Tax Police To Halve Numbers

The number of tax police will be cut from 15,000 to 7,000, chairman of Ukraine’s State Tax Administration Oleksandr Kyreyev said yesterday. Kyreyev added that the tax police should work with ?brains and analysis,? not batons and guns. Concorde  Capital: Finally, a post-Soviet Republic that has realized that fighting money laundering and fraud is a sophisticated and intellectual process, not a matter black masked soldiers breaking down doors, confiscating computers and forcing employees to lay face down in the snow, as has been a problem in a certain neighboring country. If the government goes through with this plan, it will be a definite sign of progress.
