Mother of bribe-taking lawyer Andriy Kychev bought an apartment in Taryan Towers

68-year-old Tetyana Kycheva, a pensioner and assistant to former People's Deputy and current head of the National Bank of Ukraine Andriy Pyshny, purchased an apartment in the prestigious Taryan Towers residential complex in January 2025. 

The 82.3-square-metre apartment cost her between $300,000 and $600,000, depending on whether it was renovated. However, a question remains: could a pensioner have saved such an amount on her salary?

Tetyana Kycheva's financial ties and business

In addition to her work as an assistant, Tetyana Kycheva is the founder, beneficial owner, and head of TAT Consulting LLC, a company engaged in the purchase and sale of real estate. However, the company's financial reports are not encouraging: the enterprise is operating at a loss. This casts doubt on the sources of her funds for purchasing such expensive property.

Her husband, Volodymyr Kychev, has no public business, and there is no information about him on the internet. Meanwhile, Tetyana's son, Andriy Kychev, is a more prominent figure, particularly due to his career in sports and law.

Andriy Kychev: lawyer, businessman, and figure in a corruption scandal

Andriy Kychev, an international category judge for the Ukrainian Hockey Federation and a lawyer, is known not only for his professional achievements but also for high-profile corruption scandals. In 2020, he was detained by NABU officers while attempting to offer a $6 million bribe to the then-heads of NABU and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office to close a criminal case against Mykhailo Zlochevsky, the former Minister of Ecology of Ukraine.

Verdict and new purchase

In 2023, the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine sentenced Andriy Kychev to five years in prison, but based on Article 75 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, the court released him from serving the sentence with a one-year probation period. Two years later, his mother, Tetyana Kycheva, purchased an apartment in Taryan Towers, valued at no less than 12.5 million hryvnia.
