Details

It is reported that the preparatory hearing in the case of MP Tyshchenko and former Kraken special forces fighter Mazokha is continuing in the Babushkinsky District Court of Dnipro. It is supposed to review the preventive measure for the MP and collect evidence to get to the merits of the case.

"The MP joined the hearing via video, his lawyer asked for the judge's recusal. He noted that the judge had violated the rules and that he had warned him the previous time that Tyshchenko would not come to court," the statement said.

AddendumAddendum

The preparatory hearing began on December 20, 2024, but Tyshchenko did not appear, so the court ordered him to be brought forcibly to the continuation of the hearing on December 23. However, Tyshchenko did not show up again.

Prosecutor reportedthat Tishchenko did not appear in court because he was diagnosed with coronary heart disease.

Tyshchenko and former police officer Pysarenko are accused of unlawfully imprisoning Dmytro Mazokha, a war veteran and former member of the Kraken special forces.

Tyshchenko's case was transferred to the court in December 2024.
