The head of the Snigurivka prison was punished for working for the Russians

The former head of a division at the Snigurivka Correctional Colony voluntarily began working for the Russians during the occupation of the city. For his service in the occupying regime, the man was sentenced to 15 years in prison with confiscation of his property.

This was reported by the Mykolaiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office.

According to the investigation, prior to the full-scale invasion, the man worked as the head of the social and psychological services department at the Snigurivka Correctional Colony No. 5.

During the capture of Snigurivka, he agreed to cooperate with the occupying authorities and took a position as an inspector in the Department of Utilities and Living Conditions at Kherson Pretrial Detention Center No. 1. This facility operated under the control of the Russian occupation administration.

In his new position, the man carried out the orders and directives of the occupation authorities’ leaders. He received a salary in Russian rubles for his work.

After the territory was liberated, law enforcement officials uncovered his collaboration with the enemy. The court found the man guilty of collaboration under Part 7 of Article 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

He was sentenced to 15 years in prison with the confiscation of all his property. Additionally, for 15 years, he will be barred from holding positions in state authorities, local self-government bodies, and law enforcement agencies, or from working in the public service sector.

In addition, the convicted man was stripped of his special rank of senior lieutenant of the internal service.
