Chairman of the Supreme Council of the DPR Denis Pushilin announced this at a briefing, ITAR-TASS reports.
“Today a new prosecutor was appointed in the DPR, Ravil Khalikov. The first criminal cases have already been initiated against Rinat Akhmetov under two articles: for non-payment of taxes and for attempting to overthrow the government,” Pushilin said.
According to him, the Criminal Code of the DPR is temporarily taken as the basis for the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
As Navigator reported, enterprises of Rinat Akhmetov’s SCM Group refused to pay taxes to the DPR budget. “SCM works exclusively within the legal framework and current legislation of Ukraine. Including in terms of tax payments to the central and local budgets,” noted the SCM press service.
And in response to statements by Rinat Akhmetov, in which he condemned the DPR, a message appeared on the official microblog of the DPR: “Akhmetov made his choice. Unfortunately, this choice is against the people of Donbass. Paying taxes to Kyiv means financing terror in Donbass.” Pushilin also voiced a similar thought. In addition, the DPR leadership raised the issue of nationalizing enterprises.
