The Zhaiylsky District Court found officials of Junda oil refinery innocent of tax evasion and forging accompanying invoices. The lawyer of the company Baktybek Zhumashev announced this today at a press conference in 24.kg news agency.
In December 2015, the State Service for Combating Economic Crimes opened a criminal case under articles 213 (tax evasion and compulsory insurance contributions by officials of business entities), 221 (abuse of authority by employees of commercial or other organizations) and 350 (forgery, production, sale or use of forged documents, state awards, stamps, seals, forms) of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The company was accused of using damaged accompanying oil products documents to evade taxes.
«In January 2016, searches were conducted in the offices of the company with the seizure of documents. The plant’s operation was suspended. The investigation and the subsequent trial in Zhayilsky district court lasted for almost three years. As a result, on December 27, 2018, the court found management of Junda oil refinery innocent of committing crimes,» said Baktybek Zhumashev.
He added that the affected party has the right to appeal the court’s decision.
