“During the provision of advice on these issues, the 39-year-old tax specialist reported that in connection with the existing debt to pay certain types of taxes, the declarant was charged a penalty, which also resulted in the imposition of encumbrances on the debtor’s property.

At the same time, the official proposed to write off the accrued penalty and remove all existing encumbrances upon payment of the main amount of tax obligations, as well as the transfer of unlawful benefits in the amount of 1 thousand US dollars,” the message says.

On October 13, after receiving illegal benefits, the taxman was detained.

The issue of reporting suspicion to a detainee and choosing a preventive measure is currently being resolved.

The sanction of the incriminated article provides for up to 10 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
