NOT official biography

December 6, 2021. Daniil Menshikov took up his official duties. This is reported by the Telegram channel of the State Customs Service (Customs of Ukraine). with reference to the Independent News Service: After that, new scandals began to be born here, which were left unattended in Kyiv. Truck drivers and owners of logistics companies were the first to evaluate the result of the work of Lviv customs, because queues at checkpoints began to be measured not in hours, but in days. Roads near the state of emergency “Shegini”, “Krakowets” and “Rava-Russkaya” turned into a continuous traffic jam, moreover, in both directions. In order to strengthen the fight against smuggling and violation of customs rules, Daniil Menshikov invited Yuri Prikhodko to his team. Telegram channel of the customs service Yury Prikhodko: It didn't take long to see the effect of this boost.. The method of research and monitoring established: Lviv customs officers have ceased to distinguish new clothes from second-hand. December 17, 2021. at the Korcheva-Krakovets checkpoint, customs officers tried to register a whole truckload of new clothes from China as second-hand, this would lower the cost of customs clearance or avoid it altogether. Thanks to the military from the operational-search department of the State Border Service, this was prevented. Contraband clothing: The leaders of the Lviv customs and the State Customs Service simply hushed up this story. Just before the New Year, Lviv customs officers distinguished themselves again, this time they let a batch of cigarettes into Poland. More than 2,000 packs of cigarettes were found by Polish law enforcement officers from the National Revenue Office. Cigarette smuggling: Despite the fact that this story received publicity in a neighboring country, there is silence again on the Ukrainian side: no dismissals, no suspensions. Moreover, the head of the State Customs Service of Ukraine Vyacheslav Demchenko decided to extend the credit of trust acting. head of the Lviv customs Daniil Menshikov, sending him to Lviv for another month. Menshikov continued his path of fighting smuggling. The fight turned out to be so successful that even the investigators of the DBR and the prosecutor's office had to intervene: on January 10, the inspector of the Rava-Russkaya post uploaded a photograph of an empty minibus to the customs clearance card, despite the fact that the car was “to the eyeballs” packed with goods. For this episode alone, the damage caused to the state is estimated at 121,000 hryvnias. Detained Inspector: But this is just one documented case, how many of these “empty” beads drove into the territory of Ukraine, we are unlikely to ever know. Even the Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine realized that the issue of smuggling is already completely out of control by the leadership of the State Customs Service and the heads of regional customs. Chairman of the Committee Daniil Getmantsev declared his readiness for sharp personnel decisions already in February: It seems that in Lviv they listened to the words of Daniil Getmantsev and walk like it was the last time. Headlines on news sites like “Drunken Customs Officer Detained in Lviv” have already become absolutely commonplace. Detained by police Marian Bedriy: On January 25, returning from a celebration at work, the head of the department for combating customs offenses Marian Berdriy got behind the wheel of a car drunk. He was stopped by the police and found that the level of alcohol in a civil servant was almost twice the legal limit.. Maryan Bedria was never fired for this misconduct.

Sergei Korchak's “paratroopers” crush Lviv business

January 5 acting. head of the Galician customs Serhiy Korchak appealed to the head of the State Customs Service of Ukraine with a request to send a landing force of professionals to the Galician customs “in connection with the official need to provide methodological assistance”. A list of desired candidates was attached to the appeal: Ilyashevich Yaroslav Vladimirovich, head of the customs post “Nikolaev-Morskoy” of the Black Sea customs. Nebrezh Dmitry Petrovich, Head of Administration of Customs Payments, Customs Value and Classification of Goods of the Black Sea Customs. Zhdanovich Maxim Mikhailovich, Chief State Inspector of the Price Information Department of the State Customs Service. It is known that in order to “strengthen” the work of the Galician customs, Daniil Menshikov, head of the department for monitoring and analyzing customs value, managing customs value and price information of the State Customs Service, was sent to Lviv. In July 2022, the SBU discovered another corruption scheme at the Lviv customs:

In July 2022, the SBU discovered another corruption scheme at the Lviv customs: Menshikov Daniil and Zhdanovich Maxim, called to provide “methodological assistance”, in fact, do anything, but not methodological work. They move freely around the customs control zones, take part in the inspection of vehicles, however, such information is not displayed anywhere in official acts. And from the customs posts of Shegini, Rava-Russkaya, Yavorov and Lvov-postal, these workers cannot be driven away with a stick. With their appearance, real harassment of legally working businessmen began. Additional reviews, artificially delaying their duration, blocking declarations, content of cargo, which ultimately brings huge losses to businesses that are used to customs clearance of their goods, and not to give “on the paw”. Now under the special attention of these “watchers” vegetables, fruits, second-hand and household goods. Everything leads to the fact that the “white” business incurs additional costs and is forced to pay downtime, pay for loading and unloading. Such “nightmares” continue until businessmen get on the “streams” that are “roofed” by Korczak's “landing of professionals”. Businessmen who do not want to play by the new rules choose other areas for customs clearance of their goods. Like in Transcarpathia, where the situation is much more adequate and transparent.
