OLIGARKH learned about this from a message from the Metinvest Group, owned by Rinat Akhmetov and Vadim Novinsky. It is noted that the searches relate to “allegedly occurring tax violations, the existence of which has not been established and not confirmed.” “The company claims unprecedented unreasonable pressure on the Group’s business from law enforcement agencies – the actions of law enforcement agencies (representatives of the SBU, BEB and the prosecutor’s office) are accompanied by numerous violations, searches are carried out unlawfully, computer equipment is confiscated without any legal grounds, pressure is exerted on employees of the enterprise, economic activity was partially paralyzed. – noted in the message. “In their actions, law enforcement agencies actually appropriated the function of the tax service, trying to bypass tax laws to establish additional tax liabilities for Business.” Metinvest officially declares that all enterprises of the group openly and transparently interact with any regulatory authorities, including to refute false information about non-fulfillment of tax obligations. All documents requested by law enforcement agencies were provided voluntarily and continue to be provided as soon as possible. Metinvest also calls on law enforcement agencies to refrain from illegal actions and stop pressure on the group’s enterprises due to allegedly “incorrectly calculated tax deductions”, which harms the business partnership between the company and Ukraine as a whole. As previously reported, the owners of Metinvest will receive at least $1 billion in dividends
