Employees of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine informed about the suspicion of the representative of the national football team of Ukraine in the commission of a criminal offense provided for in Part 3 of Art. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — tax evasion in particularly large amounts.
BEB detectives established that in the period 2016-2018, the suspect received more than UAH 100 million. Acting deliberately, the offender hid his income, as a result of which he evaded payment of personal income tax in the amount of almost 16 million hryvnias and military duty in the amount of more than 1 million hryvnias.
In 2018, already being registered as an individual entrepreneur, he hid the real amount of income and deliberately evaded the payment of a single tax for more than UAH 1 million.
The total amount of unpaid funds to the budget of Ukraine is more than UAH 18.2 million.
Pre-trial investigation of criminal proceedings on the grounds of offenses provided for in Part 3 of Art. 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (legalization of property obtained through criminal means) and Part 3 of Art. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (tax evasion) is carried out by detectives of the main detective unit of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine under the procedural guidance of prosecutors of the Prosecutor General's Office.
