Shuster has been living in Ukraine since 2005. In 2008, he received an interest bearing loan in the amount of EUR 1.34 million on his foreign currency account, but failed to repay it within a specified period.
In addition, Schuster did not report his income declaration to the tax office and evaded paying tax on income of individuals in the amount of more than UAH 2.1 million.
