The Lviv Regional Prosecutor’s Office has notified a businesswoman of suspicion in timber smuggling and money laundering.
According to the investigation, in January 2025 the businesswoman organized the illegal export of timber products to Poland. She used fake documents to obtain certificates of legal timber origin. As a result, nearly 18 cubic meters of hazelworth 300 thousand UAH were exported.
The woman legalized the received funds by converting them into hryvnias and withdrawing cash. Part of the money was spent on paying for goods for business activities.
The pre-trial investigation is being conducted by detectives of the BEB in the Lviv region with the support of the SSU.
