Belarus: Businessmen Arrested

Belneftekhim CEO Alexander Borovsky and several other businessmen were arrested May 29 in Minsk, Belarus, for "embezzlement and office abuse," Prosecutor General Pyotr Miklashevich said. It was the first time a high-ranking businessman has been arrested in Belarus. Borovsky criticized Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Kobyakov over the results of Belarusian-Russian crude oil and petroleum negotiations, which Borovsky did not attend, earlier this year.
