The OGP does not name the person, but judging by the description of the case, it is clear that it refers to Ivan Rudyi.

According to the investigation, the ex-official is in custody in the state institution "Kyiv pre-trial detention center." He was taken into custody by court order within the framework of another criminal proceeding, in which he is suspected of facilitating the activities of a Russian online casino in Ukraine, illegal storage of narcotic drugs and weapons.

The notice of suspicion of committing these crimes was handed to him by SBI investigators under the procedural guidance of the Office of the Prosecutor General.

SISO employees noticed that the suspect had a mobile phone in his cell and came with a search. Not wanting to give up the phone, he first snatched the law enforcement officer's video recorder, and then began to strike the face of the SISO employee with his hands and head.

His actions were stopped by the detention center staff and another inmate. As a result of the attack, the major of the internal service of the State Institution "Kyiv Pre-trial Detention Center" received minor bodily injuries.
