Former MP Makeyenko was informed of suspicion of tax evasion

Suspicion of tax evasion was presented to former people’s deputy of several convocations, Volodymyr Makeyenko.

This was reported by the State Bureau of Investigations and the Office of the Prosecutor General.

According to the investigation, the former people’s deputy, contrary to legislative restrictions, created a network of companies abroad, registered either to him, or to persons under his control, as well as to close relatives. He practically managed their economic activities. These companies, among other things, received financial funds of dubious origin into their bank accounts, which were then transferred to the accounts of the former MP. Subsequently, he disposed of these funds at his discretion, placing them under deposit terms.

During the period from 2011 to 2018, the suspect received an income in the total amount of 387.6 million UAH, which was subject to taxation. However, he concealed the fact of receiving this income and did not declare it in tax reporting. As a result, personal income tax and military levy were not accrued and paid into the state budget.

The deputy did not pay personal income tax and military levy on these funds in the total amount of 71.4 million UAH.

People’s deputy of Ukraine of the I, III-VII convocations, formerly the deputy head of the Party of Regions faction and head of the Kyiv City State Administration, Makeyenko is suspected of tax evasion, which led to the actual non-receipt of funds into the budget in particularly large amounts (part 3 of article 212 of the Criminal Code).
