"Specialists from Moscow" demand that business of Zaporizhzhia pay bribes to occupiers under guise of "taxes"

"Specialists from Moscow" have created a kind of "tax inspection" in the occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia oblast, which will control the collection of bribes from local businessmen. Gauleiter of the uncontrolled part of the oblast Yevgeniy Balitskiy, appointed by the invaders, spoke about this in a commentary to the russian media.

"A tax code has already been created… From July 1, we will have a 5% tax on revenue and 10% for those who deal in any excisable goods – alcohol and cigarettes", - he voiced the size of the tribute.

According to the collaborator, "the tax inspectorate, which includes three specialists from Moscow, has already begun to work".

Earlier, Balitskiy stated that residents of the occupied Zaporizhzhia were "exempted" from paying "Ukrainian" taxes and fees.
