Resident of Kherson region facilitated the work of the occupiers' tax service

A resident of the region, who organized logistical support for the illegal tax office in Kherson region, was suspected.

This was reported by the press service of the Kherson Regional Prosecutor's Office.

The report says that under the procedural guidance of the Kherson Regional Prosecutor's Office, the resident of the region was served in absentia with a notice of suspicion of voluntarily holding a position in an illegal law enforcement agency (Part 7 of Article 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

According to the investigation, in June 2022, the 56-year-old suspect voluntarily took up the position of the so-called "Deputy Head of the Economic Support Department of the Kherson Oblast Tax Service" - an illegal body created by the occupation administration. In this position, the woman provided the material and technical base of the pseudo-tax office, thus facilitating its functioning.

The pre-trial investigation is being carried out by the State Bureau of Investigation in Melitopol.

Earlier it was reported that three employees of the occupation migration service in Kherson region would be tried. They assisted in obtaining Russian passports. The investigation established that in the summer of 2022, the defendants agreed to cooperate with the enemy and took positions in the illegally created "Department of the Federal Migration Service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kherson Region". All three became the so-called "acting specialists of the passport and visa service department" in the "public security department", "passport and visa service of the Suvorov and Dnipro city police departments". In their pseudo-posts, they issued "address certificates" to residents of Kherson region for further obtaining a Russian passport; translated citizens' documents from Ukrainian into Russian; and conducted the procedure for identifying people who had lost their documents.
