According to NABU and SAPO, in 2015–2016 the Head of the State Fiscal Service, with the assistance of an adviser, received USD 5.5 million and over EUR 21 million in undue advantage (at the exchange rate at the time of the events — over UAH 722 million) for ensuring VAT refunds to companies of the «Ukrlandfarming» agricultural holding. The notice of suspicion was served in October 2022, the investigation was completed on 2 February 2023, and the indictment was sent to court in May 2023. In 2026, the HACC merged this case with the case on money laundering and is considering it on the merits. There is no verdict; the person is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court.
