SBU exposes former deputy head of State Fiscal Service in UAH 1.5 billion laundering scheme

The Security Service of Ukraine, together with the prosecutor’s office, eliminated a large-scale scheme for the legalization of criminal proceeds organized by the former deputy chairman of the State Fiscal Service.

The SBU press service reported this.

According to the investigation, in 2023–2025, the criminals laundered more than UAH 1.5 billion , most of which was stolen from the state budget. The organizer acted under the guise of a lawyer and created a conversion center, to whose work he attracted four accomplices — accountants and the head of an affiliated company.

The clients of the scheme were commercial structures that carried out contracts for budget institutions and illegally appropriated state funds. Dozens of fictitious firms were created to disguise the transactions.

The office of the criminal group operated in Kyiv. During the searches, law enforcement officers seized cash, seals, bank cards, computer equipment and financial documents with evidence of transactions.

All five participants are notified of suspicion under Articles 212 and 209 of the Criminal Code. They face up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
