The investigation found that the man performed administrative and economic duties, supervised capital construction, repair and operation of medical institutions that were subordinated to the occupation authorities. For this, he received a salary in Russian rubles.

At the trial, witnesses confirmed that the accused headed a department in the structure of occupation medicine, managed the organization of work, gave orders for the preparation of boiler rooms and other economic issues, and had a positive attitude towards the occupation authorities.
