Finnish Counter‑Strike 2 pro Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen faces a possible four‑month suspended prison sentence for aggravated tax fraud after failing to declare €53,000 earned from in‑game sticker sales in 2020. Prosecutors argue he avoided paying roughly €28,000 in taxes, while Virolainen claims ignorance of tax obligations at age 22. The indictment was read on October 16 at the Eastern Uusimaa District Court, and a ruling is pending. He remains an active Natus Vincere player.
