The investigation established that in Lviv, a local resident, without registering as a business entity, organized illegal currency exchange activities. As a result, during the period of 2023-2024, the man did not declare the income received and did not reflect approximately 26 million UAH in his tax reporting.

As a result of these actions, more than 5 million UAH in personal income tax and military levy did not reach the state budget.

During the pre-trial investigation in the criminal proceedings registered under Part 1 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, the damages were fully compensated.

The pre-trial investigation was conducted by detectives of the territorial department of the Bureau of Economic Security in the Lviv region.

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 guilty verdict of the court.
