April 22, Vitebsk / Olga Bogacheva - BELTA /. The director of a Minsk company supplied the Vetrino Housing and Communal Services with oil emulsion under the guise of fuel oil, the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee's Internal Affairs Department's Economic Crimes Investigation Department (ECID) informed a BELTA correspondent. As an official, the 36-year-old head of a Minsk limited liability company concluded an agreement with the Vetrino Housing and Communal Services enterprise for the supply of 122.5 tons of M-100 fuel oil worth over Br93 million. However, instead of fuel, the unscrupulous director supplied 122.5 tons of oil emulsion, the price of which was Br21.3 million. He planned to keep the difference for himself and managed to embezzle Br39.5 million. However, law enforcement officers, who uncovered the crime, prevented further embezzlement. A criminal case has been initiated against the director for embezzlement through abuse of office, committed on a particularly large scale, under Part 4 of Article 210 of the Criminal Code of Belarus, which provides for up to 12 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property and deprivation of the right to hold certain positions. -0-
