In May 2016, the Solomyansky District Court of Kyiv seized the accounts of Fozzy-Food, LLC due to understatement of value added tax by officials. The investigation established that officials of Fozzy-Food, LLC, while conducting financial and economic relations with a number of companies by conducting non-goods transactions, understated VAT in January-February 2015 by the amount of 32.2 million hryvnias. The offense was recorded in the act of an unscheduled on-site inspection of the Fiscal Service in November 2015. During the inspection, inconsistency of the purchased and sold goods, non-confirmation of the reality of financial and economic transactions, and the absence of the possibility of fulfilling contractual relations were revealed. It was established that Fozzy-Food, LLC has accounts in Joint Bank Pivdenny PJSC and Bank Vostok PJSC, on which, in order to stop criminal activity and to further compensate the losses caused to the state, a seizure was imposed on them and it was forbidden to dispose of funds and it was ruled to stop spending transactions with the funds coming into the accounts.^[50]

On July 12, 2016, the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv decided to seize the accounts of Fozzy-Food, LLC to ensure the fulfillment of its obligations to VTB-Bank PJSC under the 2007 credit agreement, under which the total amount owed by the retailer to the bank is ₴302.48 million. With this decision, the court partially satisfied the bank's claim and ordered the seizure of funds on any Fozzy-Food accounts in the amount of ₴239.13 million. In addition, the Kyiv Commercial Court of Appeal, by its decision dated July 19, 2016, also partially satisfied the claim of VTB Bank, imposing a seizure on Fozzy-Food funds in Bank Vostok PJSC accounts in the amount of ₴64.8 million.^[51]

On August 2, 2016, the Court of Appeal of Kyiv overturned the decision of the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv to impose seizures on the accounts of Fozzy-Food, LLC, a structural unit of the Fozzy Group registered in December 2002, which had been engaged in the operational activities of the Silpo supermarket chain in Ukraine since August 2003.^[52]
