DEFENCEIN CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

(WHITE COLLAR CRIME)Kyiv, Ukraine

This area of legal defense is the most topical of all practices in the realities of today’s business. Currently, very common is the practice when the Tax Service authorities, immediately after their inspections and prior to the accrual of tax

amounts, forward information about a company’s director to the law enforcement bodies in order to initiate criminal proceedings for tax default.

Criminal proceedings may be initiated on an actual basis as well as with respect to officials (director and chief accountant) of the inspected company. Also, criminal

proceedings may be initiated not against the inspected company itself but against its counteragent. And this being the case, it becomes very difficult for the company to appeal the accrued amount (tax assessment notice), or it may even constitute

grounds for the court to sustain the accrued tax amount by referring to the criminal proceedings. And that’s a vicious circle. Therefore, it is very important to have the right legal support in a criminal procedure starting from the very first interrogation

or even from summons to interrogation of a lawyer.
