This operation was coordinated together with the Office of the Prosecutor General.
In Ukraine, a “conversion center” was exposed, through which about 500 million hryvnias passed each month, the director of the Bureau of Economic Security, Oleksandr Tsyvinskyi, said.
“That was a case where the participants in the criminal scheme ended up with a plan not going as expected. We are talking about ‘envelopes’ with an estimated monthly turnover of almost 500 million UAH. From 2023 year through them, 23,5 billion UAH have 'flowed'. Tax evasion could amount to about 3 billion UAH,” he wrote in his official Telegram channel.
Tsyvinskyi noted that the BEB, together with the Office of the Prosecutor General, carried out a large-scale operation during which 50 searches were conducted in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odesa, and cash worth millions of hryvnias was seized.
“Participants in the scheme have already been notified of suspicions,” he added, noting that details of the operation would be disclosed on Monday.
Earlier, the BEB exposed a large conversion center with turnover up to 18 billion UAH that serviced hundreds of enterprises across Ukraine and was connected to international financial channels. For its operation, a wide network of controlled companies and individual entrepreneurs was used to form a fake tax credit.
