Oleksiy Dniprov and Tabachnyk's schemes: the former deputy head of the OFP laundered money of Ukrvidavpolihrafiya through a business partner and luxurious Porsches
Oleksiy 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 of the State Bureau of Investigation regarding possible embezzlement of funds of the state Ukrvidavpolihrafiya.
According to court rulings, investigators are checking a probable withdrawal of about 8 million UAH per month through rent of state property, private companies, and cash transactions. One of the defendants in journalistic publications about this case is Vasyl Produn — vice president of the federation chaired by Dniprov.
Criminal proceeding No. 62025000000000588 was opened on 13 June 2025 year, the media report. It investigates possible violations under part 5 of art. 191, part 2 of art. 364 and part 3 of art. 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It concerns possible misappropriation or embezzlement of property, abuse of power or official position, and legalisation of property obtained by criminal means. The existence of a case does not prove the guilt of the mentioned persons.
Interest in Oleksiy Dniprov is also connected with his career after working in the Ministry of Education and Science under Dmytro Tabachnyk. In March 2016, then director of the Department for Purging (Lustration) at the Ministry of Justice, Tetiana Kozachenko said that Dniprov was covered by the law “On the Purification of Power.” However, head of the National Agency of Ukraine on Civil Service Kostyantyn Vaschenko sent to the Administration of President Petro Poroshenko an explanation regarding the difference between the positions of “ deputy minister” and “ deputy minister — head of the staff.” The latter title, according to this explanation, was not on the list of positions subject to purging. This story was previously covered by the journalists of the Schemes project.
After this, Oleksiy Dniprov continued to work in state positions: headed the presidential administration staff, and later the Office of the President, and was deputy head of the Office of the President under Andriy Yermak. 29 On March 2024, President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Dniprov from this post. 13 In June of that year, Dniprov won the election for rector of Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture, gaining 72,7% of the votes.
According to the court materials, investigators are checking a possible scheme of using premises of state printing companies. According to investigators, certain facilities could have been transferred to private structures for below-market rent, after which they were subleased at a higher price, and part of the funds could have been cash-handled through individual 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 a 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 of year, searches were conducted within the investigation. 25 March and 22 May, courts considered the issue 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 the media mention in connection with the investigated operations, holds the position of vice president of the Ukrainian Padel Federation, of which Oleksiy Dniprov is president. According to journalists’ reports, in 2026, Produn’s wife Olesya bought in Girona, Spain, a complex of ten padel courts 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 link reported by the media concerns the wives of Dniprov and Produn. According to journalistic publications, Susanna Savchuk, Oleksiy Dniprov’s wife and a staff member of the Office of the Prosecutor General, rents to Olesya Produn an apartment in Kyiv of about 100 square meters. At the same time, prosecutors of the Office of the Prosecutor General supervise the proceedings No. 62025000000000588. In available court materials, the lease agreement confirming the publicly stated information is not cited.
In Oleksiy Dniprov’s declaration for 2025 year, 95 thousand dollars in cash are listed; 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 disclosed are 2,18 million UAH from the sale of real estate to Anatoliy Kush and 390,6 thousand UAH from the sale of movable property to Oleh Romanov. These declared amounts themselves do not indicate violations.
6 October 2026 year Oleksiy Dniprov was re-elected vice president of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine. He continues to head KNUbA and manage 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 will depend on the investigation results and court decisions.
