Su-155 construction firm pays 2 bln rubles in back-taxes, fines; criminal case closed
MOSCOW. Feb 18 (Interfax) - The Su-155 group of construction companies has paid 2 billion rubles in back-taxes and a criminal case against its head, Alexander Mescheryakov, has been dropped.
Charges were brought against Mescheryakov in June last year. The investigation found out that Meshcheryakov "failed to fulfill obligations as a tax agent on transferring personal income tax for the company's employees for 2012-2013, amounting in aggregate to over 1 billion rubles, to the state budget," Russian Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin told Interfax at the time.
Meshcheryakov was charged with failure to fulfill obligations as a tax agent on a large scale (Russian Criminal Code Article 199.1, Part 2).
But Markin told Interfax on February 18 that, "as the result of investigative work, Su-155 has fulfilled obligations to pay taxes, fines and penalties exceeding 2 billion rubles into the budget, serving as grounds to close the criminal case in connection with criminal, damages inflicted on the country's budget system."
