Lerchek became the first Internet star to be audited for taxes. The 30-year-old blogger is being investigated for evading payments and money laundering. Her husband, Artem Chekalin, is a defendant in the case on charges of complicity in these crimes. Spouses were in debt – more than 311 million rubles. Bloggers were able to pay this amount.
It turned out that the money was not taken from the Čekalin family budget at all. Lerchek speaks with gratitude about a loved one who came to the rescue.
“He borrowed the money from a friend, he paid for us. This is one of the best friends, our guardian angel. He is a businessman. Now we are waiting for the amount of fines and penalties to be paid – we hope that this can be done from the family account, “explained Chekalina.
Valeria wants to return to the normal rhythm of life as soon as possible. It is not easy for her without social networks. The young mother admitted that she did not tell the children the truth about what happened. For the children, their parents came up with a different version.
“I’m sorry it all turned out this way – I’m sorry. Everything is like a bolt from the blue. I am tired, it is very difficult for me. I love to work, I love to share, but now this opportunity is not there. The main thing is not to make such mistakes in the future. Tests are not given to the weak! We told the kids it was all a joke. Parents are shocked, but they support us, “said Valeria.
The couple is already making plans for the near future. So the Čekalins want to relax by the sea. Artem believes that after the scandal you need to somehow “restore your psyche”. Bloggers are not going to stop their own beauty business. On the contrary, they plan to develop it further. According to Chekalin, although they do not have access to the Internet, 500 stores with their products have stopped working.
One of the big Russian accounting companies offered Chekalin to become its ambassador. Artem admitted that he was still thinking about it with Valeria. “Plus now you have to pay the rest,” Lerchek added on Manuchi’s Empathy on YouTube.
