Former MP: Acting Deputy Head of the State Tax Service Sokur coordinates all personnel appointments in the tax service with Hetmantsev

Acting Deputy Head of the State Tax Service Yevhen Sokur coordinates appointments in the agency with the head of the Rada's tax committee, Danylo Hetmantsev. This opinion was expressed in an exclusive commentary to UNN by former MP Ihor Mosiychuk.

Earlier, the Security Service of Ukraine reported that the acting deputy head of the Main Department of the State Tax Service in Kyiv was detained for bribery. According to media reports, this is Dmytro Nefyodov, a protege of the acting deputy head of the State Tax Service, Yevhen Sokur.

Yes, he (Nefyodov - ed.) is Sokur's protege. Sokur's issue is not Sokur's issue. Sokur is Hetmantsev's pound, and the whole tax mafia is focused on Hetmantsev, he runs it and he manages it. And the sixes that Sokur appoints, he also approves them. There is no doubt about it,

According to him, the situation has now begun to change, as the scheme of shadow influence on the tax authorities has begun to collapse. According to Mosiychuk, this became possible, among other things, thanks to a number of journalistic investigations.

Other law enforcement agencies not entirely controlled by Hetmantsev began to take (detain - ed.) their people, including customs and tax authorities. Well, I'll tell you what - pay attention to the Khmelnytsky region, it's going to be fun there. There, the head of the tax office has turned against Sokur and Hetmantsev, and they can't fire her,

It is worth noting that in February of this year, the leadership of the State Tax Service tried to dismiss Iryna Zelenko from her position as head of the Khmelnytsky Oblast Tax Department. However, the staff defended her. At the same time, according to Mosiychuk, the tax authorities are selling people's personal data. He added that this was confirmed, among other things, by investigations by journalists who bought such databases on air.
