Recall
As previously reported, SBU, SBI, and OGP employees conducted over 70 searches of NABU employees.
In particular, Ruslan Magamedrasulov, head of the NABU territorial department of detectives, was detained on suspicion of aiding the Russian Federation. He is accused of mediating the sale of technical hemp grown by his father to Dagestan.
Also, during the investigation, law enforcement officers established that the high-ranking official of the Bureau had close contact with People's Deputy from the banned OPZZh party Fedir Khrystenko, who fled the country and cooperates with the Russian special services and influences NABU's activities. He was charged with treason.
Later, it was reported about the detention of an employee of the NABU Central Office, who spied for the FSB and works in the most elite closed unit "D-2".
According to the investigation, the curator of the NABU employee was Dmytro Ivantsov – deputy head of V. Yanukovych's security, who in February 2014 helped the fugitive president move to Russia, and he himself remained in annexed Crimea, where he was recruited by the FSB. The specified employee collected and transmitted to the enemy's special services identifying data of Ukrainian law enforcement officers and other citizens.
Today, the Shevchenkivskyi court of Kyiv chose a preventive measure for Viktor Husarov. He was sent into custody without the possibility of bail.
