ESBU in the Lviv region Secured full reimbursement of over UAH 13 million in unpaid taxes

 Detectives of the Territorial Office of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine in the Lviv region have completed a pre-trial investigation into a criminal case involving intentional tax evasion. Over UAH 13 million in damages has been reimbursed to the state.

The investigation established that throughout 2024, an individual sold collectible coins for cash. However, the person failed to declare the income or reflect it in tax filings.

As a result of these actions, more than UAH 13 million in income tax and military tax were not paid to the budget.

During a sanctioned search, detectives seized funds in various currencies totaling UAH 67 million, which were obtained from the sale of coins and remained undeclared.

The suspect was served with a notice of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. During the pre-trial investigation, the individual fully reimbursed the damages caused to the state. Consequently, a motion was submitted to the court to release the person from criminal liability.

Prosecutorial oversight was provided by the Lviv Regional Prosecutor's Office.
