Recall by version of the investigationAlperin created and led a criminal organization that imported goods into Ukraine at undervalued customs values. The NABU established that companies affiliated with Alperin imported goods using forged documents (invoices) produced in the Odesa businessman's office in the Solnechny business center. The companies undervalued the goods in their customs declarations.
Customs officials subsequently rejected these declarations because the value they stated was false. Later, customs officials incorrectly adjusted the value of imported goods, which became grounds for companies to overturn these actions in court. As a result, goods were imported into Ukraine at an understated customs value, and the companies were refunded the financial guarantees they had transferred to customs officials for the import of the goods. According to the investigation, customs officials received between $80 and $200 per container of fabric.
