Court in absentia sentences a traitor from Lyman, who headed the occupiers' emergency service in the city, to 15 years in prison
Based on SBI materials, the court sentenced in absentia to 15 years in prison a former law enforcement officer who betrayed Ukraine and took a management position from the occupiers in Lyman, Donetsk region.
After the capture of Lyman, the former law enforcement officer began to actively cooperate with the invaders, and when the so-called " deputy minister of the ministry of emergency situations of the donetsk people's republic" arrived in the city, the defendant personally asked when he could go on "duty".
In return for his loyalty, he was promoted to the position of "head of the supervisory activity group" of the so-called "fire and rescue unit" in Lyman.
After the city was liberated, the traitor fled with the occupiers and is now hiding in Donetsk.

The defendant was sentenced to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property.

Procedural supervision was provided by the Donetsk Regional Prosecutor's Office.
