President Alexander Lukashenko pardoned Emmanuel Seltzer, a U.S. attorney earlier sentenced to three years of imprisonment for forgery and commercial espionage. Seltzer was an attorney of Josef Kay, a relative of the late Georgian billionaire Arkady “Badri” Patarkatsishvili, struggling with other family members for Badri’s inheritance. Seltzer arrived to Belarus in March 2008 to claim some local assets of Badri. Seltzer was immediately arrested and in August 2008 sentenced on will forgery allegations. Notably, a court in Georgia found the disputed will authentic.
