On October 30, the Halytskyi District Court of Lviv found 34-year-old Dmytro Hrebenyuk guilty in absentia of treason, participation in a terrorist organization and illegal armed groups. The native of Tavriysk (Kherson region) was sentenced to 15 years in prison with confiscation of all property.
This became known from the relevant court verdict.
The court found that Dmytro Hrebenyuk, who until recently lived in Bakhmut, voluntarily mobilized no later than July 2022 to the so-called "people's militia of the DPR of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. There, he held the position of a radio operator.
Grebenyuk directly participated in hostilities against the Armed Forces of Ukraine, fighting in the temporarily occupied territories. In particular, his stay in the village of Salkove in Kherson region, in the villages of Urozhayne, Prymorske and other settlements of Zaporizhzhia region, as well as in Novoazovsk in Donetsk region was established.
According to the investigation, Grebenyuk, who has visited Russia many times since the start of the invasion in 2014, is in hiding, so the trial took place in his absence.
Earlier, the Kherson City Court found a former law enforcement officer from Kherson guilty of collaboration in absentia. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property.
According to the investigation, after the full-scale invasion , the man betrayed his oath and headed the 'expert forensic center' illegally created by the occupiers.
In his new position, the convict was actively recruiting "employees" using threats and bribery. Law enforcement officers found that the Ukrainian employees who remained in the city were brought to him for a "conversation" by Russian military and unidentified persons in balaclavas. People were intimidated, demanding to go over to the side of the occupiers. As a "bonus", he offered them high salaries, housing and "solving problems" with military registration.
