From the fall of 2022 to the beginning of 2024, he was "the head of the department of the federal penitentiary service of Russia for the lPR," the department said.
"He was in direct charge of the 'torture chambers' in the occupied Luhansk region, where Ukrainian citizens were illegally detained," the prosecutor's office said.
The suspect is currently wanted and the issue of choosing a measure of restraint is being decided.
