Far Eastern Customs Administration

Buryat Customs initiated two criminal cases: one against an entrepreneur who used someone else’s documents to illegally register a company, and the other against a “front director” who provided his own documents for this purpose.

As a result of operational measures, customs officers found that in 2022 year  the entrepreneur offered for a fee to his acquaintance to act as a formal head of a legal entity – participant of foreign economic activity and to provide documents to the tax authorities, on the basis of which information about the false director was entered into the Unified State Register of Legal Entities

Operatives found that from the moment of making entries in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the citizen, who provided his documents, did not carry out and did not plan to carry out financial and economic, organizational, administrative and other management activities in the company. Thus, the firm was created for illegal export of timber.

A second criminal case was initiated by the Buryat Customs under part 1 of article 173.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation – submission of data to the body responsible for the state registration of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, which led to the introduction of information about front persons into the unified state register of legal entities
