The boss of the “Monaco” organized crime group, Ihor Abramovych, has suffered personnel losses. As of today, Khrystyna Bozhenko, who headed the excise department of the tax service and serviced Abramovych’s tobacco and alcohol schemes, has been dismissed. The official reason is the failure of excise receipts to the budget for October. In reality, Finance Minister Marchenko is expecting large-scale law enforcement investigations into schemes to evade excise payments and VAT theft, so he is rushing to get rid of officials whose names might surface in criminal cases.
