Matter:

“The barristers provided protection to the general director of the oil refinery in a criminal case on tax (excise duty) evasion”.

The general director of the oil refinery appealed to Petukhov and Partners for recourse after the initiation of a criminal case on tax evasion in excess of 1.3 billion roubles under paragraph “b” of Part 2 of Article 199 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
The Bar’s lawyers promptly reviewed the on-site tax audit report, the resolution to hold the taxpayer accountable for a tax offense, the principal’s financial and business documentation for the period under audit, conducted an oral consultation of the principal and his employees prior to the commencement of the interrogation.
The barristers took part in the interrogation of the taxpayer company’s employees by stating the position on good practice of the refinery and providing information about the analytical and methodological shortcomings in the tax authority’s calculations as part of the on-site tax audit. In the course of the legal support of the criminal case, they developed a position allowing for the other calculation of the statute of limitations of criminal prosecution than that alleged by the investigative body, and for further termination of the criminal case on rehabilitative grounds due to the expiration of the period stipulated for filing the case to court.
