In Kherson region, a court in absentia sentenced a local resident to 13 years in prison for collaborating with the occupation authorities.
According to the Kherson Regional Prosecutor's Office, the woman was found guilty of collaboration. In addition to imprisonment, she was sentenced to confiscation of property and a 15-year ban on holding positions in government, law enforcement agencies, and engaging in activities related to the provision of public services.
The investigation proved that in July 2022, she voluntarily joined the illegally created occupation body, the so-called "migration service" in Kherson, controlled by the Russian Federation.
As a "specialist of the passport and visa department," the woman prepared documents for issuing Russian passports, identified persons and translated Ukrainian documents for further obtaining Russian citizenship.
The investigation was conducted by the SBU.
The sentence was passed in absentia. The actual serving of the sentence will begin after the convict's detention.
As Intent previously wrote, five members of an organized group accused of "nationalizing" property in favor of the occupation authorities for more than UAH 100 million will be tried in Kherson region.
