In Slutsk district for bribes and embezzlement tried the former chief engineer and Deputy Director of industrial enterprise

The prosecutor’s office of the Slutsk district supported in court the state prosecution in a criminal case against the former chief engineer and deputy general director of one of the industrial enterprises of the district, as well as a foreign citizen. This was reported in the information service of the Prosecutor’s office of the Minsk region, writes sb.by.

The former chief engineer and deputy head of the enterprise was charged with embezzlement by abuse of official powers in a group of persons by prior conspiracy. The chief engineer is accused of receiving a bribe in an especially large amount, and the deputy director is accused of acquiring, storing and selling material values deliberately obtained by criminal means. A citizen of a foreign state was tried for giving a bribe on an especially large scale.

Thus, the 53-year-old defendant, being the chairman of the permanent commission on commissioning and disposal of fixed assets and intangible assets, at the end of 2024 organized the write-off of two mobile phones owned by the enterprise with a total value of more than 2,000. He then ordered the phones at his discretion.

In late 2024 – early 2025, the chief engineer, together with the deputy general director of the enterprise, made similar actions with respect to a mobile phone provided by the last employer for its work. This allowed a 51-year-old woman to illegally take possession of the property of the organization worth more than 2.7 thousand.

In addition, the accused in January-March 2025 for lobbying the interests of a foreign company in organizing and conducting procurement procedures for equipment took a bribe from a representative of this company in foreign currency, which at the time of the crime amounted to more than 53 thousand rubles. And the accused, knowing reliably about the receipt of a bribe by the chief engineer, took part of the money received from him in foreign currency, and then after some time exchanged them in the bank branch for at least 7.8 thousand.

Taking into account the evidence submitted by the public prosecutor, the Slutsk District Court ruled a conviction.

On the basis of Part 1 and Part 2 of Art. 210, Part 3 of Art. 430 of the Criminal Code, the former chief engineer of the enterprise for a set of crimes was sentenced to imprisonment for a term of 7 years with serving in a correctional colony under enhanced regime with a fine of 700 BV (ом 31.5 thousand). His former colleague in the set of crimes under Part 2 of Article 210 and Part 1 of Article 236 of the Criminal Code was sentenced to restriction of freedom without sending him to an open-type correctional institution for a period of 3 years with a fine of 200 BV (9,000 rubles). Both accused are deprived of the right to hold positions related to the performance of organizational, administrative and economic duties for a period of 5 years.

Taking into account the provisions of Article 70 of the Criminal Code, a 40-year-old foreign citizen was sentenced to a milder sentence - imprisonment for a period of 1 year 6 months with serving in a penal colony under enhanced regime with a fine of 4.9 thousand BV (ом 220.5 thousand).

The sentence has not entered into legal force, can be appealed and appealed on appeal. The Prosecutor General’s office: the former director of one of the meat processing plants was convicted of receiving bribes for а 1.8 million
