On March 21, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation announced the opening of criminal proceedings against blogger Alexandra Mitroshina. There is an opinion that verifications of top bloggers are not accidental.
Alexandra was born in 1994 in Petrozavodsk. She started her radio career in Moscow, but then realized that her calling was blogging and coaching. She now has more than 4 million followers on the social network and recently earned 140 million rubles per hour on her webinar.
Investigators accuse the suspect of a crime in the field of taxes – after crossing the 150 million income mark, the girl decided not to change the tax rate, but to distribute the profits among her own organizations and affiliated ones in order to evade taxes.
Security forces estimate that the “mother of God” saved 120 million rubles in taxes. Now investigators are establishing a circle of people involved in the crime.
Alexandra said she intended to repay the debt and would abide by the law.
Currently, the blogger lives in the United Arab Emirates, where he continues to sell courses.
Two weeks ago, law enforcement officers came to the house to search for blogger Valeria Chekalina. The girl is accused of tax evasion in the amount of 300 million rubles. Like Mitroshina, the suspect used a simplified tax system. According to investigators, Chekalins’ income from the sale of marathons amounted to more than 3 billion rubles a year.
The publication reports that Mitroshina and Chekalina are not the last on the list of bloggers who will be checked by law enforcement. Tens of billions of rubles are spinning in the blog market. The top ten bloggers of the Russian Federation earned about a billion rubles in a year on YouTube. Not the fact that all taxes have been paid on this amount.
- As for the exorbitant incomes and the good life of some bloggers, they will stay exactly as long as they are willing to pay to learn how to easily “remove ten centimeters from your waistline in a month” or simply get rich by “read books, communicating with positive people and giving compliments to others,” writes RIA Novosti.
