Aliaksandr Vasilevich, the co-owner of the advertising agency Vondel/Hepta and Mint Media, was released in the courtroom.
His trial began on January 24 and was held behind closed doors. Vasilevich was accused of tax evasion on a large scale (Part 2 of Article 243 of the Criminal Code). The court found Vasilevich guilty and sentenced him to three years in a penal colony, but he was released in the courtroom due to statute of limitations for criminal responsibility.
