Mass arrests of former officials in Ukraine
Law enforcement officers, together with military prosecutors, carried out about 400 searches at the oblast Revenue and Duties Directorates in 15 oblasts of Ukraine.
This is Ukraine's first simultaneous detention of such a number of senior officials who will all be sent to court at the same time. Their criminal activity caused the state losses of UAH 96 billion.
In particular, they detained the so-called "overseer" of the entire business of oligarch Serhii Kurchenko – Lieutenant General Stanislav Denysiuk.
In addition, Matios noted that a total of 23 senior officials were detained: the former head of the Luhansk tax administration Antipov, as well as the former heads of the Ministry of Revenues in Dnipropetrovsk and Luhansk oblasts, the head of the Tax Service of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the heads of tax inspectorates of almost all districts of Kyiv, the deputy head of the Poltava tax administration, the deputy head of the Ministry of Revenues in Kharkiv Oblast, and the head of the Poltava tax office.
