Philip Pronin Told me about a month of work as head of the State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine.
“Only the first approach to analyzing the situation revealed violations of tax legislation worth billions of hryvnias. We are passing all this information on to law enforcement agencies. The need to strengthen control over the use of state and local budget funds and the activities of high-ranking officials has been identified. The misuse of funds by charitable foundations has been exposed. Special attention is paid to the activities of municipal institutions in large cities, on which the well-being of the population depends.” – noted Philip Pronin.
Given the secrecy of the investigation, Pronin reported without details about the main areas of the department's work:
— Active work is being carried out to search for and block criminal proceeds abroad. Together with the National Police, an investigation is continuing into the criminal actions of one of the oligarchs and related persons, in particular the embezzlement of 6 billion UAH by the state-owned company Ukrtatnafta. As a result of the measures taken, millions of euros were discovered and blocked abroad.
— Work with the State Tax Service of Ukraine has been intensified in terms of countering tax "swindlers" who provide "scheme VAT" services and hidden conversion. There are already first results and millions of hryvnias have been blocked.
— An investigation is underway into the receipt of illegal benefits by a People's Deputy of Ukraine for politically "covering up" the embezzlement of local budget funds with the assistance of one of the mayors of a millionaire city.
— Facts have been established regarding the false declaration of income by top officials. Work with the State Bureau of Investigation has been intensified to identify facts of concealment of wealth by high-ranking officials. In addition, special attention is paid to the sources of origin of funds from which the relevant assets were acquired.
— A Charitable Foundation was discovered that misused charitable contributions by purchasing expensive assets. Also, a Charitable Foundation was discovered that helps real businesses evade taxes, and then uses it as its own wallet through related individuals.
— Active work is being carried out to identify the assets of sanctioned individuals who contribute to Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine, finance Russian religious organizations, and individuals who help circumvent the applied sanctions.
— We are also intensifying our work with the NBU to improve supervision of banking institutions that improperly comply with anti-money laundering requirements and turn a blind eye to illegal transactions by companies under their control.
