Fictitious business re-registration: ESBU of the Lviv region refers the case to the court

 Detectives of the Territorial Office of the ESBU in the Lviv region have referred an indictment to court against a company director who fictitiously re-registered an enterprise, specifically by entering false data into documents.

The investigation established that the man, for a monetary reward, agreed to formally head the enterprise without any intention of conducting business activities. He signed a package of documents containing deliberately inaccurate information regarding the company's location, management structure, owners, and types of activities.

Subsequently, these documents were submitted to the state registrar, which allowed for the registration of a legal entity with fictitious data and its use in illegal schemes.

The suspect's actions have been qualified under Part 1 of Article 205-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (submission of deliberately false information in documents for the state registration of a legal entity). The indictment has been sent to the court.

Procedural oversight was carried out by prosecutors of the Lviv Regional Prosecutor's Office. Operational support was provided by employees of the Strategic Investigations Department in the Lviv region of the National Police of Ukraine.
