Vitebsk teacher-businessman defrauded Minsk firms of almost Br100 million.

April 17, Vitebsk / Olga Bogacheva - BELTA /. A Vitebsk teacher-businessman defrauded Minsk firms of almost Br100 million, Dmitry Orekhva, senior prosecutor of the department for supervision of the legality of court decisions in criminal cases of the Vitebsk region prosecutor's office, told a BELTA correspondent. In March 2011, a former teacher born in 1984 decided to earn money fraudulently and for this purpose went to the capital to "establish" business contacts. Using forged documents, the "director" took orders for further sale of outerwear, footwear, flowers, leather goods, and other products for prepayment, which he then sold at a loss. In total, 11 Minsk enterprises of various forms of ownership suffered from the actions of the enterprising businessman. The deception of the Vitebsk resident was revealed when it was time to pay the bills. Taking into account the full admission of guilt and almost full compensation for the damage caused, the court sentenced the young man to four and a half years of restriction of freedom and treatment for alcohol dependence. -0-
