The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) suspects managers of the Brusnichka retail chain of transferring 500 million hryvnias of funds to the accounts of commercial firms located in the temporarily occupied territories.
The agency's press service stated that employees of a "well-known grocery supermarket chain" collaborate with 15 companies that pay taxes to militants in the "DPR" and "LPR." They also alleged money laundering of over 50 million hryvnias, the sale of goods of dubious origin, and a number of other violations, including tax fraud.
Yesterday, Vasyl Hrytsak, head of the Security Service of Ukraine, reported in Kyiv that searches were conducted at the Brusnichka store in Dnipropetrovsk on October 30. However, Ukrainian Retail LLC, which owns the chain, denied the searches, stating that they operate honestly and pay taxes.
It's worth noting that Brusnichka is part of Rinat Akhmetov's SCM. As of today, the chain has approximately 140 stores in the Donetsk, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia, and Poltava regions.
