Suspects in the Shyrshin case previously worked in the police: one of them worked in the same precinct as a police officer who found drugs
In the case of alleged drug planting on serviceman Ivan Shyshyn, links were found between detainees from the 225-th Separate Assault Brigade and police officers who conducted a search of his car. At the same time, the hearing on selecting a preventive measure for the suspects was held in closed mode.
This was reported by journalists Anna Kalyuzhna and Olga Khudetska.
According to the information released by them, all three detained servicemen of the 225-th OSBP — Telman Aliyev, Vladyslav Harmash, and Maksym Lymar — worked in the National Police several months ago.
Lymar left the police in June, and Harmash in May. At the same time, Harmash previously worked as an operative in the same police department where Mark Alykhonov served in criminal investigation last year.
Alykhonov himself was the first to conduct the search of Shyshyn’s car and found drugs in it.
As Anna Kalyuzhna notes, Alykhonov knew which parts of the car needed to be opened. According to the investigation, it is precisely there that Harmash and accomplices could have placed the prohibited substances the day before.
Meanwhile, a patrol officer from the crew that stopped Shyshin’s car stated during investigative actions that he did not know Alykhonov. According to him, he is an operative of another precinct.
Kalyuzhna also drew attention to Alykhonov’s behavior after information about the alleged drug planting began to appear online. According to her, he left the scene with several unknown people and subsequently did not participate in the work of the investigative-operational group.
Separately, attention was drawn to the court hearing on the preventive measure for the suspects. The prosecution asked for the case to be heard openly, but Judge Khainatsky of the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv conducted the session in closed mode at the defense’s request.
Defense lawyers stated that media attention constitutes pressure on the court. They also claimed that the commanders of the 225-th OSBP planned to take the servicemen on parole.
According to the defense, the judge did not allow this.
