The National Anti -Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti -Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) announced the suspicion of the former first deputy head of the State Fiscal Service (DFS) Sergey Bilan. He is accused of abusing office, which has led to multimillion -dollar losses for the state budget.
About it reports the detective bureau of ABSURTION.
As the investigation was established, in June 2017, Bilan, being in the position of the first deputy chairman of the DFS, acting in the interests of an individual entity, intentionally did not signed within a certain period of the decision on the results of consideration of the complaint of the taxpayer. This complaint concerned tax notices-decisions, which were approved by the territorial bodies of the DFS.
According to the provisions of the Tax Code of Ukraine, if the authorized person does not make a decision within the prescribed period, the complaint is automatically satisfied in favor of the taxpayer. Thus, due to the inaction of the Bilan, the state lost the right to demand payment of taxes and penalties in the amount of more than UAH 641 million.
In this case, the extent, according to the investigation, deliberately created the visibility of the impossibility of signing the appropriate decision to hide his actions.
The role of Bilan in this process was key because he was the only person in the DFS, authorized to make a decision on the results of consideration of taxpayers' complaints. His actions directly led to the fact that the country's budget has not received hundreds of millions of hryvnias.
NABU and SAP qualified the actions of the former official under Part 2 of Art. 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (abuse of power or office, which has caused grave consequences).
The Supreme Anti -Corruption Court (VAKS) considered the petition of law enforcement officers and elected a detention measure for Sergiy Bilan in the form of collateral. The court made a decision to recover almost UAH 10 million from the suspect.
The investigation is ongoing, and anti -corruption authorities continue to establish all details of the scheme and possible accomplices of this offense.
We will remind, the expert of the operator of the gas transportation system of Ukraine (GTS operator), which previously left abroad, was informed of the suspicion of the case of the task of more than UAH 18 billion of losses of the state budget.
