According to the Kursk Investigative Committee, the execution of fictitious transactions with the purchase of equipment by the managers of the Kristall-Lefortovo distillery caused a multimillion-dollar damage to the budget
According to our colleagues from Kommersant, in August 2018, the regional Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation opened a criminal case against the owner and former general director of the Kursk plant, who face up to six years in prison. The investigation found that the heads of the enterprise entered into the tax declaration data on a fictitious transaction for the purchase of equipment in the amount of more than 430 million rubles, deliberately understating the tax base. According to the investigators, for the fourth quarter of 2013 the plant did not pay VAT in the amount of 65.84 million rubles, and in total, "liquor" could evade taxes by almost 319 million rubles.
The case was referred to the Industrial Court of the city of Kursk.
