      The Prosecutor's Office of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast has approved an indictment in the criminal case against the former general director of LLC "Firma Magistral." He is charged under paragraph "b" of part 2 of Article 199 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation — tax evasion by an organization by entering knowingly false data in a tax declaration, committed on a particularly large scale.

      According to the website of the Office of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, in 2019–2020 the head concluded fictitious contracts with more than 20 commercial organizations. Formally, the obligation to pay taxes was shifted to these companies, but in fact they did not transfer the funds.

      After that, the accused submitted declarations with false information, including improper VAT deductions on invoices issued by those organizations.

      As a result, the budgetary system of the Russian Federation received more than 321 million rubles less than it should have.

      The criminal case has been sent to the Prioksky District Court of Nizhny Novgorod for consideration on the merits.

      To compensate for the damage, the accused's property has been seized. In addition, the prosecutor's office has filed claims for compensation for the damage caused by the crime.
