The general director of the Minsk meat processing plant is suspected of accepting a $4,000 bribe.

It should be reminded that charter97.org was the first to report about the arrest of Uladzimir Lazouski, the general director of the Minsk meat processing plant, for bribery. A site reader reported with a link to his relatives working on the plant that Lazouski is accused of accepting a bribe. The information was implicitly confirmed on the plant. A charter97.org correspondent was told in the director's office that “he is  out of the office at the moment and won't appear here soon.”
