"The Security Service has gathered evidence against another person involved in the case of MP Nestor Shufrych, who is suspected of financing the Russian Guard in the temporarily occupied Crimea," the SBU reported on social media.
According to the case file, the offender was responsible for the legal aspects of the deal. "In particular, he was engaged in concluding an agreement with the Russian Guard structures for the protection of elite real estate in Crimea controlled by the MP," the special service noted.
"Thus, in just 3 months, more than half a million Russian rubles were transferred to the accounts of the occupiers. The purpose of the payments was to provide "paramilitary security services" to the MP's facilities on the peninsula," the SBU said.
The special service noted that in early February 2024, MP Shufrych had already received a corresponding suspicion.
As a result of the operation, SBU investigators and operatives detained Shufrych's business partner and served him a notice of suspicion under Part 3 of Art. 110-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (financing actions committed with the aim of violent change or overthrow of the constitutional order or seizure of state power, changing the boundaries of the territory or state border of Ukraine)
The investigation is ongoing to establish all the circumstances of the crime. The offender faces up to 8 years in prison with confiscation of property.
