Mezha reported on 9 November 2026, citing the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, that an official at a Ukrainian defence company was suspected of intentional corporate-profit-tax evasion under Part 3 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
According to the investigation as described by Mezha, the allegation concerns the company’s 2023 financial statement. Investigators alleged that product-sale revenue was reported as nearly 95.2 million Ukrainian hryvnias lower than it should have been, while production cost was reported as more than 31.4 million Ukrainian hryvnias lower. The reported discrepancies allegedly resulted in a lower declared profit and an unpaid corporate-profit-tax amount of 12.4 million Ukrainian hryvnias.
Mezha said the company voluntarily paid the alleged unpaid tax and fully compensated the alleged losses. It reported that a prosecutor subsequently filed a motion asking a court to release the suspect from criminal liability. That motion is a prosecutorial request, not a court decision, and the allegations have not established guilt.
