On August 13, Minsk / Mikhail Sinkevich - BELTA /. Financial raids by the State Control Committee of Belarus in July brought Br6.4 billion to the budget. This was reported to a BELTA correspondent by the press service of the SCC. The main grounds for initiating criminal cases are illegal entrepreneurial activity and tax evasion. In July, the financial investigation units of the SCC conducted 276 inspections, during which 276 offenses were detected. Based on the results of operational and service activities, Br6.4 billion was received into the budget, including Br6.2 billion in cash. The financial police claimed additional payments of Br13.3 billion, of which Br4.8 billion was actually received by the budget. 143 offenders were brought to administrative responsibility for a total of Br77.7 million. 92 criminal cases were initiated. 35 criminal cases were transferred to prosecutors for forwarding to courts. For example, a criminal case was initiated against a resident of Mogilev in connection with illegal entrepreneurial activity. Without having an individual entrepreneur registration certificate, from February to December 2009, he supplied goods and materials to enterprises in the Shklovsky district, using documents and seals of shell companies, and received income in a particularly large amount – Br223 million. For the same reason, a criminal case was initiated against residents of the Minsk region who, in 2006-2008, carried out wholesale trade of a wide range of goods, earning Br3.3 billion. Inspections also revealed that officials of a private enterprise in Grodno, during their financial and economic activities in 2006-2007, evaded taxes and duties by recording non-existent goods deliveries from various shell companies to the enterprise in their accounting. The damage to the state amounted to Br704.5 million.-0-
