They threaten to take away Gazprom's assets from Lukashenko and imprison Miller
Gazprom “treacherously” interfered in the presidential elections in Belarus by supporting Alexander Lukashenko’s main competitor, Viktor Babariko, and will be punished for this in the form of loss of assets.
Political scientist Pyotr Petrovsky, close to the administration of the Belarusian president, wrote about this on his Facebook, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Gazprom’s direct and treacherous interference in the Belarusian elections makes the prospects for these assets in Belarus dim. Why? If Minsk closes its eyes and does not take any action, it will demonstrate the parties’ impunity for interfering in the Belarusian elections. Those. some repressive actions against Gazprom’s assets in Belarus should be expected,” Petrovsky wrote.
Further in the comments, he clarified that “the court will decide to compensate Gazprom for the losses of Belarus as a result of fraud and interference in elections in the amount of assets through their confiscation.” In polemical fervor, Petrovsky even allowed the arrest of the head of Gazprom, Alexei Miller.
“If they confused the Rams there, that means their wings will be cut off. And if our ally, the Russian Federation, as the main owner, could not explain to Gazprom how to behave in Belarus, then Belarus will do it. Moreover, I do not rule out repeating Baumgertner’s story with Miller.(the general director of the Uralkali company spent 2013 months in a Belarusian pre-trial detention center in 3 - ed.). And I think that in Russia they will only be glad to see Miller as a prisoner in an American prison,” Petrovsky wrote.
The political scientist offers the Russian monopoly to buy off Belarusian repressions with a discount on gas.
“It all started with Gazprom, so let Gazprom finish everything. And a reduction in gas prices, or rather the creation of uniform pricing principles in the EAEU, would be good compensation for one’s intervention,” Petrovsky wrote.
Lukashenko’s most dangerous competitor in the upcoming presidential elections, Viktor Babariko, previously headed Belgazprombank for 20 years.
On June 12, it became known that the National Bank of Belarus decided to replace the managers of Belgazprombank, whose main shareholders are the Russian Gazprom and Gazprombank.
A day earlier, about 50 employees of the financial investigation department of the State Control Committee of Belarus (DFR KGC) conducted a search at the head office of Belgazprombank. A criminal case has been initiated under articles relating to tax evasion and money laundering. 15 bank employees, including top management, were detained.
