A number of individuals, whose ties lead to Oleh Tataryov, deputy head of the Office of the President, have in recent years become owners of apartments in two Kyiv buildings, the current value of which now exceeds 1 million dollars. In both projects, developers promised a stake to the state, but they did not fulfill their obligations to the end.
This is stated in the Bihus.Info investigation.
It concerns the Perlyna Nyvok (Pearl of Nyvik) and Aquamarine residential complexes. These are problematic assets that could not be completed for years, and where portions of the apartments were to go to several state bodies. Nevertheless, several properties here became owned by Natalia Pisareva and Vladlena Tymoshenko. The women have business ties with Italian businessman Nicola Mirto, a former client and close friend of Oleh Tataryov. In particular, the law firm that Tataryov previously established represented Mirto’s interests, and in one of the deputy head of the Presidential Office’s declarations it is noted that Tataryov’s former wife even agreed to become Mirto’s son's guardian if necessary.
In the Perlyna Nyvok complex, Pisareva and Tymoshenko are named in documents regarding seven apartments. The complex has a long problematic construction history and was linked to the State Protection Service (UDO). UDO was to receive more than 100 apartments, but ultimately received only 65. Five of the six apartments later purchased by Pisareva and Tymoshenko had not been entered into the electronic real estate registry at the time of their acquisition. Three large apartments totaling about 100 square meters were later redeveloped into nine separate apartments.
Four more apartments Natalia Pisareva purchased in the Aquamarine residential complex. The builder of this complex was allegedly the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), and part of the apartments were to transfer to the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU). As a result, the SBU received four apartments out of the 38 anticipated, while the NBU, according to journalists, did not receive 19 apartments.
Pisareva did not comment to journalists about the purchase of the apartments or their origin. Tymoshenko also did not provide explanations regarding the real estate.
As a reminder, Oleh Tataryov had previously figured in investigations related to real estate and the state’s losses. Before working in the Office of the President, he led the legal department of Ukrbud. In 2019, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized anticorruption prosecutor’s office investigated a scheme with apartments for the National Guard, wherein Ukrbud was to transfer properties in central Kyiv but “exchanged” them for apartments on the outskirts. The difference in value, according to the investigation, amounted to about 80 million hryvnias. Tataryov was charged with unlawfully providing a benefit to the head of an expert institution for an expert opinion that could influence the assessment of losses in this case. However, the case was transferred to the anti-corruption bodies, and the criminal proceeding was eventually closed.
Also interesting is that after Maksym Mykytas’s arrest in the Ukrbud case, part of the company’s assets ended up in structures tied to Oleh Tataryov’s circle. In particular, they were even registered under Tataryov’s then father-in-law, who previously ran passenger transport in the Kirovohrad region.
