People's deputy Oleksandr Dubinsky was served a notice of suspicion of high treason and participation in a criminal organization. This was reported by the press service of the State Bureau of Investigation.
SBI officers, together with the SBU, uncovered a criminal organization that included current and former MPs, an assistant to one of them, and a former prosecutor.
These are Oleksandr Dubinsky (nicknamed "Pinocchio"), Andrii Derkach, his former assistant Ihor Kolesnikov (nicknamed "Veteran", who, according to the SBU, has already been convicted and is serving a sentence for high treason) and Kostiantyn Kulyk (nicknamed "Birdie").
It has been established that, on the instructions of Russian special services, they organized events to discredit Ukraine's image in the international arena in order to deteriorate diplomatic relations with the United States and complicate Ukraine's accession to the European Union and NATO, the SBI emphasizes.
Currently, SBI investigators have charged a current MP (Dubinsky) and a former prosecutor (Kulyk) with treason (part 1 of Article 111 and part 1 of Article 255 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
Former MP Derkach was previously charged with high treason by NABU on similar charges. Now he and his assistant (Kolesnikov) have been additionally charged with participation in a criminal organization.
The Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces (Alekseev) and his assistant (Savin) were charged with creating a criminal organization and incitement to treason.
According to the investigation, Derkach and Dubinsky organized various media events, spreading fake news about the Ukrainian government and its Western partners.
The investigation revealed that this was a well-planned special operation by Russian special services to discredit Ukrainian-American relations and slow down Ukraine's integration into the EU and NATO.
The former prosecutor also took part in such actions. He publicly "substantiated" their fakes from the point of view of law, the SBI notes.
It has been established that the criminal organization was created by Vladimir Alekseev, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, as an agent network operating in the capital of Ukraine.
His deputy, Oleksiy Savin, was in charge of the operational management of the enemy group from the territory of Russia.
The project was funded by Russian special services, and money was transferred to Ukraine through the former MP's assistant. According to preliminary estimates, Russian special services spent at least $10 million on this organization. However, the MPs themselves also repeatedly visited Russia to meet with their handlers.
Law enforcement officers have audio recordings of conversations between an officer of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces and an agent recruited by Russian special services. They discuss the details of the operation and mention a participant in the scheme under the operational pseudonym "Pinocchio". According to the investigation, Dubinsky is hiding under it.
