The NAVI player is facing allegations of aggravated tax fraud relating to his earnings in 2020, when he was competing for OG.

According to Finnish outlet Iltalehti , prosecutors claim Aleksib failed to report the income on his tax return, allegedly avoiding approximately €28,000 in taxes.
The NAVI captain has reportedly acknowledged that the earnings were not declared but maintains that he did not know the money was subject to taxation.
By 2020, Aleksib had competed at two Majors with ENCE, including the IEM Katowice 2019 Major, where the Finnish roster reached the grand final.
According to court documents reported by Iltalehti, authorities allege that Aleksib deliberately omitted €53,000 in sticker revenue from his 2020 tax declaration.
However, the player reportedly disputes that the omission was intentional, arguing that he was unaware the sticker earnings needed to be reported as taxable income.
Prosecutors are seeking a four-month suspended prison sentence, meaning Aleksib would not immediately serve time in prison if convicted and the sentence were imposed.
Opinion
Fictional bylines. Each take uses a line above and adds no facts.
Natus Vincere can stand on this line: "According to Finnish outlet Iltalehti , prosecutors claim Aleksib failed to report the income on his tax return, allegedly avoiding approximately €28,000 in taxes." It is already on the card, so the case does not need a streak or a roster rumor.
