Detectives of the Territorial Department of the Economic Security Bureau in Lviv region handed over more than 200 tons of humanitarian aid to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Hetman Petro Sahaidachnyi National Army Academy, a children's social institution, the State border guard service and the Mykolaiv military administration. The aid includes clothing, household items, hygiene products, food and medicines.

The goods in question were discovered in late April in a warehouse in Lviv region. They were imported into Ukraine across the state border without paying taxes and mandatory customs duties. Detectives of the ESBU identified the owner and tenant of the warehouses, as well as the vehicles and trailers used to transport the items. The investigation is ongoing.

The Lychakiv district court of Lviv lifted the seizure of the confiscated property in order to preserve the economic value of the items and prevent the expiration of food and medicines.

In total more than 1,200 pallets of clothes, bedding, medicines, canned food, household chemicals and hygiene products were delivered to meet the needs of children, military personnel and residents of Mykolaiv region.

The investigation in the criminal proceedings on the grounds of a criminal offense under Part 1 of Art. 212 (tax evasion) is being carried out by detectives of the Territorial Department ESBU in Lviv region under the procedural supervision of the Lviv regional prosecutor's office.
