Tax officials exposed seizure of consumer funds by illegally increasing tariffs for heat supply. 

Employees of the Anti-money laundering department of Main Directorate of the STS in Sumy region detected that the company involved in heat supply carried out non-commodity operations for the purchase of coal. These actions led to an unjustified overestimation of the cost of services for the supply of thermal energy and led to the seizure of consumer funds in the amount of more than 50 million UAH.

Materials are investigated within the criminal proceeding under Part 5 Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
