The director of a state-owned distillery is suspected of evading taxes amounting to 2.5 billion UAH, according to the State Bureau of Investigation.

The director of the state-owned distillery "Oktyabrsky" in the Poltava region is suspected of intentionally evading tax payments. This was reported on January 22 by the State Bureau of Investigation of Ukraine.
Директор государственного спиртзавода подозревается в уклонении от уплаты налогов на сумму 2,5 млрд грн, сообщают в ГБР.

The investigation considers him involved in the illegal production and sale of excise goods.

"From 2020 to 2023, the plant manufactured and sold alcohol-containing products for various purposes. By deliberately misclassifying the products, they evaded excise taxes amounting to nearly 2.5 billion UAH," law enforcement officials stated.

They claim that the operations of the distillery were effectively controlled through the director by an unnamed owner of one of the commercial entities.

The director of the enterprise has been charged under part 3 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional evasion of tax payments in large amounts by a group of individuals).
