Ukraine's State Fiscal Service is inspecting facts related to the pretrial investigation by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) into the signs of abuse of power by officials from the State Fiscal Service, the press service of the authority has reported.

"The inspection of nonresident companies registered in offshore jurisdictions and allegedly controlled by officials from the State Fiscal Service and their associates has been started to conduct an unbiased and all-round consideration of the above-mentioned facts, establish the circumstances of crimes and punish guilty persons," the fiscal service told Interfax-Ukraine last week.

According to NABU's pretrial investigation No. 42016100000000329, officials from the State Fiscal Service with the help of officials from Kyiv customs office are participants of a criminal customs clearance scheme setting too low customs value of goods via fabrication or replacement of cargo accompanying documents.

According to the investigators, improper advantage is sent by unknown resident companies to the accounts of offshore companies controlled by officials from the State Fiscal Service and their associates, including Abital LP and Iris Assets Limited.

According to a posting on Nashi Groshi website, Iris Assets Limited and Abital LP are registered in Britain and affiliated with Belize's B2B Consultants Ltd.

According to the court ruling register, the investigating judge of Solomiansky district court of Kyiv on August 15 permitted Latvian authorized agencies to have access to the documents and information about Abital LP and Iris Assets Limited in Latvia's Baltic International Bank.
