The collaborator planned to escape outside Ukraine. The SBU press center reported this today, March 27.
During the liberation of the regional center, he burned the hostile “prison warden’s ID” and moved to a rented apartment to “cover his tracks,” the intelligence service notes. “Thus, he planned to hide until January 2025, when he turns 60, and then go abroad as a migrant from the south of Ukraine.
SBU officers found and detained the collaborator in a temporary home.
During a search of his house, the following was found:
- mobile phone red-handed;
- Russian-style uniform, which the occupiers gave him.
According to the investigation:
- at the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, the man worked as an electrical engineer at a local enterprise;
- After the capture of Kherson by the Nazis, he voluntarily entered the “administration” of the Russian prison, which operated in the local penal colony that was captured at that time. There he was appointed “junior inspector of the surveillance and security department” of the occupation institution;
- In this position, the collaborator guarded the cells in which prisoners of the resistance movement in the region were kept. In the dungeons, the Russians tortured Ukrainian patriots and tried to “knock” out of them consent to cooperate with the aggressor.
Currently, the attacker has been notified of suspicion under Part 7 of Art. 111-1 of the Criminal Code (collaboration activities, voluntary occupation by a citizen of Ukraine of a position in illegal law enforcement agencies created in temporarily occupied territory). He is in custody and faces up to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property.
