Based on the evidence collected by the SSU, another collaborator, who worked for the aggressor during the occupation of part of Kharkiv oblast, has been convicted to prison.

The perpetrator is a local resident who, after the capture of Izium, voluntarily joined the occupation ‘branch of the russian ministry of internal affairs’.

There, he was first appointed a ‘district police officer’ and later an ‘inspector of the road patrol service’ of russia’s fake institution.

The collaborator was issued a russian uniform, weapons and an ID,  with which he moved freely in the then-occupied Izium.

While in this ‘position’, the traitor helped the invaders fabricate ‘cases’ against members of the resistance movement.

To do this, he passed the addresses of Ukrainian patriots who remained in the city and resisted the kremlin regime to the occupiers.

He also drove around the community and monitored compliance with the ‘ban’ issued by the occupation administration to hold mass gatherings.

During such ‘raids’, the ruscists abducted participants of pro-Ukrainian actions and imprisoned them in the russian torture chambers.

After Izium’s liberation, the collaborator tried to hide and evade prosecution.

However, the SSU identified, found and detained him during stabilization measures.

During the searches of the suspect’s home, the SSU seized his ‘occupation ID’ and other evidence.

Given his cooperation with the investigation, the court found the accused guilty under Article 111-1.7 of the CCU (collaboration) and sentenced to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.

The investigation was carried out by the SSU Kharkiv Office jointly with the National Police under the procedural supervision of the regional Prosecutor’s Office.
