The BES detects taxpayers conducting non-commodity transactions

Detectives of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine served a notice of suspicion of intentional tax evasion in a significant amount to the director of a company engaged in metal purchasing and aluminum smelting.

The investigation established that the suspect had been conducting non-commodity financial and business transactions for a year, allegedly to purchase metal products from a fictitious company.

Later, he entered false information into tax reports. In this way, he overstated the amount of the value added tax credit. As a result, the company evaded paying over UAH 5 million in taxes.

The BES detectives conducted a number of investigative actions and measures, collected sufficient evidence and conducted examinations. After that, the man was served a notice of suspicion of committing a criminal offense under Part 1 Art. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

The pre-trial investigation is ongoing. The issue of choosing a type of detention is being decided.

Procedural supervision is carried out by prosecutors of the Prosecutor General's Office.
