Head of the event agency "Terra Group".

The Investigative Committee has released details of a criminal case against two people: 42-year-old political prisoner Andrei Yaroshevich and his 36-year-old business partner.

According to security officials, Yaroshevich allegedly collected information about Novopolotsk Colony No. 1, including the personal data of its employees and the conditions of inmates' detention. According to the Investigative Committee, all of this was done for Belpol.

Furthermore, Yaroshevich and his business partner allegedly used their company to finance the "extremist groups" Terra Group Event and SSL Production. Anatoly Kotov worked for the Warsaw-based Terra Group before his mysterious disappearance.

Once the sentence takes effect, you can only write letters to the prisoner. Under Art. 85 of the Penal Code of Belarus, convicts cannot receive money transfers from anyone other than close relatives.
