The Financial Investigations Department of the State Control Committee (KGC) has identified a retail chain suspected of tax evasion. It comprised 20 retail outlets across the country selling light-industry goods. A resident of Barysau was identified as the actual owner of the business.

Investigators concluded that a significant portion of the goods was purchased abroad for cash and without accompanying documents. Revenue from their sale was concealed from taxation. A business-splitting scheme was also used to apply the simplified taxation system. The damage was estimated at BYN 2.5 million.

A criminal case has been opened against the business owner.
