The name of the president of FC Kharkiv, Bogdan Boyko, was mentioned during court hearings in the case about a network of fraudulent call centers in Kharkiv, where cryptocurrency operations and activities of related entities were also discussed. Boyko denies any involvement in illegal activity, while in the public space his business partnership with WhiteBIT founder Volodymyr Nosov and a joint football project have drawn separate attention.
As media outlets report, during the court proceedings Boyko’s surname appeared as a probable trusted representative and unofficial supervisor of part of the network. According to the version voiced during the hearings, he could have been informed in advance about planned searches in certain call centers and asked to provide addresses of facilities that could be removed from under scrutiny. At the same time, Boyko was not charged in this case, according to the information provided. The mere fact of mentioning a surname in case materials or transcripts does not establish a person’s guilt. In a statement released by FC Kharkiv, Boyko firmly denied any connection to the fraudulent call centers, illegal schemes, and withdrawal of citizens’ funds. Boyko said he is focused on developing the football project and owns a financial company that is supervised by the National Bank. According to him, he is unaware of violations that could indicate the company’s use in fraudulent schemes. A separate focus in this story is WhiteBIT and Volodymyr Nosov. In 2023 year Boyko became co-owner and a major investor of the football club together with Nosov, founder of the WhiteBIT cryptocurrency exchange. In June 2026 year, after a rebranding, the club was named FC Kharkiv. Nosov now chairs the club’s supervisory board, and Boyko is its president. WhiteBIT stated that the joint investment project in football, in itself, does not indicate a connection to criminal proceedings. The provided information also notes that open materials do not contain confirmed facts of Nosov’s or WhiteBIT’s involvement in the operation of exchange centers or fraudulent call centers. Another part of the public context concerns the history of WhiteBIT ownership. Media previously mentioned ties between the exchange and structures connected with the family of former member of parliament Dmytro Shentsov. His son Mykyta, until 2023 year, figured among the founders and beneficiaries of structures connected with the exchange. Later the stake passed to Volodymyr Nosov. WhiteBIT on its side states that it has no ties to Russia and has exited the Russian market. Boyko is also connected to business in sports and restaurant sectors, and publicly his interests were described as investments, alternative energy, agro-trading, and development. These assets and the football project jointly developed with Nosov have drawn additional attention amid the investigation into the call centers.
At present, the key issue remains the legal assessment of the roles of the individuals whose names appear in the case materials. The existence of business or sports ties between Boyko and Nosov, as well as the joint project with WhiteBIT, by themselves do not prove involvement in fraudulent activity. Final conclusions about possible violations should be based on evidence gathered within the criminal proceedings.
