Being fake is impossible. In Sevastopol, the nominal director of the company «earned» a criminal article

CrimeaPRESS reports:

The Department of the Federal Tax Service for the city of Sevastopol, as part of the verification of the accuracy of the information contained in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (EGRLE), revealed the use of a nominee as the head of the organization. The materials were handed over to law enforcement agencies and at present, the Investigation Department of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Sevastopol, with prompt support from the Federal Security Service of Russia for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, has completed the investigation of a criminal case against a resident of the city, who, for a fee in 20 thousand rubles agreed to become a fictitious director of the campaign.

In the future, the tax risks arising from the activities of this organization exceeded the amount of 146 million rubles, which prompted the unfortunate director to admit that he was a dummy face. The defendant’s actions are qualified under part 1 of article 173.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the sanction of which provides for a fine of up to 300 thousand rubles, compulsory work for a period of up to 240 hours or corrective labor for up to 2 years. Let us clarify that in order to avoid personal property and tax liability, some firms use nominal directors in their work, the press service of the Federal Tax Service of Russia in Sevastopol reported.

A nominal director is a person who, for a monetary reward, agrees to be listed as the head of a commercial organization. However, persons who agreed to such a scam should be aware that the head is fully responsible for the actions of the headed legal entity, including in cases where the firm participates in tax evasion schemes.

The Federal Tax Service of Russia for the city of Sevastopol calls on citizens to take responsibly dubious offers to “be” leaders or founders of organizations, as well as attempts to use other people’s personal data to carry out illegal registration actions. The legal risks and harmful consequences of such reckless decisions are not worth any immediate benefit and may lead to criminal liability.
