Belarus decides to extradite Baumgertner to Russia
Russia's Office for Prosecutor General has informed this on Thursday with a reference to the Belarusian colleagues.
"Baumgertner will be transferred under the jurisdiction of Russia's law-enforcement authorities soon," Interfax-West quotes the representative of Russia's office for Prosecutor General.
In Russia, the case of the Uralkali CEO is considered by the chief administration of the Investigatory Committee. Baumgertner is accused of power abuse.
Uralkali CEO Vladislav Baumgertner was detained at a Minsk airport after a meeting with Belarusian PM Mikhail Myasnikovich on August 26. The Belarusian Investigation Committee announced that the Uralkali CEO did damage to Belarus’ national interests. Baumgertner was accused of power and authority abuse. The Belarusian Potash Company lost 100 million dollars, the Committee claimed. The charges were changed later – the Uralkali CEO is accused of embezzlement now.
Baumgertner spent a month in KGB prison and was put under house arrest in Minsk. His case papers make up 19 volumes.
The enquiry about Uralkali CEO's extradition to Russia was sent to Belarus in the end of October.
