Position : former acting head of the Main Department of the State Tax Service in Kyiv.
The sphere of corrupt activity : fraud with VAT.
Qualification: a criminal case has been opened regarding possible illegal enrichment.
Status: The State Bureau of Investigation refused to say whether it had announced the suspicion of acting the head of the tax service of Kyiv, Oksana Datiy, whose crimes were "exposed" by the security forces.
The plot of the case: on February 1, 2023, employees of the State Security Bureau exposed the head of the tax office of Kyiv for multimillion-dollar embezzlement. Through her proxies, Datiy implemented schemes for artificially inflating gross costs by some enterprises, conducting business without registering a sole proprietorship, and submitting inaccurate income information.
According to expert estimates, more than 15 billion hryvnias fell into shadow circulation.
In another episode, the management of the DPS State Administration in Kyiv is involved in schemes for illegally obtaining VAT refunds, as a result of which more than 30 billion hryvnias fell into shadow circulation.
Tax officials "do not notice" these schemes, support their existence or directly participate in them for systematically receiving payment for their "services".
Lifestyle: According to law enforcement officers, Datiy has 3 apartments in Kyiv with a total value of approximately $1 million, a house near Kyiv worth approximately $200,000, and two cars valued at approximately $150,000.
During the searches, the law enforcement officers found 158 thousand dollars, 530 thousand UAH and 2.2 thousand euros in Datia.
The official uses expensive jewelry, exclusively expensive branded clothes, gold watches and other elite things.
By the way, the dress with a white lace collar, in which Oksana Datiy was photographed for the profile on the website of the tax inspectorate, is probably from Dolce&Gabbana. It costs around UAH 42,000.
The scandalous Russian TV presenter Margarita Simonyan has the same one.
Scandals : In addition, Datiy became famous throughout Ukraine when, during a search, the SBI found her wish lists for the New Year 2018 and 2021.
For example, in 2018, Datia dreamed of a promotion, a sable fur coat, a trip to London and a birthday gift from her lover - a Breguet watch.
And already in 2021, the official asked Santa Claus for the position of acting head of the tax service of the capital.
But she still wanted to relax with her husband in London and the Maldives, and Datia dreamed of earning 1 million dollars, which she later received. However, it is doubtful whether it was done legally.
