Belarus's Supreme Court on February 12 began the trial of Alyaksandr Barouski, a former chairman of Belnaftakhim, RFE/RL's Belarus Service reported. Barouski, who was appointed the chairman of the state petrochemical company in December 2005, was arrested in May 2007 and charged with embezzlement, abuse of office, and disclosure of secret information. Barouski is facing up to eight years in prison. Additionally, Belnaftakhim has filed suit against him, seeking $1.5 million in damages. Barouski pleaded not guilty and applied for a financial assessment of his operations while chairman. The court agreed to consider his application as well as an application by Barouski's relatives, who asked the court to annul the seizure of their property: a car, two apartments, and a plot of land. The property was seized by investigators who presumed that it was purchased with Barouski's money. AM
