KIEV, Oct. 22 – The State Fiscal Service has carried out more searches of IT companies to investigate the illegal conversion of money.

Deputy Chairman of the State Fiscal Service Serhiy Bilan wrote on his Facebook page on Wednesday that the money was converted under the guise of the purchase and sale of currency, raw materials and shares of companies on virtual markets.

The organizers of the fraud created a scheme, in which several companies were involved, in particular, so-called "buffer" companies. The money was then sent to the accounts of companies which have the signs of fictitious operations with false directors, he said.
