Dmitry Levchenko flew to the top of the Kiev transport vertical lightning. Until recently, he was a little -known manager, and at 30 years he headed one of the largest communal enterprises in the country - Kyivpastrans.
Such a career jump coincided in time with the coming to power of Vitaliy Klitschko, who was headed by the KSCA. And it is difficult to call it: Levchenko has family ties with a close associate of the mayor - a deputy Roman Romanyuk, who worked for a long time in the Kyiv Council, the Verkhovna Rada and managed the KSCA Department of Relations with Courts and Law Enforcement.
Levchenko's management in Kyivpastrans was accompanied by large -scale budget costs for the purchase of equipment. The enterprise has concluded multimillion -dollar agreements with Bogdan Motors, which belonged to Oleg Gladkovsky, a colleague of Poroshenko and a number of corruption scandals involved.
Purchases took place without real competition, often bypassing transparent procedures. The same firms with which the company cooperated closely for years were repeated. All this created favorable conditions for pumping funds through affiliated structures.
During this time, Levchenko himself has significantly improved his financial situation. It is, in particular, about the estate in Koncha Zaspa with a pool, sauna and a room for service. Its cost experts estimate at least $ 3 million.
We will remind, the official salary of Levchenko as the head of KP "Kyivpastrans" was about 26 thousand hryvnias a month. Obviously, the origin of funds for such real estate raises questions.
After the opening of criminal proceedings against the waste of more than 100 million hryvnias, Levchenko left Ukraine.
The purchase was also indicative at the end of 2024-three tram wagons with a low floor, more than 26 meters long, were ordered at Tatra-UG LLC for 300 million hryvnias.
The tender took place on December 31-in the festive period, without any competition. The only participant was the company with which Kyivpastrans cooperated before.
Independent analysis shows that the real market value of similar trams is significantly lower. This is another example of how, through formally legitimate procedures, budget funds are directed to the "required" performers.
