Governor of the Smolensk region Alexey Ostrovsky at the beginning of this year was listed as a co-founder and owner of a 50 percent stake in the authorized capital of a commercial enterprise, local media reported.
A message appeared on the website of one of the Smolensk magazines that A. Ostrovsky is a co-founder of Belrusbrand LLC, which is engaged in the wholesale trade of non-food, food products and grain.
The material notes that this company was mentioned in the income statement of State Duma deputy Alexei Ostrovsky for 2011.
