In the Tula region, a man has been convicted for large-scale tax evasion, as reported by the press service of the Investigative Committee for the Tula region.
Earlier, the Investigative Department of Russia«s Investigative Committee for the Tula region initiated a criminal case against one of the de facto heads of a construction firm specializing in roofing and other works. He acted in concert with an accomplice, another firm manager.
To avoid paying taxes, they entered into contracts with fake «shell companies,» allegedly transferring funds for various needs like material purchases. This data was then included in tax returns.
This allowed them to evade over 19 million rubles (approximately $211,100 at current rates) in taxes. The scheme was later uncovered by law enforcement.
In court, the Tula resident was fined 490,000 rubles (about $5,444 at current rates). The damage to the state was compensated through asset seizure.
