The Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine (BES) has served a notice of suspicion to a company director who, according to preliminary data, embezzled more than UAH 33 million from the country's budget. According to the investigation, the company's director signed an agreement for the export of biofertilizers with a buyer from Estonia, but instead of the promised goods, the containers contained water.
Expert examinations conducted during the pre-trial investigation confirmed this fact. In addition, it was established that the company submitted false data on the goods supplied, which served as the basis for claims for budgetary refunds of value added tax in the amount of more than UAH 33.6 million.
The director of the company was served a notice of suspicion under Part 5 of Article 191 (fraud) and Part 1 of Article 366 (forgery) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The court imposed on him a preventive measure in the form of a personal commitment.
At the same time, the director of the biofertilizer plant with which the joint agreement was concluded was also served a notice of suspicion of committing a criminal offense under Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Since the suspect is abroad, detectives are taking the necessary measures to serve him a notice of suspicion in the framework of international cooperation.
Prosecutors of the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine provide procedural guidance in the proceedings.
