The SSU has intensified fight against international organized crime: two russian criminals were detained in Kyiv.

One of them is a russian citizen, who was on the sanctions of list of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine as a crime lord involved in serious crimes and who was banned from entering our country.

The other one is a russian recidivist, convicted to prison terms on several occasions, including for murder. He was also on Ukraine’s territory illegally.

The SSU responded promptly, identified a potential threat and detained both criminals.

To prevent crime, the two outlaws were expelled from Ukraine.
