KDC revealed a scheme of illegal money siphoning in Belarusian show business
Representatives of show business used a scheme through an affiliated legal entity in Russia. This was reported by KDC Chairman Vasily Gerasimov, Sputnik writes. Presumably, the conversation is about the detention of Maxim Prykhodouski, director of the Palace of the Republic, about whom "Nasha Niva" earlier reported .

The essence of the scheme is that services for the performance of performers and artists at concerts in state cultural institutions were provided on behalf of a Russian company in Belarus.
According to KDC data, in 2022-2024, the organizers siphoned more than 16 million Belarusian rubles abroad through this channel and concealed profits of 2.8 million rubles. The name of the firm and the names of its figures are not disclosed.
Presumably, the case concerns the detention of Maxim Prykhodouski, director of the Palace of the Republic and deputy of the Minsk City Council, as well as heads of private event companies, about whom "Nasha Niva" previously reported. The former director of the Palace of the Republic is already free and even in a new position.
Gerasimov also announced other results of the controllers' work. Thus, according to him, the KDC uncovered a group that imported medical goods into the country on behalf of a foreign company. The amount of unpaid income tax to the budget amounted to 4.5 million Belarusian rubles.
In total, last year 195 crimes related to tax evasion were detected.
Also, in 2025, the KDC recorded more than 120 instances of "envelope wages" payments. Cases of "grey income" payments affected more than 11 thousand employees of commercial organizations.
