Former Deputy Head of State Tax Service Suspected of Abuse of Power: Damage Amounts to 641 Million Hryvnias

The NABU has filed charges against Serhiy Bilan, former Deputy Head of the State Tax Service. According to the investigation, his actions led to a loss of 641 million hryvnias for the state.

Tax Manipulations

The investigation claims that Bilan deliberately blocked a decision on tax payment, as a result of which the taxpayer was able to automatically win the appeal. The state budget failed to receive hundreds of millions of hryvnias.

Hidden Scheme

To avoid liability, the official allegedly simulated the inability to sign the document, concealing the true reasons for the delay.

Court Proceedings

At present, the court has set bail for Bilan at nearly 10 million hryvnias. Further investigation will determine whether he will face punishment for abuse of authority.
