The Bureau of Economic Security (BES) has served a notice of suspicion to Andriy Sklyarov, Director of LLC «Agro-Organic,» for large-scale tax evasion (Part 3, Art. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). According to investigators, the company avoided paying UAH 11.45 million in VAT to the state budget by utilizing shell companies for fictitious gas condensate transactions. Including accrued penalties, the total financial claim brought by the state reaches UAH 14.2 million.
Law enforcement officials report that between February and August 2025, the head of the fertilizer and nitrogen compound production enterprise unlawfully included documents for the purchase of inventory and raw materials into the company’s tax credit. Key counterparties identified as possessing signs of fictitiousness include LLC «Edrike LP,» LLC «Oil Coin,» LLC «TD Reverse,» LLC «Sunrise Logistic,» LLC «Ukravtonomgaz,» and several others.
The investigation revealed that no actual fuel deliveries or services took place under these agreements, and the transactions existed strictly on paper.
The tax evasion scheme was corroborated by an unannounced documentary audit report issued by the Main Directorate of the State Tax Service in Poltava Oblast on January 16, 2026, alongside a forensic economic evaluation report dated May 27, 2026. In addition to the primary debt, the company was assessed UAH 2.75 million in financial penalties. The prosecutor has filed a civil suit on behalf of the state to recover the total damages of UAH 14.2 million.
To guarantee compensation for the damages, the court placed a freezing order with a prohibition of disposal and alienation on the industrial real estate of LLC «Agro-Organic» located in the village of Stasi, Poltava Oblast—including a 635.3 sq. m manufacturing building, a checkpoint, and administrative structures. Additionally, the company’s bank accounts at FUIB and A-Bank have been frozen up to the amount of the civil claim.
