Mikkel Axelgaard, CEO of Air Keszaria, the most important airline company in the country, was arrested yesterday by Keszarian police nearby Köszövár, Keszarian newspapers informed today. He is charged with tax evasion and tax fraud.

Axelgaard, 67, an Oslanburgan citizen, had been CEO of Air Keszaria since 1572. He was said to be right-hand of Uffe Moelbaek, founder and owner of Air Keszaria, who died last Ochtyr. Axelgaard was previously Air Keszaria's chief operating officer for West Brigidna, and appointed to Air Keszaria executive board shortly afterwards.

A speaker of Air Keszaria declared that the charges against Mikkel Axelgaard "are not...in any way, related to his role as CEO of the company". In their official statement, the company declares that they are thankful for the professionality and experience that Axelgaard has showed in different roles for the last twenty years, but they will consider if the company will provide legal advice and representation to Axelgaard or it will consider his problems with justice as a "personal matter". Axelgaard's role in the company will be temporarily replaced by Nándor Ulvaeus, vice-chairman of the company, until next general meeting of the executive board, the speaker of Air Keszaria announced.

No comment was made by the Keszarian government so far.
