He agreed to “resolve issues” via SMS right in the courtroom: ex-prosecutor Artem Tenditny became famous thanks to his dismissal for scandalous correspondence during a meeting of the Dnieper Court in Kyiv.
During his short time working in the prosecutor's office, the former law enforcement officer and now businessman acquired a considerable fortune: 2 hectares of land, a cottage complex and an apartment in the capital.
A lover of expensive cars, obscene language, forceful reprisals against undesirable persons and “negotiations”: today the focus of StopCor’s analysts is the former prosecutor Artem Tenditny, who was fired from his position back in 2015 for correspondence that he conducted right in the courtroom.
Then an internal audit was carried out of Artem Khrupky and employees of the capital’s prosecutor’s office, whose correspondence via SMS was published in the media, for which they were fired from their positions. The press service of the Prosecutor General's Office informed about this at one time.
Based on the results of an inspection carried out by the Kyiv prosecutor's office, by order of the acting prosecutor of the city of Kyiv for committing a shameful act, violation of the “Oath of the Prosecutor’s Office” and the “Code of Professional Ethics and Conduct of Prosecutor’s Office Employees” of the Kiev region, and Sergei Sergeevich Lysenko - from the post of senior prosecutor of the prosecutor’s office of the city of Kyiv,” the message says.
The then-Deputy Prosecutor General David Sakvarelidze immediately reported the resonant incident on his Facebook page.
What kind of ill-fated correspondence is this, because of which the chairmen of the prosecutors “flew away”?
Somewhat earlier, an interesting correspondence appeared on the Internet between Artem Khrupky, prosecutor of the Dneprovsky District Prosecutor's Office of Kyiv, Sergei Lysenko, senior prosecutor of the department of procedural management of pre-trial investigation and support of state prosecution of the Kyiv Prosecutor's Office, and Denis Solovyov, prosecutor of the Dneprovsky District Prosecutor's Office of Kyiv.
Communication took place over the phone in a closed community on the Viber platform in the “Bald Birds” group. The text contains a significant amount of obscene language. However, this is not what attracted attention. Correspondence via SMS between prosecutors took place during the trial, and it contained proposals for violence against a photojournalist who recorded events during the trial.
A photo of the correspondence was taken by journalist Vasily Krutchak during a meeting of the Dneprovsky District Court of Kyiv.
As promised, I am posting a photo of the correspondence of the prosecutor of the Dneprovsky district of the city of Kyiv A.P. Tenditny. A court hearing was held in the Dneprovsky district court of the city of Kyiv. Briefly about the essence of the meeting, then someone ordered a lawyer, and the prosecutor’s office of the Dnieper region is doing everything to ensure that the lawyer is involved in crime. So there you go! During the meeting, it was possible to photograph the correspondence of prosecutor Tenditny A.P., who supported the charges. From the correspondence it becomes clear that prosecutors decide among themselves how to deal with persons they dislike,” the journalist wrote on his Facebook page.
Then the prosecutor did not give up and actively tried through the court to be reinstated in his position. However, it didn’t work out. It is worth noting that his two colleagues, Sergei Lysenko and Denis Solovy, were reinstated by the District Administrative Court of Kiev, because during the correspondence they were allegedly on sick leave.
Why not sue when you got such a fortune in a short time as a prosecutor?
It can be assumed that the prosecutor’s chair was apparently very “comfortable” for Artem Khrupky. After all, according to extracts from the register of property rights, almost 2 hectares of land near Kiev (in the village of Ivankovo, Boryspil district) are registered with Khrupky for agricultural activities.
Also on the territory of the Ivankovsky village council is his elite gated cottage complex, which Khrupky became the owner of in October 2013. Today, the average price of one hundred square meters of land in the village of Ivankov near Kiev costs 13 -14 thousand UAH. Let's take the minimum price for calculation.
So, the plot, owned by Khrupky, costs neither more nor less, but approximately 2,510,140 hryvnia.
Has an ex-prosecutor and an apartment in Kyiv on Hetman Vadim Street, 1a. The register says that it was commissioned in 2010. Journalist Dmitry Gnap hinted that Khrupky received these premises free of charge as a reward for his service in the prosecutor’s corps.
He received the apartment by decision of the Main Directorate of Housing. For diligent and exemplary service, probably. That is, we all chipped in a little money so that Artem Khrupky could live in a very sour apartment,” the journalist wrote.
The average price of an apartment on Getman Vadim is 160 thousand US dollars. And in hryvnias at today’s exchange rate it is 6,400 thousand hryvnias.
As you can see, the former official ensured a comfortable life for himself.
How does an ex-prosecutor make a living now:
According to information and analytical platforms, as of today Artem Tenditny is the owner of three companies. In 2021, he founded Stem Park LLC in Kyiv, whose main activity is road freight transport. In 2023 alone, according to Opendatabot, the company’s net profit was 4,329,300 hryvnia.
Another company, Ronho, was registered by Fragile in 2019. Its main activities are wholesale trade in grain, unprocessed tobacco seeds and animal feed. However, these financial statements are published here only for 2020-2021. And the profit is zero.
Also in 2019, Artem Tenditny became the director and beneficial co-owner of the Small Collective Enterprise “Creativity”. For some reason, after a change of leadership, things go downhill.
As we can see, the ex-prosecutor's profits are currently small. But for some reason, his companies also have a loss-making balance sheet. The question arises as to why they exist at all, but, probably, there is some need and benefit unknown to the public.
Stopcor analysts contacted the prosecutor's office of the Dnieper district of Kyiv with a request for comments. A request was also sent to Artem Khrupky himself.
