The Pechersk District Prosecutor's Office of Kyiv, together with the Security Service of Ukraine, exposed a large-scale tax evasion scheme, within the framework of which the state suffered losses of tens of millions of hryvnias.
According to the investigation, the organizer of the so-called "conversion center", the director of a private company, and two accountants provided businesses with services to minimize tax liabilities through a network of about 50 fictitious enterprises in Kyiv and the Odessa region.
Between January and August 2025, participants in the scheme intentionally understated the value added tax, which led to non-payment of VAT in the amount of more than UAH 53.8 million.
Law enforcement officers informed the defendants of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (tax evasion in particularly large amounts).
The prosecutor's office noted that during the pre-trial investigation, the entire amount of damages — UAH 53.8 million — has already been reimbursed to the state budget. The pre-trial investigation in the criminal proceedings is ongoing.
It was previously reported that law enforcement officers have uncovered a large-scale money laundering scheme obtained during the execution of defense contracts. The total amount of financial transactions with signs of laundering exceeds 578 million hryvnias.
