UCP leader may face property confiscation for … paid fine

Anatol Lyabedzka paid 350,000 of fine on the judgement of the court of Orsha, but he is still considered a debtor.

Bailiffs of the Tsentralny district court of Minsk warned the politician about possible confiscation of property for failure to pay the fine over the “Orsha case”. Lyabedzka paid his 350,000 ruble  fine in early May. The UCP leader does not rule out it is done on purpose to explain putting him on the list of persons banned from leaving Belarus, Euroradio reports.

“This paper was a surprise for me. I paid the fine on May 1 or 2 and sent the payment receipt to Orsha by registered mail. It's a shady situation. They want me to have a formal fine to find an excuse for the travel ban,” the UCP leader says.

We remind Anatol Lyabedzka, Syarhei Kalyakin and Alyaksandr Atroshchankau were taken off the train in Orsha on their way to Russia on March 28.  The court of Orsha heard a case over “disorderly conduct” and issued 350,000-ruble fined to each.
