A criminal case was opened against the former head of Gomel, Pryvalau
Immediately after his resignation, Pryvalau was predicted a promotion — there were talks that his friend would take him to Minsk. But everything turned out differently, Flagstok learned.
Officially, nothing is reported about the detention and criminal case, but, according to the publication's source, the ex-chairman of the city executive committee is accused of schemes involving the resale of apartments.
Preliminary, there are other officials involved in the case.
Pryvalau was held in the Gomel pre-trial detention center, but may have recently been released on his own recognizance (under a non-departure agreement).
Thus, Pryvalau may repeat the fate of his predecessor. In 2014, another former chairman of the city executive committee, Viktor Pilipets, was sentenced to 5 years in prison in a case involving corruption and real estate schemes. Pilipets and several officials were found guilty of illegally distributing and appropriating 24 new apartments built for those in need. The ex-chairman was accused of abuse of power and official authority, but he categorically denied his guilt.
Immediately after his resignation, Pryvalau was predicted a promotion — among local officials, there were talks that his friend would take him to one of the ministries in Minsk. But everything turned out the opposite — instead of a high position, the ex-official received an indictment for a criminal offense.
Bidding farewell to Pryvalau, who headed Gomel for about three and a half years, the chairman of the regional executive committee Ivan Krupko, "personally and on behalf of all Gomel residents," thanked him "for the transformative work he developed in the city." Krupko also noted that Pryvalau was "one of the few leaders who personally maintained a chat-bot, which allowed for prompt resolution of many citizens' appeals."
