The High Anti-Corruption Court has upheld the claim of the Justice Ministry against Dmytro Tabachnyk, Yanukovych-era education minister, who is suspected of treason and aiding Russia, the Anti-Corruption Action Center said on Telegram on April 11.
Tabachnyk's property, which was either directly registered to him or registered to his mother, has been confiscated. In particular, it includes:
half of an apartment on Yaroslaviv Val in Kyiv;
five land plots in the elite Kozyn suburb;
a 672-square-meter house in Kozyn on the banks of the Dnipro River;
almost $144,000 in a bank account;
the right to compensation of 40.6 million hryvnias ($1.04 million);
a claim to one of the banks for 191,000 hryvnias ($4,871).
Dmytro Tabachnyk is a former Minister of Education of Ukraine and a Doctor of Historical Sciences. He has Israeli citizenship.
He left Ukraine and fled to Russia back in February 2014, together with former President Viktor Yanukovych.
He was a member of the so-called "group" that was supposed to become the interim "government" in Kyiv in February 2022, when the Russian troops planned to seize the capital.
Tabachnyk was sentenced in absentia to 15 years in prison in Ukraine on March 21.
He regularly provided the Russian leadership with his own forecasts of the development of the socio-political situation in Ukraine after the outbreak of the full-scale war, according to Ukraine’s SBU security service.

Tabachnyk also advised the Gauleiter Volodymyr Saldo and Yevhen Balytskyi on holding sham referendums in the temporarily occupied districts of Kherson and Zaporizhzhya oblasts.
He also assisted the collaborators in reformatting the education sector according to Russian "standards".
The occupation authorities appointed Tabachnyk as an "advisor" to Balytskyi and included him in the local branch of Vladimir Putin's United Russia party.
