And given that the sanctions for such offenses are quite strict, it is necessary to take care of reliable protection.

Individual entrepreneur

A criminal case was initiated under Art. 427 part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus. There was a threat of deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions with a fine and, accordingly, a criminal record. Lawyer Petrochenko R.V. found on the Internet. It was important for me to read a large number of positive reviews and was not mistaken. Several consultations were held with a detailed analysis of the current situation, where specific advice and ways to solve the problem were given. As a result, the result is an exemption from criminal liability with administrative charges, plus a relatively small fine compared to what was previously threatened. Thanks to lawyer Petrochenko R.V. for competent advice.
