🚨 Million-dollar undervaluation during import: Lotto and Zeus sports equipment entered Ukraine with forged documents

The court transferred materials to the State Bureau of Economic Security (SBES) regarding the head of LLC “ML-TRADING,” Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Cherkashyn, who organized a scheme to import branded clothing and footwear from Europe worth nearly 5 million UAH by falsifying values and details.

In October 2024 a truck carrying a large shipment of sports goods from the well-known brands Lotto and Zeus entered Ukraine through the Chop-Zahony border crossing. The total gross weight exceeded 5 tons (493 packages: bags, backpacks, tracksuits, sneakers, balls, etc.).

However, during inspection customs compared the Ukrainian documents with data from their European counterparts. It turned out that the actual value of the cargo according to Italian export declarations was 68 715 euros and 45 356 US dollars. Instead, the head of the importing company LLC “ML-TRADING,” Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Cherkashyn, provided Ukrainian customs with different documents under which the value of the goods was artificially lowered and amounted to 45 073 US dollars. The total value of the shipment reached 4 925 456,45 UAH. Moreover, the Italian documents listed entirely different companies as senders and recipients than those named in the Ukrainian declarations.

Because the company director’s actions clearly show signs of a criminal offense, the Solomianskyi District Court of Kyiv granted the defense’s motion and transferred the case materials to the Territorial Department of the SBES in Kyiv. A criminal proceeding is now being investigated there under part 2 of article 201-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (smuggling and manipulation of customs value).

This was reported by the Telegram channel “Sudom po skhemakh” citing case No. 760/15823/26 dated 16.10.2026.

🚨 Мільйонне заниження під час імпорту: спортивне екіпірування Lotto та Zeus їхало в Україну за підробленими документами

Суд передав БЕБ матеріали щодо керівника ТОВ «МЛ-ТРЕЙДИНГ» Черкашина Володимира Олександровича, який організував схему імпорту брендового одягу та взуття з Європи на майже 5 млн грн із фальсифікацією вартості та реквізитів.

У жовтні 2024 року через пункт пропуску «Чоп-Захонь» на митну територію України заїхала вантажівка з величезною партією спортивних товарів відомих брендів Lotto та Zeus. Загальна вага брутто становила понад 5 тонн (493 пакування: сумки, рюкзаки, костюми, кросівки, м'ячі тощо).

Проте під час перевірки митники зіставили українські документи з даними від європейських колег. З'ясувалося, що реальна вартість вантажу за італійськими експортними деклараціями становила 68 715 євро та 45 356 доларів США. Натомість керівник компанії-імпортера ТОВ «МЛ-ТРЕЙДИНГ» Черкашин Володимир Олександрович надав українській митниці інші документи, за якими вартість товару була штучно занижена й складала 45 073 долари США. Загальна вартість партії сягнула 4 925 456,45 грн. Ба більше, в італійських документах відправниками та одержувачами значилися зовсім інші компанії, аніж ті, що подали декларації в Україні.

Оскільки в діях керівника компанії чітко простежуються ознаки кримінального правопорушення, Солом'янський районний суд міста Києва задовольнив клопотання захисту та передав матеріали справи до Територіального управління БЕБ у м. Києві. Там уже розслідується кримінальне провадження за ч. 2 ст. 201-3 КК України (контрабанда та маніпуляції з митною вартістю).

Про це повідомляє телеграм-канал "Судом по схемах" з посиланням на справу № 760/15823/26 від 16.10.2026.

And this is probably the most interesting episode of the financial committee meeting on the cryptocurrency law. The only body opposing the proposed format of legalization turned out to be the NBU. But the Regulator is not so much against the law as against the fact that its role in regulating this market is not defined as key. In simple terms, the NBU demands a monopoly on decisions on this issue, despite the fact that the National Securities and Stock Market Commission has been rightfully desig...
