The Joint Transitional Cabinet decided on the restitution issues.

The Joint Transitional Cabinet presented proposals for the return of illegally confiscated property after democratic changes in the country. As the reform writes, the proposals were developed by the representative of the military-industrial complex for the restoration of law and order, Nikolai Kozlov, and the representative of the military-industrial complex for economy and finance, Aliza Ryzhichenko.

Koslov proposes adopting a separate constitution that will determine a procedure for examining court decisions, restoring property that is not lawful and payment of compensation. The state must return the rights of victims and compensate for losses according to the property’s market value. According to the court’s decision, a buyer who has consciously acquired confiscated property may bear financial responsibility, Koslov believes. At the same time, buyers who did not know about the illegal origin of the property they purchased must maintain the property, but the victims will receive compensation from the country, Rizchienko emphasized.

It is proposed to pay compensation not only from the state budget, but also to use the property of judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officers and officials involved in illegal confiscations, as well as assets of the regime and its associates acquired as a result of corruption schemes. Kozlov suggests creating a register of confiscated property today.

By the way, a few days ago, two confiscated apartments of the former lieutenant colonel of the Belarusian police, one of the leaders of the BYPOL initiative, Alexander Azarov, were sold at auction.
