Prosecutors of the Office of the Attorney General have sent an indictment to the court against the director of a limited liability company specializing in natural gas extraction and trading in gaseous fuels, for tax evasion and official forgery (Part 3 of Article 212, Part 1 of Article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The head of the company did not reflect in the tax accounting the payment received from another company for the supply of gas. As a result, he understated the value-added tax liabilities, which led to a shortfall in the budget of almost 8 million UAH.

The pre-trial investigation in the criminal proceedings was conducted by detectives of the Bureau of Economic Security.

Note: according to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in a lawful manner and established by a court verdict.
