Юрыю Чыжу выставілі афіцыйнае абвінавачанне

KGB has pronounced official charges to Triple CEO Yury Chyzh detained on March 11. He is accused of major tax evasion (Article 243 (2) in the Penal Code).  

The businessman remains in jail, BelaPAN reports quoting KGB spokesperson Dzmitry Pabyarezhyn.

Nothing is known about the other detainees

According to KGB chief Valery Vakulchyk, when the businessman learned about the searches in his offices, he made an attempt to flee Belarus. Chyzh was driving towards the Lithuanian border at 220 km/h and then turned towards the Polish border. KGB had to use special forces to catch him, he said.

KGB: 20 people detained including Yury Chyzh

His tax evasion resulted in billions of roubles of damage. Five other people were arrested and one person was detained, the KGB chief noted.

Yury Chyzh opened a fake firm in Russia aiming to conduct financial fraud in 2012. Triple gave the new company the right for its trademark. Every month, he transferred large amounts of money, supposedly as payment for the use of the trademark. This money was cashed in by the company CEO. There were many companies like that, Vakulchyk said.

Chyzh’s ‘residence’ without roof: businessman’s property (photo)

The man pointed at an unfinished wooden construction near the church:

 

“It is that log cabin, there is still no roof”.

 

 

 

We were surprised: “Is this Chyzh’s ‘residence?”

 

“It is. There is nothing else. This is the whole ‘residence’,” the man smiled.
