The general director of a local brewing company was detained in Ulyanovsk on suspicion of tax evasion and other crimes. This was reported on December 10 by the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee (ICS) of the Russian Federation in the Samara region.

The man is accused under item "b" part 2 of article 199 of the Criminal code of the Russian Federation ("Tax evasion, on a large scale"), item "b" part 4 of article 174.1 of the Criminal code of the Russian Federation ("Legalization of money acquired by criminal means on a large scale"), part 1 of article 187 of the Criminal code of the Russian Federation ("Illegal turnover of payment means").

As established by the investigation, from 2017 to 2022, the suspect evaded taxes totaling more than 3 billion rubles. He provided the tax authority with declarations with knowingly false information included therein.

"In order to reduce the taxable base in the specified period, fictitious contracts were concluded with counterparties and primary accounting documents were drawn up, on the basis of which the amount of the taxable base was understated and expenses on transactions were overstated. Funds were transferred to the accounts of organizations on the basis of forged documents," the IC said in a statement published in its Telegram channel.

Also the suspect on behalf of controlled organizations carried out various transactions with money and legalized money by criminal means.

It is specified that the suspect's property has been seized for more than Br3 billion to compensate for the damage caused to the budget.
