Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko authorized political murders in Germany in recent years, according to a sensational recording of his former spy-chief obtained and published by EUobserver.
The Germany attacks never took place, but the plot, which discussed the use of explosives and poison, shows the danger posed to EU states by his rogue regime. Lukashenko’s intelligence service, the KGB, also targeted a Belarusian journalist, Pavel Sheremet, who was subsequently killed in Ukraine on July 20, 2016.
The revelations come as Lukashenko is trying to crush a pro-democracy movement at home using increasing violence. The fact his spy-master was so incompetent he let himself be bugged is a loss of face for the regime. And this website’s publication of the bugged KGB recording amounts to a public colonoscopy of Lukashenko’s most private organs of power.
