The court found a native of Luhansk region guilty of collaborative activity (Part 7 of Article 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) for maintaining a public accusation by the prosecutors of the Lviv Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
He was sentenced to 15 years in prison with confiscation of all property. He is also deprived of the right to hold any positions in the state authorities of Ukraine for a period of 15 years.
Prosecutors proved in court that in May 2022 in occupied Skadovsk (Kherson region), the accused voluntarily went to cooperate with the enemy and took a position in an illegal law enforcement agency.
The occupiers appointed him to serve as the head of the so-called “Skadovskoe district department of the Main Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Kherson region”. The latter was created by representatives of the aggressor state.
While in a pseudo-position, the man recruited personnel and employees from the ranks of the so-called police. He also organized the logistical support of the illegally created unit. In addition, the person involved gave instructions on the illegal detention of citizens, who were subsequently detained in the premises of the so-called police department.
A special pre-trial investigation was carried out by the investigators of the SBU Office in the Lviv region.
