The State Bureau of Investigation continues systematic work on exposing traitors who decided to defect to the enemy. Each such fact is thoroughly worked out, all collaborators will be brought to criminal responsibility.

Thus, over a week, the SBI employees served a notice of suspicion of high treason to 5 former law enforcement officers from Luhansk region, and a special pre-trial investigation was completed in relation to two female officers.

All the defendants defected to the enemy after the start of russian aggression in Ukraine. They supported the occupation authorities in the settlements captured by russian troops and took positions in the illegal law enforcement agencies of the so-called luhansk people's republic. One of the former law enforcers was appointed to a position in the "prosecutor's office of the stanytsia luhanska district of the luhansk people's republic".

The 5 law enforcement officers were served a notice of suspicion of high treason (Part 2 Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The suspects could face life imprisonment.

In addition, the State Bureau of Investigation completed a special investigation into high treason (Part 2 of Art. 111 of the Criminal Code) and collaboration (Part 7 of Art. 111-1 of the Criminal Code) against the former court employees.

It should be reminded that after the capture of Starobilsk district of Luhansk region by russian troops, the secretary of the court session and the assistant judge worked on the formation of the occupation authorities.

The women assisted in the organization of the work of the so-called "prosecutor's office of the Belovodsk district of the luhansk people's republic", in which they took the positions of prosecutors.

Procedural guidance is provided by the Luhansk Regional Prosecutor's Office and the General Inspectorate of the Prosecutor General's Office.

The SBI continues to identify other persons in the temporarily occupied territory who cooperate with the aggressor state.
