A Bulgarian company has been implicated in an attempt to smuggle $ 1.2m out of Ukraine. This is clear from a message from the office of the Ukrainian Prosecutor General Irina Venediktova.
Law enforcement officials prevented an attempt to illegally withdraw $ 1.2 million and transfer them abroad. The money was in the bank accounts of the Ukrainian company. An investigation has established that the company tried to illegally withdraw these funds and transfer them to the account of a Bulgarian company. In order for this to happen, an alleged import of agricultural products has been formed through the Nikolaev sea terminal. The agreement was signed in March 2022 during the active hostilities in the Nikolaev region. At the time, it was impossible to transfer the cargo, which shows the fictitiousness of the agreement and the suspicion that it is being done to transfer the funds, according to the prosecutor’s office.
The pre-trial proceedings are being conducted by investigators from the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine.
