Non-payment of taxes, income laundering and falsification of documents: entrepreneurs will be tried in Bukovina
Employees of the Investigative Department of the GUNP in the Chernivtsi region, together with colleagues of the Regional Department of Strategic Investigations of the SSR NPU and BEB, exposed an illegal scheme of tax evasion, official falsification of documents and legalization of state funds by the head of one of the food industry enterprises.
During the pre-trial investigation, law enforcement officers established that a 43-year-old resident of the regional center used a criminal scheme to enrich money. When forming the income tax declaration, the official entered false information there, thereby underestimating the real efficiency and solvency of the enterprise.
Also, the police found out that during the export of oil, the official concluded contracts and issued invoices, where he entered knowingly false information. Thus, as a result of illegal actions, no more than 12 million hryvnias were received to the state budget.
In addition, the defendant, through the conclusion of fictitious sales contracts, legalized more than 11 million income obtained criminally through various firms.
Law enforcement officers have collected sufficient evidence of the defendant's involvement in the commission of crimes and are currently incriminating him for committing the crimes provided for in parts:
— 3 Article 212 (Evasion of taxes, fees (mandatory payments);
— 2 Article 209 (Legalization (laundering) of income obtained by criminal means);
— 1 Article 366 (Counterfeiting) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
At the moment, police investigators have completed the pre-trial investigation and handed over the indictment against the man for consideration to the court.
