Prosecutors of the Zakarpattia Regional Prosecutor's Office, together with detectives from the Bureau of Economic Security (BEB), conducted authorized searches at one of the largest plastic surgery centers in Ukraine. The investigative actions, as stated, took place within the framework of criminal proceedings regarding possible tax evasion on an especially large scale.
According to the investigation, officials of the medical facility may have organized a scheme to minimize tax payments through related companies and individual entrepreneurs (FOPs), among whom the clinic's actual income was distributed
Despite unified management, personnel, resources, and financial flows, the medical center's activities were formally registered under several business entities. "This likely allowed them to avoid reflecting the full volume of the main enterprise's income in financial reporting," the prosecutor's office stated.
During the searches, law enforcement officers seized shadow accounting records, financial statements, electronic accounting documents, records regarding the payment of "under-the-table" salaries, as well as significant amounts of cash in various currencies. According to preliminary data, from January 2024 to April 2026, the medical center's real income could have amounted to approximately 7.2 million in foreign currency and over 141 million UAH. According to investigative estimates, the total turnover exceeds 520 million UAH, and the amount of unpaid taxes could reach about 100 million UAH
Information regarding cash settlements with clients without the use of cash registers (RRO) and the receipt of payments in foreign currency contrary to legal requirements is also being verified, the prosecutor's office added.
During the investigative actions, vehicles, financial documents, draft records, and over 18.4 million UAH in cash in various currencies were seized. The origin of the funds is being established. A separate legal assessment will be provided regarding possible signs of laundering proceeds obtained through crime
