The ESBU recovers over UAH 5 million in unpaid taxes during the medical center reconstruction

 Detectives of the Territorial Office of the ESBU in the Kyiv region have ensured the recovery of over UAH 5 million to the state budget in damages caused by tax evasion. The tax evasion was discovered in the activities of a contracting organization providing construction services.

The investigation revealed that the company’s officials documented non-existent operations through risky firms to reduce their tax liability. These VAT-related actions allowed the company to generate additional profit, leading to a loss of revenue for the state budget.

Following an analytical study and a forensic economic expert evaluation, the amount of damages caused to the state was confirmed to exceed UAH 5 million.

Based on the collected evidence, the head of the enterprise was notified of suspicion under Part 1 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional tax evasion).

Currently, the damages caused to the state have been repaid in full. The criminal proceedings have been referred to court with a motion to release the individual from criminal liability.

Procedural guidance is provided by prosecutors of the Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office. According to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in accordance with the law and established by a court's verdict of guilty.
