Suspected counterfeiter arrested in Baranovichi
Police in Baranovichi, the second largest city in the Brest region, on April 19 arrested a programmer employed with the local branch of the National Bank of Belarus on suspicion that he counterfeited money and
documents.
The police said they had found a notebook computer, three forged student cards, and a color copy of a police officer's ID, a photocopy of a $50 note, 112 phone cards and a phone card recharger at the suspect's apartment.
The police said they identified two workers who had allegedly ordered forged notes. In a separate development, security employees of the local
bar "Grand" turned over to the police a 19-year old customer who paid for his drinks with photocopies of 5,000-rubel and 500-rubel bills. The customer was too drunk to be interrogated about the origin of the forged money.
