Financial Scandal in KNISE: Acting Director Maxim Kiselev under investigation

Acting Director of the Kyiv Research Institute of Forensic Expertise (KNISE) Maxim Kiselev was at the Center for a large-scale financial investigation. The National Anti -Corruption Agency (NAPC) found unreliable information in its declaration of UAH 2.7 million, and the investigation found that the official allegedly lost cryptocurrency for $ 700,000 in a dubious outshore scheme and suspicious transactions.

According to the results of the NAPC inspection, a number of violations were recorded in the corrected declaration of Kiselev for 2023, in particular:

  • low area of ​​his wife's apartment in Kiev (77.6 instead of 82.3 square meters);
  • hidden cost of the garden house in the Obukhov district of Kyiv region (426.6 thousand UAH);
  • Unconfirmed revenue from cryptocurrency sales for UAH 2.7 million, which was not found in the Cyber ​​Police Department and Nest Services Limited.

In addition, Kiselev's wife, Oleksandra Goryaev, has corporate rights in the KM Practice Law Firm and owns two offshore companies - British HengTotone Development Ltd and Seychello Ammilo Commerce Ltd.

Of particular interest was the history of the disappearance of Kryptoactive Kiselev. He declared 647 065 USDT (UAH 23.66 million), 3190 Pala (UAH 233), 7853 UTRON (23 789 UAH) and 0,507 USDT (19 UAH). However, the cyber police found no evidence of the existence of these assets at these public addresses. Kiselev himself stated that he was cheated, and the funds disappeared due to fraud.

The investigation found that in 2022 the official accumulated cryptocurrency for $ 700,000 and carried out operations through a familiar couple - Oleg Gromov and Vita Yefimchuk. They met in 2021 during the flight from the Seychelles, where Kiselev rested with his wife. In February 2022, his family went to Spain, where, according to preliminary data, he acquired an elite estate worth 1.5 million euros. Due to banking restrictions, Kiselev could not officially transfer funds, so he appealed to Gromov, which helped to translate cryptocurrency savings.

However, in February 2023, the money disappeared unexpectedly. Transactions from Kiselev's wallet shows that 647 thousand USDT was transferred through a number of accounts, including citizens of Ukraine and Russia:

  • 60 000 USDT was received by Dmitry Jioev (Ukraine) on Binance account;
  • 184 329 USDT went to Alexander Mikhailov's wallet (Russian Federation);
  • 100 000 USDT - to Cyril Zotov (RF);
  • 407 088 USDT is converted to Bitcoin and displayed on a wallet -controlled Daniel Brown (RF).

The investigation believes that Gromov, Efimchuk and Jioev may be involved in the case. Criminal proceedings were opened under Part 3 of Art. 190 (fraud) and Part 1 of Art. 358 (forgery) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

Despite Kiselev's statements about the loss of cryptocurrency assets, investigators do not exclude that the scheme could have been created to hide funds and evasion of financial liabilities. The official did not provide any documents confirming his version of the events, and the NAPC rejected the explanation as unfounded. In this regard, he is threatened with criminal liability for declaring false data and possible participation in financial fraud.
