SAPO completes case against ex-PGO prosecutor Kulyk
The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office has completed a pre-trial investigation into the case of former Deputy Head of the Department of the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine, Konstantin Kulik, who is suspected of aiding and abetting abuses by officials of the State Fiscal Service, which led to budget losses of over UAH 641 million. The SAPO reported this.
According to the investigation, the company appealed the tax decision of the State Fiscal Service. The First Deputy Head of the State Fiscal Service, who was supposed to make a decision based on the results of the complaint review, in the interests of this business entity and with the complicity of the suspect, did not sign the finished project within the specified time.
On the day of the end of the consideration period, the prosecutor requested the inspection materials, which, according to the investigation, made it impossible to make a decision due to the lack of documents. As a result, the complaint was automatically satisfied, and the budget lost the opportunity to collect taxes and penalties in the amount of more than 641 million UAH.
The actions of the former owner were qualified under Part 5 of Article 27, Part 2 of Article 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The materials of the proceedings were opened to the defense for review.
Konstantin Kulyk is a suspect in the EBK database.
It recently became known that Kostyantyn Kulyk appealed his arrest in absentia in the context of the case of embezzlement of UAH 641 million. An in absentia investigation will be conducted against him.
