Oleg Kiper should be removed from the post of prosecutor of Kyiv
Law enforcement agencies have not yet become interested in the chief prosecutor of Kyiv, Oleg Kiper, despite the corruption background and the fact that his wife, Irina Kiper, has Russian citizenship and likely ties with the Russian Federation. Kiper himself is considered a man of the head of the Office of President Andriy Yermak, writes Anticorrosive.
Neither the SBU nor the State Bureau of Investigation reported on the proceedings against the scandalous prosecutor. The scandals around Kiper also went unnoticed by Ukraine’s top political leadership, as well as the Prosecutor General’s Office.
The facts presented by the journalists are enough to start an investigation and remove prosecutor Kiper from office in order to exclude his influence on the investigation. No step in this direction has been taken so far.
Recall that back on February 2, journalists from the Schemes program reported that Kiper spent a 10-day New Year’s vacation abroad, and his wife still has a valid Russian passport and an individual tax number of the Russian Federation.
Later media reportedthat Irina Kiper collaborated for almost 2.5 years with the Russian organization Vestnik Eurasia, which the FSB uses to recruit “promising youth”. It was reported that Irina Kiper is included in the closed database of the Russian Federation, access to which requires a special permit. This may indicate that Kiper is a “legendary person” in Russia.
Prior to his appointment as Chief Prosecutor of Kyiv, Oleg Kiper worked freelance adviser Andrey Ermak. Under Yanukovych, Kiper was deputy head of the Main Investigation Department of the Prosecutor General’s Office, headed by Viktor Pshonka. In 2014, he fell under lustration, but was reinstated and received UAH 800,000. compensation due to the decision of the now liquidated District Administrative Court of Kyiv.

A long corruption trail also stretches behind Kiper. By data Bihus.info, at one time Kiper appropriated and sold a three-room service apartment. In the fleet of Range Rover Sport, Toyota RAV4, Toyota Camry. For two with his wife there are 3 apartments in the capital. Irina Kiper also has a recreation center in Bukovel. As of 2020, the prosecutor declared 5 million hryvnia in cryptocurrency and another 25 million of his wife’s earnings.
Journalists also reported that Oleg Kiper is a close friend of former Deputy Prosecutor General Sergei Kiz. This is the same Kiz who applied to Canada with a request to lift sanctions against Andrey Portnov and closed the case against ex-customs officer Igor Kaletnik. Kiper and Kiz are so close that in 2020 they rented a car from one another, and Kiper himself is a business partner of Kiz’s wife in two enterprises at once.
