Executives at the company, which runs perhaps the resort’s largest restaurant and resort complex, are suspected of misleading accounts. According to preliminary data, around 1.8 million could have been hidden in three years. Euro income, accusations made against two people.
A large-scale preliminary investigation carried out by the Klaipėda Regional Board of the Financial Crimes Investigation Service (FNTT) together with the Klaipėda Regional Prosecutor’s Office was launched after receiving data that the proceeds may not be accounted for in one of the larger hotel and restaurant complexes.
It is suspected that the largest unaccounted for cash flows went through the operation of a restaurant and cafeteria owned by the company.
Based on available data, a common restaurant process automation system was used among catering establishments to manage revenue from the recreation complex. It included all hotel and restaurant reservations from 7 operational cash registers.
From the collected data, it can be concluded that a smart revenue accounting scheme was developed in the restaurant: orders that could be fulfilled were processed as “discards” using the “cancel” function, which means that the order can have been done, but the accounting system noted that the customer refused, then the order invoice was discarded.
To disguise the activities carried out, the original order receipts printed by the cash registers were discarded. There is evidence that food and restaurant service bills were not included in the accounts.
How it worked
The control bars found during the searches showed that when customers visited the restaurant, an account was opened for them in the process system to which their orders were placed.
After placing the orders, sometimes even applying a discount to the invoice, the order “discard operation” was flagged a few hours later, as if the customers were rejecting the prepared food or drinks ordered a few hours ago.
According to the data analyzed, it can be observed that coffee, bottled beverages, zeppelins and soups were the most “thrown away” and in extremely large quantities.
Officials suspect that under the scheme, nearly 1.8 million people may not have been included in the company’s official accounts. Income in euros.
The company that operates the leisure complex is also suspected of paying part of their salaries in envelopes. During the summer, the outdoor cafe had around 50 employees. During the searches, it was found that potential employees were working overtime that was not officially accounted for and that they were being paid for overtime worked on envelopes.
Eleven raids were carried out in the company’s facilities, in the restaurant administration and in the residences of those responsible, during which the agents took a large amount of documents, computer equipment and media.
The pre-trial investigation is ongoing.
Tax evasion by providing incorrect income data when the amount of the taxes exceeds 750 MSL is punishable by the most severe prison sentence of up to eight years.
