Based on the materials collected by employees of the UPM of the SFA in the Volyn region, the Prosecutor's Office of the Volyn region has initiated a criminal case regarding the fact of illegal movement across the customs border of Ukraine, with concealment from customs control, of 585,000 kg of the "Cocoa-Mix" mixture addressed to one of the private enterprises in the city of Volodymyr-Volynskyi. This was reported to "Pres-time" by the responsible employee of the press service of the tax police of Volyn, Vitalii Liulka.\n\nEmployees of the tax police, during operational-search measures within the framework of the "Stop Contraband" operation, established that on August 9, 2005, the private enterprise "V" (city of Volodymyr-Volynskyi) imported into Ukraine from OJSC "Skidelsky Sugar Plant" (Republic of Belarus) in import mode 585 tons of "Cocoa-Mix" (a specially mechanically prepared mixture that does not contain 8.47% cocoa powder), not packaged for retail trade, worth 1 million 363 thousand UAH.\n\nSubsequently, PE "V" sent the "Cocoa-Mix" to OJSC "Horodotsky Sugar Plant" for processing. According to the agreement, OJSC "Skidelsky Sugar Plant" is to supply the specified goods to PE "V" for a total sum of 6 million US dollars.\n\nThe contract under which the goods were supplied to the territory of Ukraine by PE "V" was signed by director S. The customs clearance of the mixture imported into Ukraine by PE "V" was carried out by Yahodyn Customs under the code at the customs value specified in the customs declarations. These same documents state that the mechanical mixture "Cocoa-Mix" contains 8.47% cocoa powder and 91.8% sucrose.\n\nA check conducted regarding the specified fact established that citizen S. has no relation whatsoever to PE "V". He did not sign any documents on behalf of the specified enterprise, did not conclude a foreign economic contract, did not carry out customs clearance of the goods, and did not grant authorization to other persons to perform the specified actions. The legal address of the enterprise is his residential address, but the private enterprise was never located at this address.\n\nAccording to an expert examination conducted by specialists of the NDECC of internal affairs bodies, the share of sucrose (calculated on dry matter) in the imported "Cocoa-Mix" mixture is 98.5%, and not 91.8% as stated in the customs declarations. The cocoa content in the mixture is 0.5%, and not 8.47%.\n\nTaking into account the established data, it appears that documents with false information entered into them were provided to the customs authorities of Ukraine.\n\nThus, on 9.08.2005, unidentified persons imported 585 tons of the "Cocoa-Mix" mixture worth 1 million 363 thousand UAH into the customs territory of Ukraine, concealing from customs control the real value of the goods by submitting documents containing false data regarding the recipient enterprise and the quality characteristics of the goods.\n\nOn the basis of materials collected by employees of the UPM of the SFA in the region, Yahodyn Customs additionally assessed 250 thousand UAH in customs payments and fees.\n\nIn addition, in order to ensure compensation for damages caused to the state, an arrest was imposed on the goods (the "Cocoa-Mix" mixture) with a total quantity of 585 tons and a value of 1 million 363 thousand UAH, which was located at OJSC "Horodotsky Sugar Plant" (Khmelnytskyi region).
