Investigation of a probe into tax evasion on an especially large scale completed

The Main Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia completed investigation of probes against the directors of the Terek Oil Refinery LLC, Daniyal Akhmedulaev and Akhmed Davudov. They have been charged with committing an offense under Paragraph B of Part 2 of Article 199 of the Criminal Code of Russia (tax evasion on an especially large scale).

The investigation found that Davudov was the director of LLC Refinery "Terek" from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018, and Akhmedulaev - from April 2, 2018 to December 31, 2018. During these periods, they avoided paying excise duties on straight-run gasoline and middle distillates by failing to submit tax declarations for excisable goods. In addition, they evaded payment of value added tax by knowingly including false information in their tax declarations. As a result of criminal actions over 54 million rubles during the period of Davudov's leadership and over 114 million rubles during the leadership of Akhmedulaev were not transferred to the budget.

In order to secure a civil claim, the property of the accused was seized, as well as equipment of the oil refinery in the amount of more than 900 million rubles.

The investigative authorities have collected sufficient evidence; therefore, the criminal cases with the approved indictment have been sent to court to be tried on the merits.
