Flooding of the Kyiv subway: the court sent another suspect to house arrest

Today, on July 25, the Podilskyi District Court of Kyiv imposed a pre-trial restraint on Volodymyr Sydorenko, the head of the Kyiv Metro's track, tunnel and building service .  He will be held under round-the-clock house arrest. This was reported by UNN with reference to Suspilne.

Details

The judge granted the prosecutor's motion. The official will be under  round-the-clock house arrest until September 23.

He is obliged to appear before the investigating prosecutor, not to leave Kyiv without notifying the investigator.

Viktor Vygivskyi, an official and acting head of the subway  , is suspected of negligence, which led to the flooding of the subway and the subsequent closure of a part of the "blue" line.

Earlier it was reported that the court had imposed a preventive measure on the chief engineer, acting head of the Kyiv Metro, due to the flooding of subway stations in the capital.

Recall

On July 23, the prosecutor's office reportedthat in the case of flooding of the tunnels between Demiivska and Lybidska stations in the Kyiv metro, subway officials were notified of suspicion of official negligence.

The KCSA responded to the suspicions of metro officials over the tunnel flooding, in a statement claiming that "the tunnel structure of this section was poorly constructed during construction" and "the main allegations are allegedly improper maintenance and operation of the tunnel".

On July 24, the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office  statedthat a number of examinations were conducted in the case of the flooding of the Kyiv metro tunnels, and one of them showed that the cause of the tunnel's destruction was improper operation, not poor construction.
