Tax evasion exceeding UAH 10 million: ESBU in the Lviv region refers the case to the court

 Detectives of the Territorial Office of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine in the Lviv region have referred the materials of a criminal proceeding against a company director to court. He is suspected of evading taxes amounting to over UAH 10 million.

The investigation established that the head of the enterprise, which is engaged in the retail trade of household and industrial goods, received non-refundable financial assistance totaling nearly UAH 56 million from another company. However, these funds were not reflected in the tax reports.

As a result of these actions, the state budget failed to receive over UAH 10 million in corporate income tax.

The individual was notified of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (tax evasion on an especially large scale).

During the pre-trial investigation, the damages caused to the state in the amount of UAH 10 million were reimbursed in full. Consequently, the materials of the criminal proceeding were referred to the court with a motion to release the suspect from criminal liability.

Procedural guidance in the case is provided by prosecutors of the Lviv Regional Prosecutor's Office.
