Representative of the Khvastous’ Family Clan Under Investigation :: Charter'97 :: News

In Navapolatsk the acting director of the state enterprise “Disna” (Navapolatsk market) Mikhail Aliokhin is under investigation. Last week he was detained on charges relating bribery. Navapolatsk branch of the Department on Economic Crimes refused to comment on this fact and information that the rifle and a big sum of money in dollars were confiscated by search, and that in the storage areas of the market the goods were found that were not registered in documents.

As today’s “Narodnaya Volya” informs, this incident is remarkable because Aliokhin, the chairman of the city Council of Afghan war veterans, was placed to the detention cell on the eve of his holiday, the Day of memory of the Afghan war “warriors-internationalists”.

Besides, Mikhail Aliokhin is a zealous supporter of the existing regime, the “Belarusian order”, and it seems that the authorities should have protect and cherish those who are devoted to them. But… Mikhail Aliokhin frequently said that he aspires for the chair of the city official. He boasted that it is possible with his brother’s-in-law patronage.

As said by Aliokhin, his wife’s maiden name is Khvastova, and he is a sister of the Belarusian Minister of Foreign Affairs.

FM press secretary Pavel Latushka refused to comment relations of the minister with the director of the Navapolatsk market. But the fact that in three days M. Aliokhin was released is meaningful, as Belarusian investigators usually release only those who has admitted guilt or who is supported by the authorities.
