The Bureau of Economic Security reported
about serving two suspicions and conducting 35 searches in
companies controlled by one of the largest converters in Ukraine. On the BES website, he is called the "king of the cash," UNN reports.
According to a source in the
law enforcement agencies, this is the "Strelok" - Vyacheslav Strelkovsky, who was previously included in the
the list of the largest money launderers in Ukraine, and later the President deprived him of
of his citizenship.
The BES reports that, according to analysts, the volume of
of financial transactions with VAT of the above-mentioned group of companies for 2020-2023 will amount to UAH 21 billion
UAH. Detectives are currently taking measures to establish the final amount of
of the damage caused to the budget, but experts have already confirmed the amount of
of UAH 767 million.

The investigation covers the period of
2020 - 2023, while the VAT fraud scheme was in place, despite the constant
renewal of the tax authority's leadership. The Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on
Finance, Taxation and Customs Policy, Danylo
Hetmantsev reported,
that the tax authorities have stopped most of the systemic schemes of VAT abuse that
that took place under the previous government. However, with the change of leadership in the STS, only
only one company that provided the fake tax credit to Strelkovsky's
credit to Strelkovsky's companies was blocked, while the rest of his
companies continued to operate.
In his
investigation, blogger Sergey Ivanov
attributes this to the support of Strelok's conversion centers by
Hetmantsev, who is considered to be the shadow curator of the tax service.
In his latest investigation, Ivanov
accused the MP of systematic schemes with the taxes of his own companies, unofficial
management of the tax service and cooperation with Strelkovsky and the king of smuggling
Alperin.
