“You’ll serve as long as Magamedrasulov did”: Duka’s lawyer says about threats and possible NABU revenge
The lawyer of SBU General Serhiy Duka, Yuriy Sukhov, said on the Butusov Plus broadcast that there may be score-settling against his client. According to the defense attorney, Duka was unofficially made to understand that he will spend at least as much time behind bars as NABU representative Magamedrasulov did last year.
“They plainly told him: ‘You will sit for at least as long as Magamedrasulov sat,’” Sukhov said. The lawyer clarified that the conversation was unofficial, but the general informed the judge about it.
And this is not the only circumstance that raises questions for the defense. Sukhov claims that the preventive measure motion against Duka was prepared by a NABU detective whose subordinate to the general was searched last year.
The lawyer sees a direct conflict of interest in this and says the defense has already sought the detective’s recusal. In his view, such circumstances provide grounds to speak of possible personal revenge disguised as criminal prosecution.
