On a dock also former director of Slonimsky worsted spinning mill Valentina Venskovskaya and the associate director of the Minsk firm "Fleksomir" Vitaly Razovsky . Also Belarusian representation of the German company "Konveks International" and its heads Pavel Golovenko and Sergey Golovenko appears in business.

According to the investigators, interests of this company lobbied accused with calculation to earn large reward for the services.


Private firms paid holiday of the former chairman «Беллегпромà»

Михаил Knots was appointed the chairman of "Bellegprom" at the end of 2012. His predecessor Gennady Vyrko left with scandal. Lukashenko visited JSC Kamvol and ordered to expel Vyrko and his deputy "for a mess at the enterprise". Knots to a position of the chairman of concern came from Sukno factory to which too there were many questions.

In 2012 Mikhail Suchkov got acquainted with the associate director of JSC Fleksomir Vitaly Razovsky. That reduced it with the management of "Konveks international" to sign the contract for delivery of the new equipment for Sukno factory. Contract cost — 17 million euros. In the 2013th the decree of the president "About some questions of JSC Sukno was adopted. It was provided the budgetary financing of modernization of factory.

On a consequence Razovsky declared that for the favorable solution of a question with "Konveks international" Suchkov was promised by 1 million dollars. The impressive sum, but what upon? the Consequence established br to br that Golovenko and Razovsky paid holiday of the former chairman of "Bellegprom" and its family twice. At first for a week in Germany, then for a week in Spain. Total amount of permits — 2361 euros.

It is all sums which are specified in charge. Million dollars sounds only as the promise Suchkova and his intention to receive this money. However, it completely denies fault.



Charge which the prosecutor Sherstnev for persuasiveness read in court two times, to Mikhail Suchkov is shown by p in attempt at a bribe (p.1 to Art. 14, h. 3 Art. 430 of UK) and abuse of power or office powers (h. 3 Art. 424 of UK).

According to case papers, Knots at first helped employees of "Konveks international" to make the correct demand for open competition, and then did everything possible that this firm won. At that time he already was the chairman of "Bellegprom".

"However could not finish criminal intention on its independent circumstances, — were declared by the state prosecutor. — In February, 2014 of Knots was arrested".

to Hear opinion of the most accused yet it was not possible. According to the petition of the prosecutor in court at first will interrogate all witnesses, and their about hundred people, will study written case papers among which data on the wiretap of phones and supervision, and only after that will pledge the word to the accused.
"I listened to br of what me accuse. Certainly, it would be desirable to express about it. Such feeling, I one in the country all this made", — the only thing that managed to declare Knots in court on November 2.



One more important nuance. According to the statement of the Prosecutor General's Office, Mikhail Suchkov, being the chairman of "Bellegprom", coordinated appointment of the two deputies who had a criminal record — the vice-president on production Sergey Bezik in 2007 was condemned by strong for bribery and fraud, the vice-president on legal issues Alexander Matveenko is condemned by strong in 2008 for receiving a bribe. For these faces given the moment in concern do not work.

the Committee of inquiry reported that on business three apartments in Minsk, two cars in the total cost more than 130 thousand dollars, gold ingots, more than 1 million dollars are arrested. The lawyer Suchkova Gennady Runov refused to answer strong a question that from the arrested property belongs to his client.


at the time of arrest the former director of Slonimsky factory still was going to become a deputy

Valentina Venskovskaya
Suchkova connects that also suspect it of illegal cooperation with the Konveks International company With accused .

Venskovskaya was the Director of Slonimsky worsted spinning mill eight years. In Soviet period it was the city-forming enterprise, with the highest salary on the area and profitability higher than 45%. Those times disappeared long ago, in 2004 in general there was a question of closing factory, in shops thought to grow up mushrooms, to let out MDF, paving slabs and even to support quails — ideas was much. But from the budget allocated 1 million dollars, and the enterprise continued work. Replacement of all equipment required 25 million euros, the sum very heavy therefore decided to carry out dot modernization.



In September, 2013 Valentina Venskovskaya got acquainted with the businessman Alexander Kuzmich who reduced it everything with the same Golovenko, the head of the Konveks International company later. The question stood the same, as with "Cloth" — acquisition of the European equipment. And again lobbying of interests of the company at open competition.

the Transaction estimated at 1,2 million euros. The Konveksa offer on 140 thousand euros was more expensive, than the price of the producer. Venskovskaya's bribe, according to the investigators, had to make 36 thousand euros. But before transfer of money, as appears from charge, business did not reach. But the consequence established br to br that the former director of Slonimsky factory went abroad in business trips twice. And appropriated money which the enterprise allocated with it for the road and accommodation twice. Instead of it Golovenko and Kuzmich paid for the plane and hotel. Total amount — 660 euros. In this part the accused admits the guilt (p.1 UK Art. 211).

Besides, it impute preparation to receiving a bribe (p.1 to Art. 13, h. 3 Art. 430 of UK), excess of the power or office powers (h. 2 Art. 426 of UK), h. 2 Art. 210 (plunder by abuse of office powers), office negligence (UK Art. 428).

the Last episode of charge — destruction of a bricklaying of a chimney at factory. The enterprise was constructed in the late seventies. Many constructions need reconstruction. Venskovskaya accuse that contrary to recommendations did not carry out repair of a pipe, as a result in March of the 2014th when accused already was in custody, there was an accident. Then without heat municipal objects in Slonim stayed at home also. The damage is estimated at 595 million rubles.
the Curious moment — in day when Valentina Venskovskaya was detained, the slonimsky regional newspaper printed with br data on the registered candidates for local elections. Was among them and the former director of worsted spinning mill, and of the district No. 17 it went is uncontested. It were the second elections for Venskovskaya. In 2010th it already won with result against 61,5% and four years successfully sat at the commission on economy, the budget and finance.
the Lawyer Venskovskoy drew br on that as her client allowed to act today in court as during a consequence "interrogations were carried out formally", charge was changed by em from "receiving a bribe" to "preparation for receiving". However the court did not support arguments of the defender. Vitaly Razovsky
, the associate director of the Fleksomir company, that intermediary between "Bellegprom" and "Konveks international" management was p>



the Most laconic in the first day of judicial proceedings.

It completely admitted the guilt — the bribery made by criminal group on preliminary arrangement (h. 2 Art. 17, p.1 UK Art. 431). Half a year it was in custody, but in August the 2014th measure of restraint concerning it was changed.
Heads of "Konveks international" Pavel Golovenko and Sergey Golovenko pass br on business as witnesses. Also will soon answer questions in court. Trial, judging by number of witnesses and volumes of criminal case, will be tightened for some months.
