(UK Statement of Reasons):The Main Economic Department of the Administrative Affairs Office of the President of the Republic of Belarus (GHU) is the largest operator on the non-residential real estate market in Belarus. GHU provides revenue and logistical support for the Belarusian regime and therefore directly supports the regime’s repressive actions. GHU’s former Director, Viktor Sheiman was one of the longest standing members of Lukashenko’s inner circle, and took part in preparations of the fraudulent Presidential elections, being responsible for security of polling stations. GHU acts at the direction of Valery Ivanov, who has supported or promoted the undermining of democracy by the Lukashenka regime in his role as the Head of the President Property Management Directorate.
