The State Bureau of Investigation has opened criminal proceedings against the former acting head of the State Tax Service of Ukraine, Tetyana Kiriyenko, for failing to comply with a court decision. UNN learned about this from its own sources in law enforcement agencies.
Criminal proceedings against Tatiana Kiriyenko were opened on August 29, 2024 under Part 3 of Article 382 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional failure to execute a court decision by an official, which caused significant damage to the rights and freedoms of citizens protected by law, state or public interests or the interests of legal entities).
The penalty for such a violation is imprisonment for a term of 3 to 8 years with disqualification to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for up to 3 years.
According to UNN, Tetiana Kiriyenko, while acting as the head of the State Tax Service of Ukraine, did not reinstate the acting head of the State Tax Service in Khmelnytsky region, who was dismissed in early 2024, despite a court decision.
It is worth noting that after the change of leadership of the State Tax Service of Ukraine at the end of 2024, Tetiana Kiriyenko was dismissed from the tax service. According to media reports, she was fully controlled by Danylo Hetmantsev, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Taxation and Customs Policy.
