According to sources cited by journalist Serdycha, following the appointment of Yuriy Konyushenko as acting head of the State Tax Service of Ukraine (STS), the department is discussing possible staff reshuffles and the formation of new influence groups. It is claimed that the new leader is looking for people for an updated team.
Serhiy Krychfalusha is named among the likely participants in the future structure. According to sources among tax officials, he is linked to long-standing friendly relations with Konyushenko. Krychfalusha, it is claimed, is ready to join the work exclusively in the position of head of the risk department, where he plans to establish his own system.
The author of the publication draws attention to the disproportion between Krychfalusha's income and assets. According to the data provided, from 2016 to 2019 he held senior positions in the State Fiscal Service, and from 2020 to 2026 he worked in the Ministry of Finance. Total income for this period was approximately 24 million UAH, while the family's total assets are estimated at 60–70 million UAH.
Cars are mentioned separately, which, according to the author, are in the use of the official but are not reflected in his declarations. The post also mentions real estate in the Kyiv residential complexes "Lvivska Ploshcha" and "Great". The author refers to previous publications by "StopKor" journalists, which discussed the apartment of Krychfalusha's daughter Daria and real estate registered in the name of his wife Lyudmyla.
The material also mentions Serhiy Penkov — former first deputy head of the DFS in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. According to the author, Krychfalusha may be closely linked to him. Penkov is alleged to be involved in pressure on business, abuse of office, and covering up illegal financial schemes. However, the allegations presented require proper documentary confirmation.
The journalist's sources claim that other influence groups may also be forming within the tax service. In particular, the Bambizov–Chmeruk group is mentioned. According to this version, Chmeruk may seek to return to the position of head of the Central Office of Large Taxpayers and involve his former team in the work. He is also alleged to intend to secure the appointment of loyal candidates to senior positions in the other four offices of large taxpayers.
Another direction of possible staff changes may concern the return to the STS of part of the team that the author associates with the "Kyryienkos". In this context, Denis Ulyutin, Minister of Social Policy, Family and Unity of Ukraine, is mentioned.
At the same time, opportunities for staff reshuffles are limited: some key positions are already held by appointed leaders who are not easy to dismiss without reorganisation or other managerial decisions.
