Occupation official from Crimea charged with high treason

An occupation official from Crimea will be tried for treason and collaboration.

This was reported by the press service of the Prosecutor's Office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol.

The post says that the autonomy's prosecutor's office has sent an indictment against an occupation official from Crimea to the court. His actions are qualified as high treason (Part 1 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) and collaboration (Part 5 of Article 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The accused faces up to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property.

The investigation established that prior to the occupation of the peninsula, the citizen of Ukraine held the position of First Deputy Head of the Territorial Department of the State Committee of Ukraine for Industrial Safety, Labor Protection and Mining Control in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. However, in 2014, the accused betrayed the oath of a civil servant and began working in the occupation Interregional Directorate of the Federal Service for Environmental, Technological and Nuclear Supervision in the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol as a "head of department" and later as a "deputy head". In addition, in May 2023, he was appointed "acting head" of the said occupation agency, which he still heads. In this position, the "official" contributes to the implementation of the policy of the aggressor state and ensures the activities of its occupation executive bodies in the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea.

The special pre-trial investigation was carried out by investigators of the SBU Main Directorate in the AR of Crimea.

Earlier it was reported that three traitor judges from Crimea were sentenced to 12 years in prison. Prosecutors proved in court that after the occupation of the peninsula, the convicts betrayed their oath of allegiance to the people of Ukraine by taking up positions as "judges" in the occupation Leninsky and Simferopol district courts, as well as the Yevpatoria city court of the Republic of Crimea.

It was also said that the director of the Krympatriot Center would be tried for promoting service in the Russian army among children.
