Nikolai Tishchenko told in court his version of events in the Dnieper during the illegal detention of a local resident, ex-military Pavlov.

On June 25, Tishchenko was chosen as a preventive measure; in the morning, searches were carried out at his place.
When the procedural actions were going on, three young guys walked towards me. One with a stroller. And they defiantly began to offend me: “hey, listen, what are you, head,” swearing. “I reacted and made comments to them,” the people’s deputy said.
Tishchenko also spoke about “bullying” and “abuse” of his assistant. After that, he said, he asked the policeman to “stop the attack on the MP.”
Leave me the money. I have nothing to live for, so Tishchenko in court demanded that the investigators give him the funds seized from the safe and found during the search.
Last week, a video from Dnieper spread on social networks: in it, people in balaclavas used force against a man who was walking with a baby stroller and made a remark to a deputy accompanying him.
Subsequently, they found out that it was the security of the people’s deputy-majoritarian, expelled from the Servant of the People faction, Nikolai Tishchenko. He also appears in the video. And the man they handcuffed was Kraken veteran Dmitry Pavlov.
The people’s deputy today in court also answered the question about the broken mobile phone and could neither confirm nor deny the information about the fact that the communication device was broken.
But the prosecutor confirmed the fact that the people’s deputy broke the phone, saying that Tishchenko “brazenly destroyed the phone.” Moreover, he did this in the presence of witnesses and video recording of events by investigators.
He is not going to hide and cannot let voters down – the people’s deputy’s lawyers insist that there is no risk of simply releasing Tishchenko.
The prosecution is asking for a preventive measure for the people’s deputy in the form of round-the-clock house arrest.
