Ex-employee of the penitentiary service who worked for the enemy during the occupation of Kherson is served a notice of suspicion
This was reported by the press service of the Kherson Regional Prosecutor's Office.
The post states that under the procedural guidance of the Kherson Regional Prosecutor's Office, a former employee of a penal colony was served a notice of suspicion of high treason and voluntarily holding a position in an illegal law enforcement agency (Part 2 of Article 111, Part 7 of Article 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). He was also chosen a measure of restraint in the form of detention.
According to the investigation, in May 2022, during the occupation of Kherson, the suspect collaborated with the enemy. He was employed at the illegally created Northern Correctional Colony No. 90, where he took the position of "junior inspector of the supervision group". In his pseudo-position, the suspect carried out criminal orders and instructions from representatives of the aggressor country, contributing to the establishment of occupation law enforcement agencies, for which he received a salary in rubles. He also provided security for convicts who were involved by the occupiers in the construction of fortifications and defenses in Kherson and the region.
It is noted that after the de-occupation of Kherson, the defendant tried to avoid justice by moving from the regional center to another district of the region. Law enforcement officers established his whereabouts and detained him.
Earlier it was reported that the Security Service of Ukraine and the National Police collected evidence against 11 more Russian war criminals involved in mass repressions and killings of civilians after the capture of Kherson. This time, the crimes of Russian Police Major General Yuriy Zavyalov, Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in Krasnoyarsk Krai, and his subordinates were documented.
