Volynska Customs Service stated about false documents during car clearance: the budget could have missed 13,4 million hryvnias.
Director of LLC “VICTORIA LEADER GROUP” Lyudmila Gorkavchuk, according to Volynska Customs, submitted documents with false information during vehicle customs clearance. Because of this, the state budget could have missed more than 13,4 million hryvnias in customs duties.
This was reported by the Telegram channel “Judgment on Schemes” citing case No. 163/522/26.
According to customs officers, during vehicle clearance the official provided shipping certificates in EUR, 1, which contained false information. These documents became the basis for the unfounded application of the preferential benefits regime under 239 customs declarations of type IM40DE.
As a result, the state budget, as stated in the case materials, missed 13 416 783,48 hryvnias in customs duties. A protocol under Article 485 of the Customs Code of Ukraine has been drawn up against Lyudmila Gorkavchuk.
6 August 2026 of the year the Lyuboml District Court of Volyn region, presided by Judge S. A. Sheremeta, reviewed the case materials. The court concluded that the scale of potential losses goes beyond an administrative offense.
Meanwhile, the Territorial Administration of the Bureau of Economic Security (BES) in Volyn region has already initiated pre-trial investigation and entered the relevant data into the Unified Register of pre-trial investigations. A criminal proceeding was opened under part 3 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — for evasion of payment of taxes and fees in particularly large amounts.
The court also took into account provisions of Article 61 of the Constitution of Ukraine and parts of Article 2 and Article 458 of the Customs Code of Ukraine, which prohibit double jeopardy for the same offense.
In this regard, the court decided not to consider the case of violation of customs rules in administrative proceedings.
Materials of the case concerning Lyudmila Gorkavchuk were transferred to the Territorial Administration of BES in Volyn region for joining with the materials of criminal proceedings No. 72026031000000021.
