⚡️General Duka threatened NABU investigators with a pistol during the search, smashed phones and hard drives with a hammer
Head of the NABU detectives unit Oleksandr Abakumov said on the UP.Chat broadcast that the first deputy head of the Department for the Protection of National Statehood of the SBU, General Serhiy Duka, threatened NABU investigators with a pistol and smashed phones and hard drives with a hammer.
According to him, when a NABU special operative tried to climb over the fence to open the gate, unknown persons aimed a weapon with a laser sight at him and threatened to open fire to kill.
In the windows of the house stood two SBU fighters armed with assault rifles, and the general himself came to a second-floor window with a pistol in his hands.
“I again announced over the loudspeaker: ‘This is NABU, we are law enforcement. We do not pose a danger to the lives and health of the people inside. Here is my ID, here is the warrant. Do not create a dangerous situation by aiming weapons at officers of other law enforcement agencies’”
, Abakumov said.
But the people did not engage. Instead, the SBU general ran out onto the balcony and began smashing phones with a hammer — he completely destroyed two phones and also destroyed one hard drive, Abakumov added.
According to NABU’s assessment, the security officers were studying the detectives’ positions in order to repel and evacuate the general.
Shooting between the two special services was avoided thanks to prolonged negotiations and the arrival of Duka’s lawyers, after which the official was detained.
Abakumov also added on UP.Chat that during the operation detectives recorded the transfer to the SBU general of four crypto wallets totaling about three million dollars.
For this bribe, Duka allegedly undertook to lift the seizure from the funds of the drug syndicate “Khimprom” through the Office of the Prosecutor General.
