A 28-year-old sole proprietor, working as a tire salesman, misappropriated over 17,700 Belarusian rubles of cash revenue (from October to November 2025). The organization received only non-cash payments, while the entrepreneur kept the cash for himself.
Concerns were raised when it was discovered that the goods were selling well, but the monetary receipts to the company's accounts did not correspond to the volume of goods sold. An audit confirmed the shortage, and the materials were handed over to the investigative authorities, initiating a criminal case. During interrogation, the suspect confessed that he resorted to breaking the law due to accumulated debts. Notably, the man had no prior legal issues and had not been prosecuted. The investigation is ongoing. However, at the current stage, the individual has fully compensated for the damage caused.
Under Part 3 of Article 211 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus, the suspect faces: restriction of liberty (2–5 years) or imprisonment (2–7 years) with or without a fine, and potentially the deprivation of the right to hold certain positions.
