"Andrei Shved reported on some results of the investigative team’s work: over 17.5 thousand witnesses and victims were interrogated, including almost 8,000 former prisoners of death camps, more than 480 inspections of the terrain and 40+ excavations were carried out, more than 580 places of citizens’ forced detention, including 90 previously unknown ones, and over 2,500 previously unknown burned villages were established,” the source said.

The Prosecutor General also urged to be critical about the attempts to falsify the results of the investigation into the criminal case of the genocide, which are from time to time published in the destructive media sources and on the Internet. Speaking about traitors to their land, Mr. Shved stressed, “Some traitors from among the Belarusian nationalists – who took the oath of allegiance to Hitler under white-red-white flags – went to the service of the Nazis. The white-red-white cloth is a symbol of punishers and collaborationism."
