“Prove that we wrote about Shabunin”: head of the DBR in court disclaims news about suspicion
When the State Bureau of Investigation officially announced the handover of a suspicion to the head of the Center for Anti-Corruption, Vitaliy Shabunin, he filed a lawsuit against the DBR. And already in court, DBR Director Oleksii Sukhachov is trying to disown the official news about the suspicion.
Shabunin reported this.

“Even during my service, the DBR officially announced that it had handed me a suspicion, including for the illegal use of a volunteer car. Since that was a lie, I went to court against the DBR. Do you know what Sukhachov’s position in court is? Hold on: prove that we wrote about Shabunin!”, — Shabunin said.
He also published a response to the lawsuit, in which the DBR’s position is specified. In particular, the document states: “In the cited publication the DBR referred to notifications of suspicion ‘to one of the public activists,’ but it did not contain any personal data, nor the case number, nor specific information about his position, place of service, military unit, professional or public activity that would allow directly or indirectly to identify that this is about the plaintiff.”
