Tax inspectors make speeches at Byalyatski’s trial
Leanid Chauko, deputy director of the Humanitarian Activities Department of the President’s Administration, was the first witness.
He described the principles of getting humanitarian aid in Belarus. The lawyer asked if he was aware of the criminal case. Having received a negative reply, the lawyer drew attention to the fact, that the person could not be a witness in the case, informs nn.by.
Witness Sobaleva, Pershamaiski District tax inspector, was interrogated afterwards. She worked with Byalyatski. She registered his income declaration in 2008. Surplus was registered in 1994-1998, 1999, 2005 and 2006. Byalyatski said that he had borrowed money from a French citizen by 2014. Byalyatski paid taxes for the surplus on December 30, 2008.
Tax inspectors checked Byalyatski again in 2010 but did not register any surplus. Byalyatski presented foreign income declaration in 2008-2010. Sobaleva took part in drawing up reports after information about Byalyatski had arrived from Poland and Lithuania, informs Radio Liberty. She explained that the money received by citizens abroad is considered to be their income. To avoid it, citizens have to present information themselves. It was not done.
