OREANDA-NEWS. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that the former head of Belgazprombank, unregistered presidential candidate Viktar Babaryaka began to testify in a criminal case of corruption.

The head of state instructed to familiarize experts from Interpol and a number of other countries with the materials on the Belgazprombank case. The President of Belarus claims that “there is no political order.” “None of them will become a prisoner of conscience – all these prisoners, and there are already about 30 of them. All of them testify,” Lukashenko said on the air of the TV channel Belarus 1.

Babaryka was arrested in June in connection with the Belgazprombank case. He is accused of tax evasion, financial fraud and bribery. The businessman linked his criminal persecution with the attempt of running for the country’s president. The Central Election Commission of Belarus refused to register him as a candidate.
