The journalists have been looking for the former Prime Minister of Belarus
Siarhei Rumas for three days already. Whether the security forces are looking for him is another question to which no one has an answer yet.
The ex-prime minister last appeared in messengers at five in the morning on February 3. In the afternoon of the same day, it became known that several top managers of Belagroprombank, which Siarhei Rumas headed from 2005 to 2010, were summoned for interrogations to the Financial Investigation Department of the State Control Committee. Some Belarusian telegram channels reported on the arrest of Rumas and that the interrogations of the bank s employees were connected precisely with his activities - in particular, with the issuance of loans to the Turau Dairy Plant.
The former head of the Amkodor concern
Vasil Shlyndzikau commented to the site udf.by on the forced emigration of ex-Prime Minister
Siarhei Rumas.
The former head of the Amkodor concern also believes that other cases against well-known officials may arise in Belarus. I think
Siarhei Sidorski will be next. If he returns to Belarus from Moscow, then he may not go back. All possible options are being cleaned up. And the Russians probably considered Sidorski s candidacy for the post of Lukashenka s successor. So I think there are still many unexplained events awaiting us, Shlyndzikau said.
