The blogger's ex-husband Lercek paid the tax 900 million rubles.
Artem Chekalin, the former husband of blogger Lerchek (Valeria Chekalina), who was convicted in the case of withdrawing funds to the UAE using forged documents, paid 900 million rubles to the tax service. Lawyer Konstantin Tretyakov told Izvestia about this on April 27.
He also said that Chekalin has no complaints about the conditions of detention in the pre-trial detention center.
On April 13, Chekalin was sentenced to seven years in a penal colony. In addition, he will have to pay a fine of 194 million rubles. The defense intends to appeal the verdict against Chekalin. Later, Chekalin's defense released a video message recorded by him before the trial, in which he called himself innocent and did not admit the charges.
Lercek's ex-husband said on the same day that he came to court with a "heavy heart" and warned the children that he might not return home. Prior to that, Valeria Chekalina appealed to the court with a request to show mercy to her ex-husband. Lawyer Tretyakov told Izvestia that the children of the former spouses will live with their mother.
On March 16, the court released Chekalina from house arrest after confirming that she had cancer. Also, due to illness, it was allowed to suspend judicial proceedings in the blogger's criminal case on her withdrawal of more than 250 million rubles to the UAE.
