Owner of Attico and “Zlata” shoe chains in Lviv released from liability
Lychakivskyi District Court of Lviv released Mykola Ihorovych Savka — owner of the trademarks “Zlata,” “Attico,” and “Akvās” and a chain of shoe stores in Lviv and the region — from criminal liability. The court closed proceedings under part 2 of art. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (evasion of tax payment on a large scale), since the entrepreneur fully compensated the damage caused to the state.
In 2025, Savka used a “business fragmentation” scheme. He engaged sole proprietors on the simplified tax system (mostly employees of his stores), to whose accounts funds from the sale of shoes and leather goods were deposited. In fact, all 7 Attico stores and 14 Zlata stores were controlled by one person.
BEB analysts found that the VAT tax base was understated by approximately 52,9 million UAH. The unpaid tax amounted to 10,57 million hryvnias.
Savka admitted guilt, paid the entire amount of the tax arrears to the budget before being held liable, and voluntarily transferred 500 thousand UAH to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On this basis the court applied part 4 of art. 212 of the Criminal Code and released him from liability.
The court also lifted the seizures on property seized during the search on 7 September 2026 (phones, laptops, documents, cash, etc.) and ordered it returned to the owners.
Savka is the owner of the Attico and “Zlata” brands. The network operates in Lviv and Lviv region and has a shared loyalty system. The entrepreneur has been registered as a sole proprietor since 2011.
