Corruption case

Since 31 May 2014 Klymenko is wanted by the General Prosecutor of Ukraine for the creation of tax evasion procedures to significantly reducing the customs value of certain companies.^[6] An alleged example of this is the setting up of non-existing firms to whittle tax obligations.^[7] This and other alleged crimes are to have costed the state budget of Ukraine ₴6 billion.^[6] Klymenko has denied all allegations against him and has called them "groundless".^[8]
