The Prosecutor General’s Office, in accordance with international treaties on the extradition of offenders, has contacted a number of relevant countries with a request to detain and temporarily arrest a people’s deputy suspected of attacking a military and law enforcement officer, with a view to his subsequent extradition to Ukraine.
In addition, in agreement with the OGP, a petition for the publication of a Red Alert regarding the said Ukrainian People’s Deputy has been submitted to the General Secretariat of Interpol.
Earlier, at the request of the Office of the Prosecutor General, the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv chose a preventive measure for the suspect, namely, detention, after which the procedure for his search was initiated, including international search.
The court granted the motion of prosecutor Vyacheslav Romanenko, who asked the court to choose detention for the suspect Dmitruk, since “no other preventive measure can prevent the risks.”
The risk of concealment, which Dmitruk is already doing in principle. The risk of influencing witnesses, as well as victims, since Dmitruk has such opportunities even while abroad, Romanenko noted in the courtroom.
At the same time, Dmitruk’s lawyer Vitaliy Zaperchenko stated that the people’s deputy is not evading the investigation, but “is forced to take measures to save his own life due to threats.”
The lawyer stated that Dmitruk could destroy evidence needed by the investigation and influence witnesses, but the prosecutors did not provide any evidence that Dmitruk had committed such actions for more than two years.
In addition, the defense stated that Dmitruk left the condom legally:
The constitutional rights of a people’s deputy cannot be limited during martial law or a state of emergency. Article 33 of the Constitution of Ukraine stipulates that everyone who is legally on the territory of Ukraine is guaranteed freedom of movement, free choice of place of residence, and the right to freely leave Ukraine. That is, guided by two articles, Dmitruk had the right to cross the state border, the lawyer argued his position.
Let us recall that on August 25, before receiving suspicion, Dmitruk fled Ukraine because of Moldova. For now, he most likely remains in Italy, where he arrived on the same day.
The State Bureau of Investigation has placed Dmitruk, a suspect in attacks on civilians, on the international wanted list.
