The Prosecutor General’s Office has sent to court a criminal case involving a large bribe in Belarus’s energy system.
Charges have been brought against the first deputy director general of a major enterprise, as well as the head of a private company and his deputy.
“According to the case materials, the top manager of the energy system enterprise received a bribe of 134,000 Belarusian roubles in September 2025 in exchange for ensuring the selection of a specific private organisation as the supplier of goods — a prefabricated block transformer substation in a concrete casing worth around 1.2 million Belarusian roubles — and for signing a contract for the supply of such a substation for a construction project,” the Prosecutor General’s Office said.
It was noted that the defendants fully admitted their guilt. Their property worth more than 2 million Belarusian roubles has been seized.
The employee of the state-owned enterprise remains in custody, the person accused of paying the bribe has been released on bail and his alleged accomplice has been placed under travel restrictions and an obligation of good behaviour.
