“I am brutally asking leaders. Recently (detained) at once all four (directors) of sugar factories. Here they are sitting now and asking - let go, let's go to the collective farm to load manure. I say: “We don’t load manure with a pitchfork, so sit there,” RIA Novosti quoted Lukashenko as saying.

He noted that the directors "confessed where they stole, gave everything away, everything, they say, only take it to prison, do not put it in prison."

Earlier, Lukashenko explained the detention of all directors of sugar factories in the country.
