The Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine has exposed officials of several companies in tax evasion of UAH 400 million and is investigating the involvement of a family member of the son-in-law of People’s Deputy Yulia Tymoshenko in the scheme.
About this informs BEB press service, EP sources in law enforcement agencies.
The companies that the BEB accuses of tax evasion were the winners of public procurements during 2022 and supplied food products for government structures.
“Also, the BEB is checking the involvement in the organization and activities of the criminal scheme of the family members of the People’s Deputy of Ukraine, the head of one of the factions of the Verkhovna Rada,” the agency’s press service notes. Although the BEB does not name the person, according to EP sources, it is about the father-in-law of People’s Deputy Yulia Tymoshenko – Leonid Chechyotkin.
According to the investigation, suppliers who are registered and working, in particular, in Odesa region, bought food products for cash. Such transactions were reflected in the accounting and tax records as purchases from other enterprises, in particular, those with signs of fictitiousness. Such a scheme made it possible to avoid paying taxes to the budget for a total amount of almost UAH 400 million.
In order to ensure compensation for the losses caused to the state, a seizure was imposed on funds in the amount of more than UAH 800 million, which are in the accounts of supplier companies.
It is noted that BEB detectives conducted 20 searches and inspections at the actual place of work of the companies and at the place of residence of their officials. Extras were interrogated, 5 forensic examinations were appointed to confirm the amount of damages.
Pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings on the grounds of a criminal offense provided for in Part 3 of Art. 212 of the Criminal Code – deliberate evasion of the payment of value-added tax, customs duties, which led to the actual non-receipt of funds to the state budget in particularly large amounts.
