⚠️Tobacco, banks, and strategic assets: four new episodes from duty-free to moving funds abroad
▪️ It was established that a citizen of the Republic of Belarus #Гранц Artur, in collusion with officials of the State Tax Service, the State Customs Service, the State Border Guard Service, the SBU, the National Police, and the State Bureau of Investigation, having involved #Лапоног Roman Mykhailovych, Ford Simon, #Мегединюк Ihor Vasylovych and #Петкевич Andriy Pavlovych, formed a criminal group for smuggling and illegally selling tobacco and alcohol through a network of duty-free shops.
The goods were documented as purchased by airport passengers but were in fact transported to illegal retail outlets, including in the EU. Sales were made in cash, which made it possible to artificially create tax credit and subsequently sell it to other companies to evade taxes and launder funds.
The Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Chernivtsi, by ruling No. 727/12036/26, obliged authorized officials of the SBU Directorate in Chernivtsi region to enter the corresponding information into the Unified Register of Pretrial Investigations (ERDR).
▪️ It was established that #Астіон V.M., #Хомутиннік V.Yu. and #Фірташ D.V., having involved controlled entities (LLC “TRC RESPUBLIKA”, PJSC “CB “NADRA”, LLC “INTER WAY CAPITAL” and others), formed a criminal group to seize bank funds by bringing PJSC “CB “NADRA” to insolvency.
Control over LLC “INTER WAY CAPITAL” was established through an artificial change of jurisdiction and the creation of fictitious creditor debt in the amount of 123,64 million UAH, which became the basis for initiating a controlled bankruptcy. Subsequently, assets, including the shopping and entertainment center “Respublika Park,” were legalized through a network of controlled and affiliated companies.
The Solomianskyi District Court of Kyiv, by ruling
No. 760/19600/26 obliged authorized officials of the SBU Main Directorate in Kyiv and Kyiv region to enter the corresponding information into the ERDR.

LLC “TEDIS UKRAINA” was used as the primary distributor, while the profitable activities were gradually transferred to the related LLC “DL SOLUTION”; LLC “KAVTON GROUP” was used to artificially generate a negative VAT balance in the amount of more than 722 million UAH.
As a result, LLC “TEDIS UKRAINA” accumulated debt of 588,86 million UAH and went bankrupt, and funds were moved abroad, including to the Russian Federation.
The Prymorskyi District Court of Odesa, by ruling No. 522/17105/26, obliged authorized officials of the Prymorska District Prosecutor’s Office of Odesa to enter the corresponding information into the ERDR.

The scheme provided for bypassing sanctions through the formal divestment of assets previously owned by #Рабіновичу V.Z., while retaining de facto control over them; laundering proceeds through investment and medical projects; operating a network of call centers to fraudulently seize citizens’ funds and an online gambling network to accumulate and move capital abroad, in particular to the UAE.
