BEB announced the largest cash seizure in history: over 630 million hryvnias in various currencies
630 million hryvnias in cash, hidden stashes, secret caches, and even a special system for accessing draft accounting.
This is reported by Vikryvach.
BEB, together with the Office of the Prosecutor General, conducted more than 30 searches in 16 regions of Ukraine and seized over 630 million UAH in cash in various currencies. According to the Bureau, this is the largest cash seizure in the agency’s history.
The BEB brand itself has not officially named it yet, but Vikryvach’s sources in law enforcement claim it concerns the KIT Group network.
According to the investigation, tens of billions of hryvnias could pass through the network annually — currency exchange, money transfers within Ukraine and abroad, cryptocurrency operations, and other financial transactions.
According to sources, for storing funds they arranged hidden compartments and also used special mechanisms to conceal financial accounting.
At the center of attention is Anton Tkachenko, director and owner of LLC “LIBERTI F” (formerly FC “Liberti Financial”). The NBU previously pointed to him as the ultimate beneficiary of the company and owner of the KIT Group brand.
Also in the company structure are:— Liudmyla Tkachenko — owner and beneficiary of LLC “KIT GROUP”;— Oleksandr Vaschenko — director of LLC “KIT GROUP”;— Ivan Tkachenko — director of PT “Kit Group Plus Pawnshop”;— Maksym Sakhno — director of LLC “KIT-FINANCE.”
According to Vikryvach, problems around this financial group did not start yesterday.
In 2025 year the NBU barred “Liberti Finance” and related individuals from providing certain payment services through KIT Group without the appropriate license.
In 2026 year the National Bank revoked the company’s license for cash currency operations and lending. The company disagreed with the decision and is appealing it in court.
Separately in documents of another criminal case there were mentions of the companies “KIT Group,” “Liberti Finance,” and “KIT-Finance.” The investigation examined possible use of crypto wallets and conversion of virtual assets into cash.
At the same time it is important: this is the prosecution’s position. There are no court decisions in open materials establishing guilt of Anton Tkachenko or the mentioned companies.
Earlier law enforcement already conducted searches at an exchange point connected with the KIT Group network. Then they seized about 9 million UAH in various currencies.
Now the scale is different.
Not 9 million.
630 million.
And the main question now is not only the origin of these funds, but also how a financial network with such volumes operated for years under the close scrutiny of regulators and law enforcement.
