In Belarus, the term of detention of the former General Director of the Minsk Plant Refrigerators Leonid Kalugin was extended. He is in a psychiatric clinic

The lawyer of the former director Alexander Pilchenko believes that Kalugin is placed in a psychiatric clinic illegally. Such a decision requires a separate sanction of the prosecutor, which no one gave. Leonid Kalugin is accused of abuse of power and exceeding official powers. According to protection, Kalugin could apply such a measure of detention as house arrest. It is interesting that the former director of the refrigerators factory is known for his deep religiosity - Orthodox icons hung in the premises of the plant, the director allocated large funds for the construction of temples. It is also worth recalling that Kalugin was nominated by a candidate for the post of president of Belarus in the last election. Meanwhile, the lawyer of another arrested, former director of the Minsk Tractor Plant Leonid Leonov, is convinced of the illegality of the dismissal of his client. The lawyer did not receive an answer to his petition on this issue. The order of dismissal is illegal, the lawyer believes, since it can only be dismissed when the suspect was convicted, and the sentence entered into legal force.
