The company, which remains unnamed by officials but is identified by The New Voice of Ukraine as Cosmolot, allegedly avoided paying around \u20ac27.4 million in taxes. This operation holds a legal license to operate in Ukraine, according to authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Investigations revealed the firm engaged in unauthorized online gambling activities through over 30 \u201cmirror\u201d sites, mimicking the licensed entity\u2019s platform but operating without proper authorization. This setup was part of a larger scheme to evade taxes, described by the Bureau as extensive and organized.<\/p>\n<p>Further inquiries brought to light that the company\u2019s listed office location did not match its actual premises, as per its registration with Ukraine\u2019s national gambling regulator, KRAIL. Investigators also found that company staff hid crucial evidence and documents, complicating the investigation efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Following these discoveries, authorities froze UAH700 million from the company\u2019s accounts and launched a pre-trial investigation, with the Prosecutor General\u2019s Office providing guidance.<\/p>\n<p>Cosmolot has responded by challenging these allegations, deeming them baseless and confirming its commitment to legal operations through its officially licensed website, cosmolot.ua. The firm has already taken legal steps to contest the charges.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Katsubet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Katsubet.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Katsubet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Katsubet<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
