During the first interrogation, Valeria Chekalina admitted that she had violated the law, but later changed her statement. TASS reports this with reference to law enforcement agencies.
Lerchek confessed about foreign exchange transactions. The interrogation took place before the court issued a preventive injunction. The blogger pleaded guilty to charges of transferring money abroad using forged documents. She later retracted what she said: “Chekalina admitted that she carried out foreign exchange transactions to transfer money from the Russian Federation to the accounts of foreigners using forged documents.”
Let us remind you that this autumn a new criminal case was opened against Valeria Chekalina and her ex-husband Artem Chekalin for illegal currency transactions. Bloggers were detained on suspicion of withdrawing more than 250 million rubles using fake documents. On October 4, the court issued a preventive injunction against the ex-spouses. They were kept under house arrest until 26 November.
