The head of the capital company, a well-known blogger, was informed of the suspicion of deliberate tax evasion in the amount of more than UAH 200 million, as well as the legalization of property obtained through criminal means.
According to the investigation, from January 2020 to August 2023, the blogger, carrying out unregistered business activities, received unjustified income in cryptocurrency in the amount of more than a billion hryvnias. He converted these funds into cryptocurrency using payment systems and electronic wallets registered to him and authorized persons, after which he processed them at currency exchange points in Kyiv and other cities. The funds received in this way were not reflected in the declarations of property and income, and taxes were not paid on them. The blogger used part of these funds to purchase luxury real estate and premium cars, issuing them to his relatives and trusted persons.
This case is another example of the use of cryptocurrencies to hide income and avoid taxation. Tax evasion is a serious crime subject to criminal liability under the legislation of Ukraine. The pre-trial investigation in this case is conducted by detectives of the Bureau of Economic Security, and law enforcement officers continue to work to identify other persons involved in this scheme.
Further developments in this case may have a significant impact on the practice of using cryptocurrencies in business and strengthening control over financial transactions.
He was also investigated by journalists of “Української правди“
And he expressed his position in an interview in “RAMINA“
