Reportedly, officials created artificial conditions for an unscheduled inspection of a private enterprise. After that, they told the company's director that he could avoid the inspection for half a million hryvnias.
To do this, he had to enter into a fictitious agreement to purchase goods from a certain organization and transfer the agreed amount to its account.
