The attackers appropriated the “tax limit” owned by Ukrainian companies under temporary occupation.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) exposed the dealers who stole more than 150 million hryvnias from Ukrainian companies under the temporary occupation of the Russian Federation. The SBU press center reported this on Monday, March 28.
SBU cyber experts found that State Tax Service officials were involved in the scam. Ukrainian businessmen lost more than 150 million hryvnias because of the officials.
The scheme consisted of VAT fraud: businessmen allocated “tax limits” belonging to Ukrainian companies under temporary employment. Thus, they got the right to pay less than their own VAT and earn tens of millions of hryvnias from it.
“It was established that the head of the department for the prevention and detection of corruption of the Main Department of the State Tax Service in the Dnipropetrovsk region and two of his subordinate colleagues were involved in illegal activities,” said report.
Traders in the electronic cabinets of taxpayers of temporary idle enterprises in the occupied territories registered fictitious business transactions with affiliated commercial structures.
Three officers and two of their accomplices were charged with suspicion under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:
-
theft committed on a particularly large scale (part 5 of article 185);
-
unauthorized actions with information processed in electronic computers (computers), automatic systems, computer networks or stored on the media of such information, made by a person who has the right to access it (part 3 of article 362).
Recall that the SBU exposed a pro-Russian agitator in Ivano-Frankivsk. The female doctor supported the “liberation of territories occupied by neo-Nazis” and campaigned on the banned Russian social network Odnoklassniki.
