In NABU’s suspicion, there are no charges against General Duka for drug trafficking, torture, or bribery. That was just a pretty movie, — General’s lawyer Yuriy Sukhov
The only article under which Duka is suspected is participation in a criminal organization through the use of his official position.
However, the lawyer raises a fundamental question: what specifically did Duka’s criminal activity consist of?
Sukhov emphasizes that the case materials contain no proper evidence that Duka joined a criminal organization, knew its goals, or performed the criminal role assigned to him.
The lawyer considers certain episodes of the suspicion to be contradictory:
▪️ Cryptocurrency worth $2,4 million. The prosecution claims that Duka assisted in returning seized funds. However, according to the lawyer, the seizure was not lifted, and the cryptocurrency was not returned to anyone.
▪️ Corruption crimes and bribes. The suspicion contains not a single specific fact of a bribe being given or received involving Duka.
Sukhov also notes that acquaintance with the case’s figures, phone calls, and correspondence by themselves do not prove a person’s participation in a criminal organization.
The lawyer points out that NABU’s loud Hollywood-style film shapes public impression of proven guilt even before trial. The consequences of this are a multimillion bail and a destroyed reputation.
