Central election Commission of Belarus refused to register the former head of Belgazprombank Viktor Babariko, who is under investigation in registration as a candidate in the presidential elections of the country.
As reported TUT.by with reference to the statement of the CEC, the reason is a mismatch between the Declaration of income and assets and the participation of foreign organizations in its election campaign.
The CEC head Lidziya Yarmoshyna stated that the CEC received a letter from the state control Committee, which stated that Babariko headed the criminal group, “laundering money”.
The Belarusian KGB detained the helper of Babariko
June 18 law enforcement agencies of Belarus have detained Babariko, who previously headed Belgazprombank, as well as his son Edward.
The Prosecutor General of Belarus Aliaksandr kaniuk stated that the criminal acts of the defendants in the case of BGB have threatened the national security of the country.
On 2 July it was reported that Babariko was charged under three articles of the criminal code of Belarus.
