USA blocks more than $1 billion on “Belhaftahim”’s accounts
More than $1 billion has been blocked by the USA on accounts of “Belhaftahim”. Sources in the Belarusian petrochemical industry informed about it. In particular, it was said that the money had been collected to realize Belarusian plans in Venezuela.
So the reaction of the official Minsk to the new sanctions of the White House becomes understandable (“insistent recommendations” that the American Ambassador should leave Belarus and withdrawal of the Belarusian Ambassador to the USA for a consultation).
Washington blocked accounts of “Belnaftahim” in the autumn of 2007. Now the United States has actually closed its market for Belarusian petrochemical enterprises and imposed a legal ban on deals with representative offices and all enterprises of the concern.
Such enterprises are Belarusian oil-processing plants and “Belaruskalii”, notes the web site of AFN.
