A network of collaborators of the "people's police" who abducted and tortured people has been exposed in the Kherson region
Kyiv • UNN
A criminal group of 16 collaborators who tortured people in basements has been exposed in Skadovsk. The perpetrators abducted Ukrainians to extract confessions.
16 members of a criminal organization operating in occupied Skadovsk under the guise of an illegally created Russian "law enforcement agency" have been exposed. This was reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General, writes UNN.
Under the procedural guidance of the Office of the Prosecutor General, they were notified of suspicion of creating and participating in a criminal organization, collaboration activities, kidnapping and torturing people (Articles 255, 111-1, 146, 127 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine)
According to the investigation, after the occupation of part of the Kherson region, a pseudo-law enforcement agency was created - the "Skadovsk District Police Department" within the structure of the so-called "Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation". At the same time, a separate criminal organization operated within it, using this "institution" as a cover.
It was headed by a citizen of Ukraine, who involved local residents with pro-Russian views, as well as former and current law enforcement officers. The participants were given pseudo-positions and "ranks" to imitate legitimate activities.
In fact, this unit was engaged in persecuting local residents: identifying pro-Ukrainian citizens, kidnapping them from their homes and streets, and detaining Ukrainian law enforcement officers.
People were beaten, intimidated, and tortured during so-called "investigative actions," trying to extract the necessary testimony or break their stance. The victims were held in the basements of the captured police station without contact with the outside world and any legal assistance.
As noted by the SBU based on the case materials, the defendants are local collaborators who, after the capture of the community, supported the Rashists and joined the ranks of the Russian occupation administration.
