🔈 Former deputy head of the State Emergency Service and owner of the supplier "Pozhmashyna" Oleg Aver'yanov, together with the head of the Chernihiv regional branch of the All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland" party, Dmytro Nikitin, are suspected by the SBU of attempting to organize a series of terrorist acts, arsons, and assaults in various regions of Ukraine, including against a civil activist.
🕵️♂️ For 5 thousand US dollars, over a dispute with a developer the criminal group planned to blow up a construction crane near a residential complex in Chernihiv. After the explosion, the crane was supposed to fall onto a nearby apartment building and civilian cars, causing numerous casualties. The suspects allegedly sought perpetrators using personal connections in the criminal milieu. Law enforcement managed to "integrate" controlled individuals into the criminal group's ranks and stage the explosion. Afterwards, they gave the client a video as proof of the supposedly completed task. The investigation, which began with criminal "settling of scores," gradually led investigators to people who, according to the case, may have used criminal figures to resolve business conflicts and settle personal vendettas.
The suspects were then offered to organize terrorist attacks in district administrative centers and shopping centers. In particular, attacks on 20-30 centers were discussed, with possible human casualties. According to the investigation, they offered 20 thousand dollars for the bombing of a small district administrative center, and 50 thousand dollars for a larger facility.
One of the designated targets was the district administrative center in Kolomyia. The perpetrators of the attack made an improvised explosive device and were supposed to throw it into a window of the administrative building. However, using a staged explosion, SBU officers prevented the detonation. Again, materials confirming the supposedly completed task were handed over to the clients. For this "job" 13 thousand dollars were received.
Law enforcement found information that may indicate a Russian trace in the preparation of such attacks.
At the same time, according to the investigation, Aver'yanov turned to criminal contacts to take revenge over his conviction to 7 years in prison for stealing a car from his wife. For about 200 thousand dollars he ordered the bombing of the private homes of the chair and two other judges of the Chernihiv Court of Appeal. In particular, the possibility of using drones for the attacks was discussed. He ordered an attempt on a local activist — a blogger from Chernihiv region — who was to have his limbs shot. They also planned to pour sulfuric acid on him.
The organizers were notified of suspicion under the following articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:
✔️part. 2 art. 15, part 2 art. 258 (completed attempt to commit a terrorist act);
✔️part. 2 art. 15, part 2 art. 121 (completed attempt to commit intentional grievous bodily harm);
✔️part. 1 art. 14, part 2 art. 378 (preparation for intentional destruction or damage of a judge's property committed by arson or explosion);
✔️part. 5 art. 191 (appropriation, embezzlement of property or seizure of it through abuse of official position in especially large amounts).
In absentia, the "sponsor" of the group — the head of the Chernihiv branch of the political force and his associate, who are abroad — were also notified of suspicion.
