In Ukraine, the Bureau of Economic Security (BES) has uncovered tax evasion by one of the largest licensed online casinos. The establishment owes the state 1.2 billion hryvnia in unpaid taxes. BES has seized 700 million hryvnia (equivalent to $184,000) from the accounts of the unnamed online casino.
The investigation revealed that employees of the company established illegal online casino platforms, utilizing over 30 mirror sites designed to replicate the appearance of the licensed platform. The group orchestrated a sophisticated tax evasion scheme on a significant scale, according to BES.
Inspectors discovered that the registered address of the authorized online casino did not correspond to the owner's actual location, and employees deliberately concealed crucial evidence related to the investigation.
