A tax evasion scheme has led Russian bloggers Chekalin to a new criminal charge.
Former spouses Artem and Valeria Chekalin and their business partner are suspected of illegally withdrawing more than 250 million rubles from the Russian Federation.
To do this, they used forged documents.
The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, Irina Volk, reported that a criminal case has been opened against them in connection with this.
She wrote on her Telegram channel that the illegal activity was identified and stopped by the police.
Members of the organized group illegally transferred funds abroad using forged documents.
Investigators believe that the criminals successfully sold the fitness marathon to Russians. However, the contracts were concluded with foreign legal entities.
The money for it was transferred to foreign bank accounts.
According to preliminary data, over 250 million rubles were withdrawn from Russia in six months.
The defendants provided currency control agencies with false information about the purpose and purpose of the transfers.
A criminal case has been opened under Article 193.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The investigation into the Chekalins' case continues.
