Due to the SSU and ESBU’s investigation into corruption schemes of the former management of PJSC Ukrnafta and PJSC Ukrtatnafta, Ukraine’s budget will be replenished with another UAH 687 mln (USD 18 mln).

The current management of PJSC Ukrtatnafta will transfer this amount to the state in form of taxes not paid by the former owners.

The company’s former director, who is currently in custody, has been served another notice of suspicion of tax evasion.

Earlier, the law enforcement had exposed Ukrtatnafta’s management on a different fact of tax evasion: UAH 605 mln, which have already been paid to the state.

These funds have been allocated for the needs of the Defence Forces.

Previous management of this company sold fuel through its network of gas stations without paying the excise tax, although this fee was included in the price for consumers.

The investigation is ongoing to establish all the circumstances of the unlawful activity and bring the involved to justice.

The investigation is carried out under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor General’s Office.
