Kherson resident agrees to work as a deputy doctor under occupation

Following a public prosecution supported by the Beryslav District Prosecutor's Office, the court sentenced a resident of Kherson. The man was found guilty of committing collaboration under Part 5 of Article 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

This was reported by the Kherson Regional Prosecutor's Office.

Prosecutors of the Beryslav District Prosecutor's Office proved that in August 2022, the man agreed to cooperate with the occupation administration by taking the position of Deputy Chief Medical Officer for Administrative and Economic Affairs in the body illegally created by the occupiers - the so-called "Kherson Regional Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology".

While holding this position, the collaborator performed organizational, administrative and economic functions. In particular, he controlled the economic activities of the institution, was responsible for the expenditure of material and financial resources and coordinated the work of subordinates.

It is noted that until the sentence enters into force, the convict will be held in custody.

Also, under the procedural supervision of the Kherson Regional Prosecutor's Office, a local resident was served in absentia with a notice of suspicion of implementing the educational standards of the occupiers and aiding the aggressor state.

According to the investigation, in July 2022, the 55-year-old man took up the position of the so-called 'director' of the illegally created Holoprystan School No. 1. In December of the same year, the traitor registered the institution in the Russian register of legal entities and fully implemented the educational programs of the Russian Federation in the educational process.

The new 'head' was introduced to the teaching staff in the presence of representatives of the occupation authorities and Russian special services. Then the collaborator announced that from now on, education and document flow would be conducted in Russian using Russian textbooks. Later, he called on teachers and technical staff to join the illegal institution.
