Ex-Head of Belarusian TV and Radio Company Jailed

Published: 21 February 2004 y., Saturday
Criminal case of Yahor Rybakow, former chairman of the national TV and Radio Company, who was dismissed last Friday by the decree of Lukashenka, is investigated by the prosecutor’s office of Belarus. While the investigation is carried out, the law-enforcing agencies do dot comment on what grounds Yahor Rybakow was detained. But according to unofficial sources, the addresses of the employees of the company could urge investigators to look into financial activities of the chairman of the company. As Radio Svaboda informs, the investigator of the Department on corruption started interrogation of the former chairman of the company yesterday morning. Most probably Rybakow will be accused of abuse of office and financial machinations.
