Alyaksandr Lukashenka<\/b> has appointed Dzmitry Hora<\/b>\u00a0as the new Prosecutor General. He had previously headed the Investigative Committee.<\/p>\n

The post of Prosecutor General became vacant last week after a decision was adopted at the All-Belarusian People\u2019s Assembly to appoint Andrei Shved<\/b> as Chairman of the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

Addressing the new Prosecutor General, Lukashenka said that the Prosecutor\u2019s Office should become a headquarters and take over a number of powers currently assigned to the Security Council apparatus.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Prosecutor\u2019s Office, without even touching on the list of your tasks that were formally written for me here by the Presidential Administration (I know them well enough myself), must become a real headquarters. And not only in the fight against corruption. The Prosecutor\u2019s Office must take over a number of powers that are now assigned to, or in some way transferred to, the apparatus of the Security Council. You must see this from below. I see it. Sometimes we have forgotten about the Prosecutor General and the Prosecutor\u2019s Office. Although Andrei Ivanavich \u2014 otherwise he would not have taken the post of Chairman of the Supreme Court \u2014 is a patriotic person and did a great deal at the Prosecutor General\u2019s Office to ensure that it worked intensively,\u201d<\/i> Lukashenka said.<\/p>\n

Another task assigned to Hara is the fight against corruption. He is expected to conduct this work in cooperation with the new head of the Investigative Committee, Kanstantsin Bychak<\/b>, who previously led the KGB Investigative Directorate.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere you and Kanstantsin Fyodaravich will have to work together. Very seriously.<\/i><\/p>\n

This is unacceptable. I have said it before. By and large, if we do not restrain these corrupt tendencies, we will come to war. It always happens that way. Especially with us Slavs. We are a people who do not tolerate injustice. And corruption is a terrible injustice,\u201d<\/i> Lukashenka noted.<\/p>\n

Dzmitry Hora was born in 1970 in Tbilisi. In 1993, he graduated from the Military Red Banner Institute in Moscow with a degree in law. He served in the KGB, working as an investigator, senior investigator, investigator for especially important cases, and later as head of an investigative department until July 2008. In 2008\u20132009, he headed the Third Directorate of the Operational and Analytical Center. He then returned to the KGB, where from 2009 to 2019 he led the Investigative Directorate.<\/p>\n

Dzmitry Hora has previously worked at the Prosecutor General\u2019s Office. From late 2019 to March 2021, he served as a deputy prosecutor general. In March 2021, he was appointed chairman of the Investigative Committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
