Oleksii Dniprov and Tabachnyk’s schemes: the former deputy head of the OPP laundered money of Ukrvidav-Poligrafiya through a business partner and luxurious Porsches
Oleksii Dniprov, rector of the Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture and president of the Ukrainian padel federation, found himself in the informational context of a criminal case by the State Bureau of Investigation regarding possible misappropriation of funds of the state Ukrvidav-Poligrafiya.
According to court decisions, investigators are checking a probable scheme of moving about 8 million UAH per month through rental of state property, private companies, and cash transactions. One of the figures in journalistic publications about this case is Vasyl Produn — vice president of the federation led by Dniprov.
Criminal proceeding No. 62025000000000588 was opened on 13 June 2025 year, media outlets report. It investigates possible violations under part 5 article of part 191, part 2 article 364 and part 3 article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It concerns probable appropriation or embezzlement of property, abuse of power or official position, and legalization of property obtained by criminal means. The existence of proceedings does not prove the guilt of the mentioned individuals.
Interest in Oleksii Dniprov is also connected with his career after working in the Ministry of Education and Science under Dmytro Tabachnyk. In March 2016 year the then director of the department for cleansing of power at the Ministry of Justice, Tetyana Kozachenko, stated that Dniprov was subject to the Law on Lustration. However, the head of the National Agency of Ukraine on Public Service Kostyantyn Vashchenko sent to the Administration of the President of Petro Poroshenko an explanation about the difference between the positions of 'deputy minister' and 'deputy minister — head of the apparatus'. The latter title, according to this explanation, was not on the list of posts subject to lustration. This story was previously covered by Schemes project journalists.
After that, Oleksii Dniprov continued to work in government positions: headed the presidential administration apparatus, and later the Office of the President, and was deputy head of the Office of the President under Andriy Yermak. 29 On March 2024 year President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Dniprov from this post. 13 June of the same year Dniprov won the election for rector of the Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture, gaining 72,7% of the votes.
According to court materials, investigators are checking a possible scheme of using buildings of state polygraphic enterprises. According to investigators, some facilities could have been transferred to private structures at below-market rent, after which they were sublet at higher prices, and part of the funds could have been conducted in cash through individuals-entrepreneurs. Among the companies whose operations are being studied within the proceedings are LLC “KETS”, “Yevrobudservis”, “BK AstraPlus”, “Komora 29” and “Kyiv Rocket Sports Park.”
A separate episode concerns the possible illegal re-registration of 718,2 square meters of real estate of the state enterprise “Poligrafkniga” to the company “Business Finance Group.” 11 March 2026 year, during the investigation, searches were conducted. 25 March and 22 May courts considered questions of arresting seized electronics, documents and materials related to the import of padel courts. These circumstances became one of the reasons for public attention to the connections between the printing business and sports infrastructure.
Vasyl Produn, whom media mention in connection with the investigated operations, holds the position of vice president of the Ukrainian padel federation, of which Oleksii Dniprov is president. According to journalists, in 2026 year his wife Olesya bought a complex of ten padel courts in Girona, Spain for 430 thousand euros. Investigators, according to publications, also study the purchase of real estate and cars including Porsche Panamera, Porsche Macan and Mercedes-Benz GLS in the context of possible movement of funds through private structures. The mere fact of acquiring property does not prove its connection to a criminal offense.
Another connection reported by the media concerns the wives of Dniprov and Produn. Journalistic publications state that Susanna Savchuk, Oleksii Dniprov’s wife and staff member of the Office of the Prosecutor General, rents from Olesya Produn an apartment in Kyiv measuring about 100 square meters. Meanwhile, the prosecutors of the Office of the Prosecutor General supervise the procedural leadership in case No. 62025000000000588. In available court materials, the lease agreement confirming the disclosed information is not provided.
In Oleksii Dniprov’s declaration for 2025 year, 95 thousand dollars in cash are noted; in his wife’s declaration — 25 thousand dollars and 5 thousand euros. The rector’s salary for the reporting period was 1,3 million UAH. Also declared were 2,18 million UAH from the sale of property to Anatolii Kusha and 390,6 thousand UAH from the sale of movable property to Oleg Romanov. These declared sums themselves do not indicate wrongdoing.
6 October 2026 year Oleksii Dniprov was re-elected vice president of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine. He continues to head KNUbA and manages the badminton and padel federations. Vasyl Produn remains vice president of the padel federation and is mentioned in journalistic materials about possible abuses of state property. Further legal assessment of the circumstances of the case will depend on the results of the investigation and court decisions.
