ESBU detectives are conducting an investigation into potential tax evasion by a well-known plastic surgery medical center

 Detectives of the Territorial Office of the ESBU in the Zakarpattia region are conducting a pretrial investigation in criminal proceedings regarding potential large-scale tax evasion by officials of a plastic surgery medical center in Uzhhorod.

According to the investigation, the company's officials may have organized a scheme to minimize tax liabilities by utilizing controlled legal entities and individual entrepreneurs. The actual income from providing medical services, which should have been reflected in the financial reporting of the main business entity, was presumably distributed among related structures.

Additionally, ESBU detectives are establishing the circumstances surrounding cash payments made for the provided services without proper disclosure in tax reporting. According to operational information, a portion of the payments may have been processed without the use of cash registers, including in foreign currency.

Authorized searches were conducted, during which data storage devices that may contain information about the potential illegal activity were seized. Currently, the analysis of the confiscated materials is underway, and the origin of the funds is being established.

The pretrial investigation is being conducted under Part 3 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine—intentional evasion of taxes, fees, and other mandatory payments on an especially large scale.

Investigative actions are ongoing.

According to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in accordance with the law and established by a court's verdict of guilty.
