The Supreme Court of Belarus has announced the verdict in the case of Aleksandr Buglai

An accomplice of the Nazis was found guilty of genocide of the Belarusian people. Since he died in 1990, the verdict was passed without punishment. The Court found 33 episodes: at least 174 people were killed, including 27 children, at least 77 people were taken into slavery, and the property of residents of at least 9 villages was destroyed. The materials of the criminal case amounted to 68 volumes. Foreign partners, in particular law enforcement agencies and historians of Russia, also participated in the collection of evidence. After the War, Buglai hid in Western Europe, then in the United States. This is the eighth case of the genocide of the Belarusian people, considered by the Supreme Court against the Nazis and their accomplices.
