The Office of the Prosecutor General has announced the exposure of a criminal scheme involving the illegal import of diamonds and exclusive jewellery from the United Arab Emirates into Ukraine. According to the investigation, a current employee of the Zakarpattia Customs was involved in this activity.
According to investigation data, the abuses took place between 2022 and 2026. The customs officer and his wife organised the movement of valuables across the state border, concealing them from customs control. This approach allowed the participants in the scheme to avoid paying the customs duties prescribed by law.
The jewellery, including items with rare natural diamonds, was sold under their own brand. To sell the goods, the organisers used a jewellery boutique located in Kyiv and owned by them.
During investigative actions, law enforcement officers searched a car, a workshop, and the aforementioned Kyiv boutique. As a result of these measures, precious stones and jewellery items were seized, with an estimated value exceeding one million dollars.
Pre-trial investigation has been opened on charges of abuse of authority or official position, as well as smuggling of goods. The actions are qualified under Part 2 of Article 364 and Part 2 of Article 201-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
After the completion of expert examinations, investigators will determine the final amount of damage caused to the state and decide on notifying the persons involved of suspicion. The investigation is currently ongoing. In accordance with Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is considered innocent until their guilt is proven by a guilty verdict of a court.
