Its organizers managed to transfer almost UAH 72 million into cash. According to the press service of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine, during the investigation of the criminal case, a group of individuals was established that operated on the territory of the region and during 2016 and 4 months in 2017 provided enterprises with services for forming an illegal tax credit and transferring non-cash funds to cash.

Attackers also created and registered a number of fictitious and transit companies for themselves and their front men, whose accounts received non-cash funds. Mostly these were firms that bought building materials and performed construction work, the GFS explained, adding that the organizers subsequently withdrew funds as an interest-free loan on a return basis at the cash office of a branch of one of the commercial banks and handed over to customers for a fee of 6- 12% and 12-17%.

Thus, the total amount of converted funds for 16 months amounted to almost 72 million hryvnia.

Police conducted nine searches in office premises and at the place of residence of the defendants. There were seized 448 thousand hryvnia in cash, 12 seals, computer equipment, flash drives, mobile phones, blank forms with seals, check books, accounting documentation and rough records. On the bank accounts of companies that were part of the conversion center, blocked 200 thousand hryvnia.
