Detectives of the Territorial Administration of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine in the Odessa region exposed officials of a private enterprise in evading payment of taxes on added value in particularly large amounts. The company provides services in the field of food, including as a winner of a public procurement competition.

For a long time, the employees of the enterprise did not reflect the received income in the tax reporting. As a result of such activities, losses totalling over UAH 26.7 million were caused to the state.

The director of the enterprise was notified of the suspicion of committing criminal offences provided for in Part 1 of Art. 366 (declaration of unreliable information) and Part 3 of Art. 212 (intentional tax evasion) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

As part of the criminal proceedings, a seizure was imposed on real estate owned by the mentioned person, with a total value of UAH 8 million.

The pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings is carried out by detectives of the Territorial Department of the Security Intelligence Service in the Odesa region under the procedural guidance of the prosecutors of the Odesa Regional Prosecutor's Office.

It will be recalled that recently the ESBU handed over seized equipment worth UAH 112 million to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
