In the de-occupied areas of Kherson region, the SSU and the National Police detained a local member of the banned party opposition platform - for life.

The man voluntarily cooperated with the invaders and took a leadership position in the occupation ‘directorate of ministry of internal affairs in Kherson region’.

There, he worked in the unit for ‘combating economic crimes’, which actually was terrorizing local entrepreneurs and forcing them to pay taxes to the russian budget.

The pre-trial investigation is ongoing; SSU investigators are collecting evidence to bring the suspect to justice.

The SSU Office in Kherson region and the SSU Main Investigative Directorate exposed the collaborator jointly with the Internal Security Department of the National Police under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor General’s Office.
