  • Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office and Bureau of Economic Security reported uncovering a criminal organization whose alleged schemes handled about 500 million hryvnias each month.
  • Preliminary law enforcement data put the total volume of financial transactions at 23.5 billion hryvnias and potential tax evasion at about 3 billion hryvnias.
  • Investigators conducted 50 searches, seized millions in cash and served scheme participants with notices of suspicion.

Detectives from the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine, or BEB, working under the procedural supervision of prosecutors from the Prosecutor General’s Office, or PGO, reported uncovering a large-scale “conversion center.” According to the investigation, about 500 million hryvnias passed through its shadow schemes each month.

Preliminary law enforcement data put the total volume of financial transactions at 23.5 billion hryvnias. Investigators said funds were siphoned off partly through cryptocurrency transactions, while the preliminarily established amount of tax evasion was about 3 billion hryvnias.

Law enforcement officers conducted 50 searches as part of the criminal proceedings and seized millions in cash. Scheme participants were also served with notices of suspicion.

The PGO and BEB have not disclosed further details about how the alleged scheme operated. Law enforcement officials said they would provide additional information later.

Under Article 62 of Ukraine’s Constitution, a person is presumed innocent and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment unless guilt is proved according to law and established by a court verdict.
