On July 22, a court in Kyiv chose a preventive measure of 60 days of detention for Ruslan Maghamedrasulov, an official of the National Bureau of Investigation, who is suspected of having ties with the aggressor country Russia.

Points of attention

  • The defense plans to appeal the court's decision of detention, as the suspect has not publicly commented on the SBU's accusations.
  • A series of searches and inspections by SBU, State Bureau of Investigation, and Prosecutor General's Office targeted employees of NABU and related entities.

What is known about the court decision?

As journalists from the courtroom report, the prosecutor and defense filed motions to close the proceedings, which the judge granted.

A little later, it was announced that the court had chosen a preventive measure for Magamedrasulov in the form of detention for 60 days.

According to the NABU employee, he expected this to happen.

His lawyer, Tetyana Okhrimchuk, officially confirmed that the defense will appeal this decision.

What is important to understand is that Ruslan Maghamedrasulov is the head of one of the interregional detective departments of the NABU, which in Dnipro coordinates the activities of the Bureau in the front-line Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhia regions.

The Security Service of Ukraine stated that the official “has contacts with representatives of the aggressor country and helps his businessman father conduct illegal trade with the Russian Federation.”

As previously mentioned, on July 21, about 70 searches were conducted by the SBU, the State Bureau of Investigation, and the Prosecutor General's Office on employees of the bureaus. The inspection also took place at the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office.
