The ex-husband of blogger Lerchek was sentenced to 7 years in prison and a fine of almost 200 million.
The Gagarin District Court of Moscow sentenced blogger Artem Chekalin to 7 years in a general regime colony and a fine of 194.5 million rubles in a case involving the transfer of over 250 million rubles abroad, obtained from the fitness marathon "Ideal Body," reports "Kommersant." He was taken into custody in the courtroom. The court also maintained the arrest of the convicted person's property and funds in their accounts. Chekalin was found guilty of transferring funds in Russian currency to non-resident accounts using forged documents. The maximum penalty for this article is 10 years of imprisonment.
Recall that in March 2023, a criminal case was initiated against Chekalin and his ex-wife Valeria Chekalina (Lerchek) for tax evasion. Lerchek allegedly involved her husband and relatives in her fitness marathon business to open individual entrepreneur accounts and evade taxes. At that time, the damage amounted to over 300 million rubles. The court prohibited them from using the internet as a preventive measure in the form of a ban on certain actions. All property and funds in the couple's accounts were seized.
Initially, both spouses were involved in the case. The blogger's ex-wife denied her guilt, while he partially admitted it. In March, the court separated Chekalina's case into a separate proceeding and suspended the process due to her illness.
In March, media reported that the blogger underwent her first chemotherapy and immunotherapy but went completely blind in her right eye. This was revealed by the father of her child and dance coach Luis Squicciarini on his social media.
On March 11, it became known that Chekalina was diagnosed with stage four cancer. According to media reports, it was stomach cancer with metastases. The blogger was hospitalized in intensive care after giving birth. Metastases were found in her lungs. Additionally, Chekalina underwent surgery on her spine because "several vertebrae had already begun to break down." Later, RT, citing a source, reported that a new tumor was discovered in Chekalina's brain. It was also reported that the blogger began to lose vision in one eye.
