Detectives of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine exposed "volunteers" in Volyn who tried to import vinyl record players under the guise of humanitarian aid from Poland.

Expensive equipment was imported through the checkpoint "Yagodin". They tried to pass off the cargo as radio spare parts for one of the military units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The letter of guarantee is signed by a person who has been dismissed from his position and is not related to the military unit.

Detectives conducted a search of the truck as a result of which 50 boxes with audio systems were seized. The cost of the cargo is set.

It was established that the scheme was set up to evade the payment of mandatory payments to the budget during movement across the customs border.

The mentioned charity fund has been working in Ukraine for 9 years.

The pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings under Part 1 of Art. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Evasion of taxes, duties (mandatory payments)) is carried out by detectives of the Territorial Department of the ESBU in the Volyn region together with the State Border Service under the procedural guidance of the Volyn regional prosecutor's office.

We will remind that recently detectives of the ESBU exposed the illegal import of a line for the manufacture of cigarettes worth UAH 10 million into the territory of Ukraine. More details https://esbu.gov.ua/en/news/detectives-of-the-esbu-seized-a-cigarette-packaging-line-at-customs
