The alleged crime took place in Vantaa between May 19, 2020, and September 22, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Aleksib is currently one of the superstars of Counter-Strike, also known as CS. He has played for the successful team Natus Vincere, or Navi, since 2023. The following year, he won the PGL Major Copenhagen tournament with his team. It was the first time a Finnish player had won a Major of this level. In 2025, he was also nominated for Finnish Sportsperson of the Year, although he finished far from the top places.<\/p>\n<h2>What the Prosecutor Claims and How the Defense Responds<\/h2>\n<p>According to the summons application, Virolainen did not return his pre-filled tax return for 2019. He also did not report payments that were missing from it and that he had received from Valve. The prosecutor says the unreported taxable income was more than \u20ac53,000. As a result, his income tax was set more than \u20ac28,000 too low.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutor believes Virolainen sought significant financial gain. Therefore, the prosecutor argues that the act should also be seen as aggravated when viewed as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>However, Virolainen sees the case differently. He admits that he did not report more than \u20ac53,000 to the tax authority. At the same time, he denies that he did it on purpose. He also denies that he tried to gain financial benefit.<\/p>\n<p>According to his defense, the unreported income came from the sale of so-called stickers in Counter-Strike. The defense says that Virolainen was 22 years old at the time. In its view, he did not understand that this kind of income is taxable. Meanwhile, tax had been withheld in advance from his actual work income. For this reason, he thought his taxes had already been paid.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 club-section__load-more-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <article class=\"club-hover-connect-parent\">\n    <div class=\"club-top-line\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"club-row club-gutter-none\">\n                    <div class=\"club-col-4 club-col-6-xs\">\n                <figure class=\"picture-16x9 picture-with-gradient\">\n                    <a class=\"club-hover-connect club-hover-connect-img\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/prediction-for-furia-vs-betboom-thunderpick-wc-2026-final\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n                        <picture class=\"\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(max-width: 640px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/HU1kt6YWEAAsJRn-1-768x432.jpg.webp 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/HU1kt6YWEAAsJRn-1.jpg.webp 2x\" type=\"image\/webp\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(max-width: 640px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/HU1kt6YWEAAsJRn-1-768x432.jpg 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/HU1kt6YWEAAsJRn-1.jpg 2x\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(min-width: 641px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/HU1kt6YWEAAsJRn-1-768x432.jpg.webp 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/HU1kt6YWEAAsJRn-1.jpg.webp 2x\" type=\"image\/webp\">\n<source class=\"\" media=\"(min-width: 641px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/HU1kt6YWEAAsJRn-1-768x432.jpg 1x, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/HU1kt6YWEAAsJRn-1.jpg 2x\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/HU1kt6YWEAAsJRn-1-768x432.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/HU1kt6YWEAAsJRn-1.jpg 2x\" alt=\"\" class=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\n<\/picture>                    <\/a>\n                <\/figure>\n            <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"club-col-8 club-col-6-xs club-box-bg--gradient\">\n            <div class=\"club-box-def club-full-height\">\n                <div class=\"club-dynamic-dotted-wrap club-full-height\">\n                    <div class=\"club-h4-title\">\n                        <a class=\"club-link-primary club-hover-connect club-dynamic-dotted__text\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/prediction-for-furia-vs-betboom-thunderpick-wc-2026-final\">\n                            Prediction for FURIA vs BETBOOM \u2014 Thunderpick WC 2026 Final                        <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"club-bottom-line\"><\/div>\n<\/article>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What Happens Next<\/h2>\n<p>The district court will give its verdict at a later date, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iltalehti.fi\/digiuutiset\/a\/5268d0f1-1289-4233-8248-e750e4f5808d\">Iltalehti<\/a>.
