The wife of Timoshenko, a defendant in the Carthage case, reported ₴17 million in income
Ivan Tymoshenko’s wife, Tetyana Tymoshenko, reported approximately 17 million hryvnias in income over two and a half years of business activity. At the same time, she told reporters that she “did not earn such enormous sums.”
According to journalists, Ivan Tymoshenko headed the Information Technology Department of the Prosecutor General’s Office until September 11 and is mentioned in the case files of Operation “Carthage.”
Meanwhile, Mykola Karas, a prosecutor with the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO), stated that Tymoshenko currently has no procedural status in the investigation into the activities of fraudulent call centers.
Before starting her business, Tetiana Tymoshenko worked as a doctor at the Rivne Maternity Hospital. She graduated from Bukovina State Medical University.
In August 2023, Tymoshenko registered a sole proprietorship. Her main areas of business included the delivery of prepared meals and the sale of furniture.
According to Ivan Tymoshenko’s tax returns, his wife’s income for the first four months of 2023 amounted to 4.7 million hryvnias. In 2024, she reported 5.9 million hryvnias, and in 2025—6.4 million hryvnias. In total, over two and a half years, her earnings amounted to approximately 17 million hryvnias.
In October 2025, Tetiana Tymoshenko closed her sole proprietorship, but in August 2026, she re-registered as an entrepreneur. Currently, her business activities include renting out real estate.
At the same time, according to her husband’s tax returns, Tetyana Tymoshenko received her last salary from the Rivne Maternity Hospital in 2020—1,873 UAH.
Journalists from “Slidstvo.Info” contacted Tetyana Tymoshenko with questions about the source of her millions in income.
When asked how she earned 4.6 million hryvnias, Tymoshenko replied:
“Oh, I shouldn’t be talking about this right now, because I didn’t earn such huge sums as you’re suggesting. And even if I did earn them, you…”
After the journalist clarified that the amounts in question were listed in her husband’s financial disclosures, Tetyana Tymoshenko stated that if contacted again, she would communicate through her attorney.
She also described the “Carthage” case as “not high-profile.”
“This isn’t some critical case that warrants you contacting me, let alone publishing about it. Please investigate other cases that are more pressing in our country right now,” Tymoshenko said.
SAP Prosecutor Mykola Karas reported that law enforcement is investigating not only Serhiy Kropiva’s tenure at the Office of the Prosecutor General but also his time at the Odesa Regional State Administration, where Ivan Tymoshenko also worked.
According to investigators, starting in July 2023, Serhiy Kropiva may have been laundering bribes and “kickbacks” received while working at the Odesa Regional State Administration. Law enforcement officials are examining, in particular, whether sole proprietorships owned by his relatives could have been used for this purpose.
“We are currently working to trace certain patterns: how and when these sole proprietorships were established, whether they engaged in genuine business activity, or whether their operations resembled those we identified in late 2025–2026,” Karas explained.
According to him, the investigation is examining bank transactions, property registered in the names of relatives and other trusted individuals, cash deposits into accounts, as well as transactions that may have been fictitious.
Earlier, NABU and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) announced the launch of the “Carthage” anti-corruption operation, in which Serhiy Kropiva is implicated. According to law enforcement officials, the case involves a scheme related to covering up the activities of fraudulent call centers and money laundering. Materials from “Slidstvo.Info” also note that Ivan Tymoshenko worked alongside Kropiva at the Odesa Regional State Administration.
At the same time, the existence of declared income does not in itself indicate that the funds are of illegal origin, and an investigation into possible financial ties and transactions is ongoing.
This was reported by “Slidstvo.Info.”
As a reminder, the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court considered an appeal against the pretrial detention order issued for Serhiy Kropiva, the former deputy head of one of the divisions of the Office of the Prosecutor General, who is a defendant in the “Carthage” case.
Serhiy Kropiva, who is a defendant in the “Carthage” case and is currently in custody, as of September 17, formally remained in his position at the Office of the Prosecutor General. The Office of the Prosecutor General confirmed that no order regarding his dismissal or suspension had been registered. At the same time, disciplinary proceedings have already been initiated against the prosecutor.
Serhiy Kutsyi, the driver of Serhiy Kropiva—a defendant in the “Carthage” case—was released from custody on bail of 3 million hryvnias.
