Today, Elena Blinovskaya’s lawyer, Natalya Salnikova, told how the amnesty regarding job fragmentation, which the president mentioned in his message to the Federal Assembly on February 29, will affect the blogger. His words are quoted from Izvestia.

“A pardon may relieve my client from criminal liability under the tax evasion clause, but it does not relieve him of payments. “This will not apply to other charges,” the lawyer said. By the way, the Arbitration Court will start considering Elena’s tax claim tomorrow.

Let us remind you that Elena Blinovskaya was detained while trying to cross the border on April 27, 2023. At that time, she was accused of evading more than 918 million in taxes and legalizing 43 million rubles. The total debt, including unpaid fines, reached 1 billion 400 million lira. The entrepreneur paid only 55 million rubles at once. On December 29, the businesswoman filed a lawsuit against the tax authorities and demanded the invalidation of the decisions of the federal service. On January 22, the court decided to transfer Elena to the pre-trial detention center until April 26, in accordance with the requests of the Investigative Committee. On February 3, it became known that Elena was forbidden to see her husband in the pre-trial detention center. On February 29, the blogger’s website was hacked, and scammers took advantage of this to launch a marathon in his name.
