Detectives of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine handed over 47 tons of confiscated sunflower oil to the National Agency of Ukraine for identification, search and asset management (ARMA). The cost is more than UAH 2.6 million.

At one of the customs posts of the Lviv region, the drivers of 2 trucks with trailers processed the export of 47 tons of sunflower oil. Analysis of tax information showed that sunflower oil is not tracked through the supply chain.

The entity is an oil-producing company that is not a VAT payer. Starting from May 2021, the company did not submit tax returns. This makes it impossible to establish capital, credit sources, production facilities, vehicles, etc. In addition, the mentioned manufacturer is classified as risky, and the head of the plant is an official in 8 economic entities at the same time.

Detectives of the ESBU seized sunflower oil. In order to preserve the economic value of products, 47 tons of oil were transferred to ARMA management.

By the decision of the court, the director of the enterprise found the defendants guilty of the charge brought under Part 5 of Art. 27 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and Part 1 of Art. 205-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (forgery of documents submitted for state registration of a legal entity and individual entrepreneurs).

Pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings on the grounds of a criminal offense provided for in Part 5 of Art. 27 part 1 of Art. 205-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is carried out by detectives of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine under the procedural guidance of prosecutors of the Prosecutor General's Office.

It will be recalled that recently the detectives of the ESBU in Odesa region uncovered a scheme for the supply of components from abroad for the production of counterfeit perfumes.
