Director of a Vitebsk company stole Br237 million under the guise of driving cars from Germany

April 30, Vitebsk / Olga Bogacheva - BELTA /. The director of a Vitebsk company stole Br237.5 million under the pretext of bringing cars from Germany, the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee's Internal Affairs Department's Economic Crimes Unit (ECU) informed a BELTA correspondent. From May to November 2009, the head of the company received large sums from 15 citizens for the delivery of cars from Germany. Having no intention of fulfilling his obligations, the man misappropriated the money. When the cars were not delivered by the appointed time, the scam became obvious, and the deceived Vitebsk residents turned to law enforcement agencies. A criminal case has been initiated against the director under Part 4 of Article 211 of the Criminal Code of Belarus, which provides for up to 20 years of imprisonment with possible confiscation of property and deprivation of the right to hold certain positions. An investigation is underway. -0-
