Illness of the accused postponed the re-trial against the businessman for hiding taxes in particularly large amounts. The manager of a company in Jebel avoided payment of BGN 745,897.
The meeting was supposed to be held in July, after the Court of Appeal in Plovdiv overturned the sentence and sent the case back for a new examination by another panel of the District Court in Kardzhali, specified "24 Rodopi".
In November 2022, he was found guilty of having confirmed untruths in submitted reports - declarations regarding value added tax due and paid; used documents with false content when keeping accounts and when presenting information to the revenue authorities; as well as a deducted unfollowed tax credit.
The manager received three years of “imprisonment”, and the sentence was suspended with a probationary period of 4 years. For the committed crimes, the court ordered the confiscation of the 1/2 ideal part of motor vehicles and real estate owned by the defendant.
The Court of Appeal sent the case back for a new trial. The first hearing at the end of April was postponed due to the non-appearance of the defender. At the beginning of June, the reason was the same. In July, the defendant's illness postponed the case. This time it was postponed to September.
We remind you that another case is about to be launched in the court in Kardzhali for tax evasion. There, the amount is nearly BGN 10 million. Five times the hearings were postponed due to the failure of a lawyer to appear or irregular summons.
