Employees of the Anti-money laundering department of Main Directorate of the STS in Cherkasy region exposed creation of an artificial chain for purchase of agricultural products of unknown origin with use of business entities with “fictitiousness” signs and its subsequent export.

Use of this scheme due to documentation of the non-commodity operations led to understatement of the VAT liabilities totaling more than 10 million UAH.

Criminal proceeding regarding this case was registered under Part 3 Article 212 of the Criminal code of Ukraine. Pre-trial investigation is ongoing.
