Ukrainian businessmen brothers Ostap and Yurii Doskichi from Lviv became the center of attention due to large-scale financial violations that caused losses to the state budget of over a billion hryvnias. According to the criminal proceedings covering various sectors of their activity, the "favorite" articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine include tax evasion, legalization of proceeds of crime, and embezzlement of state property.
The Doskichi brothers own dozens of companies in various industries, including cable manufacturing, copper products, plastics and construction. One of the most well-known criminal proceedings concerns their participation in the embezzlement of the property of the joint-stock company "Ukrzaliznytsia", which occurred during fictitious transactions and unjustified spending capture.
Although there was an active investigation of some cases in 2020-2021, some proceedings, in particular No. 12020000000000709, were closed with minimal results. However, others, such as case number 42023000000000709, are ongoing, with investigations involving theft, forgery and unauthorized access to computer systems.
The enterprises of the Doskich brothers massively violated financial and tax rules, which was reflected in hundreds of decisions of the DPS regarding the collection of unpaid taxes. Yuriy Doskich is a deputy of the Lviv Regional Council from the Servant of the People party, and Ostap is a deputy of the Lviv City Council from the European Solidarity Party.
