Lerchek was fined 124 million rubles for non-payment of taxes. His lawyer told RIA Novosti about this.
“On September 18, the Federal Tax Service made a decision. After that, there is an official obligation to pay fines and penalties of 124 million rubles. Chekalins are constructive and will pay for everything,” said Konstantin Tretyakov.
He also noted that there were “procedural hurdles.” The fact is that all property, including money from accounts, was seized as part of a criminal case. “In turn, you have to pay fines and penalties to end criminal proceedings for non-payment of taxes. Vicious circle. Therefore, at the end of last week, we petitioned the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation to remove the arrest from the accounts. “We are now waiting for the investigation’s constructive attitude on this issue so that we can voluntarily transfer this money to the budget,” he said.
According to him, the Federal Tax Service noted that Valeria Chekalina “is a mother of many children, pays for everything voluntarily, does charity work, etc.” does not intend to take into account the fact. “As I understand it, this is an internal principled position for the Federal Tax Service (Federal Tax Service – Ed.) for some reasons. But the men took everything stoically and their approach was constructive. “The Motherland said we will pay,” the lawyer added.
Let us remind you that at the beginning of March, a criminal case was opened against Lerchek and her husband Artem, especially for non-payment of large amounts of taxes and money laundering. After all companies were counted, the bloggers were arrested. It soon became clear that the Chekalins had paid more than 311 million rubles in tax debts. They are now prohibited from using mobile phones by court order. And recently it became known that more serious people took up the Valeria Chekalina case – it was transferred to the apparatus of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of Russia.
