US EditionMystery in Cyprus: Former Uralkali CEO Found Dead
Vladislav Baumgertner’s body was identified by DNA after going missing from Limassol; investigation into cause and circumstances of death continues, police said.
- On Wednesday, authorities in Cyprus confirmed the body discovered last month on a beach is Vladislav Baumgertner, former Uralkali chief executive, who went missing from Limassol on Jan. 7.
- Baumgertner was placed under house arrest in September 2013 after a dispute escalated between Uralkali and its Belarusian trading partner, analysts said his arrest was retaliation for Uralkali pulling out.
- Within a U.K. Sovereign Base Area on Cyprus's southern coast, the body was recovered; Baumgertner had been living above his Limassol business amid a large Russian expatriate community.
- British Sovereign Base Areas police said an investigation into the circumstances and cause of death is ongoing, and Baumgertner's relatives have been notified.
- About a quarter of the world's potash was once exported through the joint venture, and Alexander Lukashenko said Uralkali's actions harmed Belarus's economy after prosecutors opened an abuse-of-office probe following Baumgertner's extradition.
