Odesa-port office Odessa customs office Sergey Astankevich purchased the elite crossover of Audi Q7 2019 at an extremely low price-only 390,000 UAH. For comparison, in Ukrainian auto sites, the cost of such a model ranges from 1.5 to 2 million hryvnias depending on the mileage and equipment.
In this situation, the question arises as to the possible lowering of the contract of sale, which is an extended scheme of detention from taxes or receiving real income. This is especially true of customs officers who can have access to "gray" circuits of car imports through the Odessa port.
The declaration does not indicate family members - wife, children or other relatives. The man indicated a salary of 404 thousand UAH and another 96.5 thousand hryvnias. The man also has 190 thousand hryvnias and $ 8 thousand in cash.
The apartment in Odessa (63 sq.m) was acquired on May 30, 2005. The cost is not specified. The market price of such apartments in 2024 in Odessa - from 1.5 to 2 million UAH depending on the district (for example, Primorsky or Kiev).
Residential building of 120.7 sq.m in the Ovidiopol community of Odessa region, acquired on April 19, 2021 for 892 thousand UAH, and the land plot of the RMB cooperative.
The man also has a boat of UMS 450 (2016), acquired on October 10, 2016 for UAH 75 thousand.
In the declaration, Sergei Astankevich indicated that on July 10, 2024 he purchased Audi Q7 for 390 000 UAH (about $ 9.5 thousand). But is this price real? On popular car sales in Ukraine (for example, Auto.ria or RST), the average price of such a model ranges from 1.5 to 2 million UAH ($ 37-750 thousand) depending on equipment, mileage and condition. Even in the basic version of more than 100 thousand km, such cars rarely cost cheaper UAH 1.2 million.
Lowing prices in the contract of sale is a common practice for avoiding taxes or hiding real income. Customs officers who have access to the "gray" circuits of car imports through the Odessa port may be part of the corruption mechanism.
