Belarus can convey Baumertner of Russia

The investigating authorities of Belarus decided to highlight materials against Russian citizens under potassium, to separate production and transfer them to the Russian Prosecutor General, Vedomosti reports with reference to the statement of the deputy Russian Prosecutor General Alexander Zvyagintsev. With such a statement, Zvyagintsev made after a telephone conversation with the prosecutor general of Belarus Alexander Konyuk. The representative of the Prosecutor General confirmed this information. Representatives of the Investigative Committee of Belarus and Uralkalia refused to comment.

Belarusian investigators suspect that Russian managers who worked in the Belarusian potassium company (sold the products of Uralkali and Belaruskali), were damaged by the trader for $ 100 million. Criminal cases were instituted against the CEO of Uralkali, Vladislav Baumertner, who headed the Supervisory Board of BKK, his deputy Oleg Petrov, Russian employees of BKK Konstantin Solodovnikov, Igor Evstratov, Dmitry Samoilov, as well as the main owner of Uralkalia, Suleiman Kerimov (its fund belongs to 21.75 percent of the company's shares).

Baumertner was arrested at the Minsk airport on August 26 after negotiations with the Prime Minister of Belarus Mikhail Myasnikovich. Last Friday, the Mingorsud did not satisfy the complaint of Baumertner's lawyers against the decision of the Partizan region of Minsk, who had previously refused to change the Russian preventive measure.

When the materials are transferred to the Russian prosecutor's office, Baumertner’s transfer may follow this to continue investigative actions in Russia, says a source close to Uralkalia.

If the materials of the criminal case are transferred to Russian prosecutors, it is advisable to send Baumertner to Russia for further interrogations, the managing partner of the College Levant and Partners Matvey Levant said to the publication. In Russia, he will most likely change the measure of restraint, for example, the expert is sure to subscription about a lower -off wizard.
