Counter-Strike 2 Pro Aleksib Faces Four-Month Suspended Prison Sentence Over Charges of Aggravated Tax Fraud
Finnish Counter-Strike 2 pro Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen is facing a possible four-month suspended prison sentence over alleged “aggravated tax fraud” after failing to declare income from in-game sticker sales.
Finnish professional Counter-Strike 2 player Aleksi "Aleksib" Virolainen could face a four-month suspended prison sentence after allegedly failing to declare €53,000 in income (approximately $59,553.18 USD) from in-game sticker sales in 2020. Prosecutors claim that this decision resulted in an estimated €28,000 ($31,441 USD) tax evasion, but Virolainen maintains he was unaware of the tax obligations at the time.
He was accused of not declaring this income between May 19, 2020 and September 22, 2020 in Vantaa, Finland, and has not been formally convicted of the crime. A district court will issue a ruling on the case in the future.
