Over 2 billion in budget losses: how Helzin’s tobacco factory avoided taxes for years under the protection of the powerful
While the former owner of the football club Olimpik and notorious businessman Vladyslav #Гельзін tears around Monaco in a Ferrari, his tobacco empire in Ukraine is leaving billion-hryvnia holes in the state treasury.
❗️The State Bureau of Economic Security (BEB) has finally taken on LLC Ukrainian Tobacco Production with EDRPOU 41519237, which operated in the settlement of Hoshcha in the Rivne region. According to the investigation, the company declared millions on paper, but during searches law enforcement found only shattered equipment and bare walls. Instead of hundreds of tons of tobacco in warehouses there were pitiful remnants, and the state lost over 💰2,3 billion hryvnias in excise tax. Tax and forensic economic examinations confirmed massive losses, and the factory director has already been notified of suspicion.
But the most interesting things were hidden not in the warehouses, but in bank safe deposit boxes. During a search at PrivatBank on Mykhailo Hrushevskyi Street, detectives seized 180 thousand US dollars. 🤷♂️These funds belonged to the chief accountant, who kept shadow accounting and coordinated illegal financial flows directly with the shadow beneficiary and investor Helzin.
Our team has been warning about this large-scale scheme for years. We documented in detail how, under the wing of influential politicians and security officials, this business freely produced counterfeit goods, ignoring Ukrainian laws. While certain individuals provided political cover in Kyiv, the structure successfully moved assets out and duplicated companies in occupied Crimea, playing both sides of the war.
We will not stop and demand real prison terms, not paper dismissals. ✅Our official statements have already become the basis for new criminal proceedings, in particular
🔻To the State Bureau of Investigation (DBR) in Kramatorsk No. 62026050030000547 under part 1 of article 365 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine
🔻To the Criminal Investigation Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Donetsk region No.12026050000000718 under part 2 of article 199 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine
Mr. Tsyvinsky, did the BEB truly not notice these glaring facts?
