Aleh Arlou is a businessperson operating in Belarus. He is the owner of Ruzekspeditsiya LLC since 7 August 2023.
Since 2019 Aleh Arlou’s company has conducted its business from the Bremino-Orsha Special Economic Zone (SEZ), established by a presidential decree of Aliaksandr Lukashenka, which is managed by Bremino Group LLC. Companies established in the Bremino-Orsha Special Economic Zone profit from tax and other financial advantages. Bremino-Orsha SEZ is home to and therefore gives these benefits to only six companies, including Bremino Group LLC. The decision as to who is allowed to share in the benefits of the Bremino-Orsha SEZ by becoming its resident, lies solely with Bremino Group LLC as the managing company of the SEZ.
According to journalists’ investigations, Ruzekspeditsiya is involved in a sanctions evasion scheme concerning Council Regulation (EC) No 765/2006.
It follows that Arlou is associated with entities listed under Regulation (EC) No 765/2006, namely Ruzekspeditsiya LLC and Bremino Group. Through his ownership of the company he also benefits from the advantages granted to Ruzekspeditsiya LLC by the regime. He also partakes in a scheme designed to frustrate Council Regulation (EC) No 765/2006.
