Detectives of the Territorial Department of the ESBU in the Kyiv region completed a pre-trial investigation into tax evasion of more than UAH 8 million.

The investigation established that the company engaged in the wholesale trade of consumer goods became the winner of tenders in 2021, based on the results of state procurement.

Officials of the mentioned company received funds for the goods but did not reflect business operations in tax reporting.

In this way, they deliberately evaded payment of value-added tax in particularly large amounts.

The person involved in the criminal proceedings has been notified of the suspicion of committing a criminal offense, provided for in Part 3 of Art. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and a preventive measure was chosen. The indictment was sent to the court.

The damages caused to the state amounted to more than UAH 8 million. Prosecutors of the Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office filed a civil lawsuit against these funds.

We will remind you that the ESBU recently referred a case to the court for the illegal sale of tobacco products in the Kyiv region
