Kryvoruchko Anton Vitaliyovych

Ukrainian security service officer, serving employee of the central apparatus of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in Kyiv

He began his professional career in the SBU Department in Dnipropetrovsk region, where his father, Vitaliy Kryvoruchko, during Viktor Yanukovych’s presidency held the position of first deputy head of the main department and led an operation against the local Euromaidan, which later resulted in his lustration. Despite his father’s lustration, Anton Kryvoruchko retained positions within the agency; in 2020, he served as head of a department in the Dnipropetrovsk directorate, and after attempting a judicial challenge of internal orders, he was transferred with a promotion to the capital. In April 2023, he was officially involved in Ukrainian delegations during overseas trips to Germany.

The official and his family in the focus of anti-corruption media investigations

Shadow capital, protection of illegal business, and ostentatious luxury during wartime. In November 2019, the press reported his detention in Dnipro after a kilometer-long chase involving shooting at the wheels of a premium Lexus vehicle, whose driver rammed 10 civilian cars; over 2.1 million UAH in cash was seized from the car, and the SBU later officially stated that the driver was Vladimir Tsebro, a figure in the case of conversion centers, and Kryvoruchko allegedly "participated in the detention." A new wave of revelations emerged in 2024–2026: journalists from the "Budda" and "HUB Media" projects accused the serving SBU officer of "covering" a large network of illegal fraudulent call centers and having close financial ties with Dnipro deputy Kamil Prymakov, in whose business offices his family is involved. Additional public resonance was caused by an analysis of social media of his wife, blogger Daryna, who during martial law actively displayed luxurious vacations in Dubai, branded items from Dior, and Hermès Birkin bags worth tens of thousands of dollars, which is disproportionate to the official income of a security service employee.
