The Bureau of Economic Security provided details of an operation to dismantle a network of conversion centers with a turnover of 500 million hryvnias per month.
The network included 97 fictitious companies and more than eight thousand individual entrepreneurs (FOPs); more than 40 people were involved in its activities.
200 real businesses used the services of the conversion centers.
Client companies transferred funds to accounts of controlled companies allegedly for goods, works, or services that did not actually exist.
The operations were not recorded in accounting records or tax reports.
The money was later distributed among other controlled accounts. Some was converted into cryptocurrency and then into cash through a network of collection and payout points.
The funds obtained were distributed among the scheme participants and the client companies.
The network operated in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, and elsewhere. Over three years of operation the “conversion centers” laundered 23,5 billion hryvnias.
During searches, the perpetrators had over 130 million hryvnias seized in various currencies.
Six participants have already been notified of suspicion for:
🔹 sec. 1, 2 of article 255 (creating and leading a criminal organization);
🔹 sec. 3 of article 209 (money laundering);
🔹 sec. 2 of article 205–1 (forgery of documents to register an individual entrepreneur or legal entity);
🔹 sec. 2 of article 200 (illegal actions with documents for transfers);
🔹 sec. 1 of article 366 (official forgery) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
