Worker Killed Through Foreman's Fault At Gazprom Center Construction Site In Minsk

The firm-developer is trying to evade responsibility.

A Charter97.org reader reports that on March 30, at the construction site of the Gazprom Center, a general-duties man of the EvroAlmaz building company, Viktar Zheru, was killed through the fault of the foreman.

“A concrete block weighing 10 tons fell on him. That happened at the moment when he was tunneling his way under it. The worker’s legs above the knees got trapped. 5 MOE teams arrived at the scene.

After the worker was taken out, he lived for about 30 minutes.

On the same day, the IC opened a criminal case.

Now the management of the company presents the situation in such a way, as if the worker got there on his own initiative. The foreman has hired a lawyer. Zheru was hired off the books. He worked the third day,” – the reader of Charter97.org wrote.
