Crimean Prosecutor's Office exposes more than 50 people who collaborated with the occupiers

(COLLAGE: Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine)

The Crimean Prosecutor's Office, together with investigators from the SBU, the police and the State Bureau of Investigation, served more than <b>50 citizens</b> with suspicions. According to the investigation, these people voluntarily sided with the occupiers during the annexation of the peninsula and helped them organize it.

This was reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General.

Among the suspects are former Ukrainian judges and law enforcement officers, top officials of the occupation administrations, participants in illegal "elections," as well as those who transferred resources to the Russian army or spread propaganda.

The "servants of Themis" of the occupation courts decided to deport Crimeans who refused to receive Russian passports. The list of collaborators also includes former employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Border Guard Service, prosecutors and judges who betrayed the state. They are suspected of high treason, violation of the laws of war, collaboration, aiding and abetting the aggressor state and justifying Russian aggression.

The terrorist country has left its ally in the occupation of Crimea to fend for himself, and now money for his treatment is being raised on social media. A charity fund created by a former Ukrainian TV producer has turned into a mutual aid fund for collaborators.

According to the media, Franchetti is a ward of the charitable foundation for veterans and the disabled "Svoiym", registered on February 24, 2022 in occupied Simferopol. The founder of the foundation is Igor Goncharenko, a former Ukrainian music and television producer who headed the National Television Company of Ukraine from 2003 to 2009 and then moved to Crimea to avoid debts and court cases.

In 2024, the foundation regularly published appeals on social media to raise funds for Franchetti's treatment. He reportedly needed urgent surgery on his shoulder, as well as medical care for problems with his eyesight, joints, and heart. In addition, money was raised to buy clothes and orthopedic shoes for the fall and winter.
