630 million hryvnias in cash, hideouts, stash spots, and even a special access system to rough accounting.
This is reported by Vykryvač.
BEE, together with the Office of the Prosecutor General, conducted more than 30 searches in 16 regions of Ukraine and seized more than 630 million UAH in cash in various currencies. According to the Bureau, this is the largest cash seizure in the history of the agency.
The BEE brand itself has not been officially named yet, but sources of Vykryvach in law enforcement claim that this concerns the KIT Group network.
According to the investigation, tens of billions of hryvnias per year could have passed through the network — currency exchange, money transfers within Ukraine and abroad, cryptocurrency operations, and other financial transactions.
According to sources, storage hideouts were arranged for funds, and special mechanisms for concealing financial accounting were used.
At the center of attention is Anton Tkachenko, director and owner of Liberty F LLC (formerly FK Liberty Finance). The National Bank of Ukraine previously indicated him as the ultimate beneficiary of the company and the owner of the KIT Group trademark.
Also in the structure of the companies are: — Lyudmila Tkachenko — owner and beneficiary of KIT Group LLC; — Oleksandr Vashchenko — director of KIT Group LLC; — Ivan Tkachenko — director of Pawnshop KIT Group Plus; — Maksym Sakhno — director of KIT-Finance LLC.
According to Vykryvach, problems around this financial group began not yesterday.
In 2025 year, the NBU prohibited Liberty Finance and related persons 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 did not agree with the decision and is appealing it in court.
Separately in materials of another criminal case, companies KIT Group, Liberty Finance, and KIT-Finance were mentioned. The investigation examined possible use of crypto wallets and conversion of virtual assets into cash.
At the same time, importantly: this is the prosecution’s position. There are no court decisions in open materials establishing the guilt of Anton Tkachenko or the mentioned companies.
Previously, law enforcement already conducted searches at a money exchange point connected with the KIT Group network. At that time, about 9 million UAH were seized 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 close scrutiny of regulators and law enforcement.
