CS2 pro Aleksib faces four-month suspended sentence over aggravated tax fraud charges

Finnish CS2 player Aleksi "Aleksib" Virolainen faces a requested four-month suspended prison sentence over alleged aggravated tax fraud. Prosecutors say he failed to declare €53,000 in income from Valve in 2020, avoiding about €28,000 in taxes; he admitted the omission but said he was 22 and did not understand the tax rules, and pleaded not guilty. The indictment was read at Eastern Uusimaa District Court on October 16, with a ruling expected later, and he currently plays for Natus Vincere.
