Big Businessman’s Property Worth Almost $100 Million Arrested In Belarus

The businessman managed to leave the country.

A businessman from Polatsk and "his six accomplices" are suspected of tax evasion and money laundering, according to the State Control Committee.

The property of the suspects was seized: 68 real estate objects with an area of more than 107 thousand square meters with a total value of at least 92 million euros, including 24 shopping centers, cottages, apartments and luxury cars.

This, most likely, is about Uladzimir Zakharau, a Polotsk entrepreneur who is related to the Strelets Trading House LLC. This is one of the largest retail chains in Polatsk and Navapolatsk, nashaniva.com notes.

According to information that was announced on the air of ONT TV channel, the person involved in the criminal case is "somewhere on the shores of the Persian Gulf".

At the end of last year, information appeared that Uladzimir Zakharau was selling his property.
