The official described this video as a "staging."
The honorary head of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine in the Kyiv region, Mykhailo Uvarov, has been accused of torturing people on camera.
This is reported by hromadske.ua.
Previously, a video appeared on his Instagram page showing a bleeding and half-naked man.
Volunteers Serhiy Sternenko and blogger Ihor Lachenkov drew attention to this video, accusing Uvarov of torturing people.
After the scandal, Uvarov called the video staged and stated that he is not an official representative of any public organization.
It should be noted that in April this year, the official Facebook page of the Kyiv region branch of the NOC of Ukraine posted a birthday greeting to Mykhailo Uvarov as the honorary head of this organization.
In 2019 year, Kharkiv law enforcement officers announced Mykhailo Uvarov to be wanted for committing a gravely serious crime — he was suspected of theft on a particularly large scale.
The media often mentions Uvarov by the nickname "Frenchman," who has serious connections in the criminal world.
Earlier it was reported that the scandalous Serhiy Bubka remained on the executive committee of the NOC of Ukraine.
