Human rights activists spoke about the conflict of interests of the head of Rosselkhoznadzor
Representatives of Transparency International intend to apply to the Prosecutor General’s Office with a request to check for the presence of signs of an unresolved conflict of interests by the head of Rosselkhoznadzor Sergei Dankvert, who owns assets in the field controlled by his department. About this, the deputy director of the organization, Ilya Shumanov told the "Center for the Office of Investigations" (CUR).
Transparency International and the CUR explained that Dankwert owns the shares of the Agro -Rog -ROOKS -ROOKS, LLC Domstroy, LLC Standard Plus and Ozernaya Hunting Economy.
“This automatically creates a situation of conflict of interest. At the same time, Dankvert had the possibility of resolving the conflict of interests: he should have abandoned business assets related to the industry regulated by him, but this was not done, ”Schumanov emphasized.
Rosselkhoznadzor spokesman Julia Melan told RBC that information about these assets is in the public domain. She emphasized that “talking about lobbying interests is completely pointless” and added that the property was inherited by the father from the father, who died in 2013.
On February 3, the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko instructed to start a criminal case against Dankvert. He explained that "all these Dankverts are interested, each has a huge Latifundia, they themselves are manufacturers of a particular product." On February 7, a pre -investigation check began regarding the actions of the Rosselkhoznadzor. The Kremlin called for the Belarusian leader to decide “in a calm manner, through business negotiations” all economic and economic issues.
Russia, in turn, from February 6 banned the supply of beef from the Minsk region to the country. This decision was made after the Rosselkhoznadzor suspected Belarusian enterprises in the use of Ukrainian and European meat. Minsk refused to conduct an audit, which confirmed, according to the agency, the suspicions put forward earlier.
