procurement UA-2025-05-20-005645-a. Competitors Promaviapidshypnyk and Avtoshyny-Prozoro lowered the starting price from 6,7 mln to about 3,9 mln UAH. Un Carro ultimately won with a difference of only 1 UAH.
At the same time the company did not provide the mandatory expert opinion from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry or Derzhzovnishinform regarding price levels. Kyivpastrans did not reject the proposal, allowed the participant to additionally upload the certificate, and recognized it as the winner.
New contracts for Un Carro ceased from mid-2025 when the investigation began to develop actively.
Pavlo Kyryliuk left his position in 2024. At the beginning of 2026 he was notified of suspicion.
And already in July 2026 the owner of Un Carro changed. Instead of Svitlana Topko, the company was registered to the citizen of Uzbekistan Tursunkhodzhiev Abduraufkhon Bohodrion Ogli. At the same time the company’s legal address was changed from the capital to Zaporizhia.
Avtotato transformed into Mechanical Trade
The second business that ended up with Tursunkhodzhiev previously bore the name Avtotato. On 18 June the company passed to the new owner and was later renamed Mechanical Trade.
Before that Avtotato was linked to the Savchuk family. The founder and beneficiary was Stanislav Savchuk — son of Serhiy Savchuk, who is called the “gray cardinal” of Zhytomyr region.
According to the provided data, Serhiy Savchuk created a network of companies registered to relatives. It included businesses in the agricultural sector, the fuel business — including Oil-Resource, dairy production — Biskvito-Milk, and also the construction sector. Avtotato was the automotive-fuel arm of this group.
Problems for the company arose because of the import of used cars from Europe. The State Bureau of Economic Security and customs authorities investigated possible falsification of documents and undervaluation of cars for customs purposes.
In particular, a Skoda Octavia was valued in Ukrainian documents at 600 euros, while Swedish data showed its value at 2302 euros.
A Volkswagen Touran was declared at 500 euros. Dutch documents indicated a price of 1717 euros.
A Mazda CX-5 was assessed by customs at 3000 euros instead of 7762 euros.
Separately, law enforcement examined the case of a Volvo XC60. In Ukraine the car was declared at 15 thousand euros, while the Polish invoice contained the amount 25,8 thousand euros.
According to the case materials, the budget thus lost more than 141 thousand UAH in customs payments and VAT.
The Bohunskyi District Court fined the manager 527,2 thousand UAH and ordered the vehicle confiscated to the state. The fine amount was 4 times greater than the company’s profit.
As of June the court consolidated 27 administrative protocols regarding Avtotato’s customs violations. Appellate courts in some cases canceled ordinary fines and referred materials to the State Bureau of Economic Security.
In addition, a criminal proceeding was opened under part 1 of article 201-4 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — smuggling.
After that Avtotato changed its name to Mechanical Trade. The company was also moved from the village of Veresy in Zhytomyr region to Kyiv — to Bohdan Havrylyshyn Street, 7.
Ultimately the owner of the enterprise became Tursunkhodzhiev Abduraufkhon Bohodrion Ogli. Thus, after the emergence of criminal and customs claims, both companies ended up under the control of one citizen of Uzbekistan.
