This is already the fourth exposed participant in the case.
Law enforcement detained another figure in the case of planting drugs on the former commander of the 47 Separate Mechanized Brigade “Magura.” This was reported by the DBR and the OGP.
In their statements, law enforcement did not name the person, but from the case description it follows that this concerns the case of ex-battalion commander Oleksandr Shirshyn.
As the investigation established, the man known in criminal circles as the so-called “medvezhatnyk” opened Shirshyn’s car. This allowed three other suspected servicemen to hide drugs and psychotropic substances in the interior of his vehicle.
“This was part of a premeditated attempt to discredit the ex-battalion commander and bring him to criminal responsibility with artificially created ‘evidence.’ The scheme participants not only planted the prohibited substances, but also reported them to law enforcement themselves, after which they relayed the serviceman’s route to them,” the statement said.
The suspect was charged with aiding illegal entry into another person’s property, committed by prior conspiracy of a group of persons (part 5 of article 27, part 2 of article 28, part 1 of article 162 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
Recall that on 28 August the former battalion commander of the 47 brigade Oleksandr Shirshyn reported that he had been stopped by police in Kharkiv. During a vehicle check they found a packet with a narcotic substance and scales. Shirshyn stated that the substance was planted on him. He links the incident to his criticism of assault regiments. He considers the commander of the 225 Separate Assault Regiment, Oleh Shyriaiev, with whom he has a longstanding conflict, to be involved in what happened.
This is already the fourth exposed participant in the case. Earlier, law enforcement reported uncovering three fighters of the 225 Separate Assault Regiment who planted drugs on Shirshyn. According to the investigation, on the night of 28 August they broke into his car in Kharkiv and planted about 30 packets of cannabis and PVP. Two suspects were placed in custody with the option to be released on bail of 12,6 million UAH each. The third serviceman, T. Aliyev, has a higher bail — 14,9 million.
