The Sovetsky district court of the city of Minsk unjustly found Gennady Fedynich and Ihar Komlik, leaders of the IndustriALL Global Union’s affiliate Belarusian radio and electronics industry workers’ union (REP) guilty of tax evasion and sentenced them to a fine of BYN 47,560 (over US$23,000), a four-year suspended imprisonment and a ban on holding senior positions for 5 years. Both leaders will have to pay also all the court expenses along with administrative fines. During the court trial no convincing evidence was presented. Most of the evidence presented in court looked either rigged or collected in violation of legal norms of Belarus or were not relevant to the trialled period of 2011-2012.
