The State Security Service of Ukraine in Kyiv jointly with the Prosecutor’s Office and Police exposed the scheme of illegal capital withdrawal to offshore companies in large amounts, according to the service’s message.
As reported, the perpetrators, using controlled fictitious export companies, concluded export contracts with affiliated non-resident companies without reporting these transactions in tax reporting documents.
As the result, the commodity and material assets were exported abroad, and the currency proceeds were not returned to the territory of Ukraine. The amount of illegal financial transactions, conducted in 2016-2017, is equal to more than UAH 800 mln.
During 14 searches of the premises, offices, cars, belonging to the persons involved, the law enforcement officers seized laptops with client-bank software, flash drives, mobile phones with texting, confirming the illegal activities of the persons involved in the scheme, notebooks with working notes about transactions and 50 fictitious stamps of business entities.
