The SSU has collected irrefutable evidence that the head of Poltava District Court collaborated with the enemy.

The official was recruited by the FSB and passed information to occupiers on defenders deployed in Ukraine’s south.

The woman also recommended to her russian supervisor ‘candidates’ for positions of Berdiansk mayor and the head of one of the captured local hospitals.

The SSU exposed the traitor in April 2023.

Based on the SSU’s investigation, the Supreme Council of Justice removed the official from her position.

The court chose custody without bail as a measure of restraint for the suspect.

The SSU informed earlier that the woman had approached the russian special service on her own initiative at the beginning of russia’s full-scale invasion.

At that time, she was in Berdiansk and worked as a judge in a district court.

The investigation established that in late March 2022 the judge had passed to the occupiers information on movement of three servicemen of the Azov special forces unit from Mariupol to Mangush area.

The traitor also called other court employees to support russian invaders and cooperate with them.

Based on the collected evidence, SSU investigators served her a notice of suspicion under Article 111.2 of the CCU (high treason committed under martial law).

The investigation is underway.

The SSU Office in Zaporizhzhia region is investigating the offence under the procedural supervision of the regional Prosecutor’s Office.
