The SBI notified pseudo-heads of the occupation administration of Mangush and three other traitors of suspicion of defecting to the enemy and becoming authorities heads of so-called "dpr" and "lpr"

The SBI employees notified four law enforcers of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions of suspicion for defecting to the side of the aggressor.

On May 2022, the representatives of the aggressor country offered the law enforcers, who remained in the occupied territory, to take over the position of "head of the administration of the village Mangush DPR".
The traitor willingly took up the position and initiated numerous activities: he started organizing so-called briefings and meetings with the residents of Mangush, enterprises, organizations, the occupying media, etc.

The SBI suspects him of voluntarily occupying a position associated with the execution of organizational or administrative-public functions in unlawful authorities established on the temporarily occupied territory (Part 5 of Article 111-1 of the CC of Ukraine).
The pseudo-performer of the duties of the head of the Mangush administration faces up to 10 years of imprisonment.

In addition, three former law enforcers from Donetsk and Luhansk regions were suspected. Having quit their jobs in 2020, they moved to temporarily uncontrolled territories. After the beginning of the russian aggression, they were appointed as the head of the "state service of the ministry of justice" and deputy minister of justice of the so-called donetsk people's republic. An ex-law enforcement officer from Luhansk took over the position of the deputy prosecutor general of the pseudo-republika "lpr".

The SBI also notified them of suspicion of committing criminal offenses under Part 1 of Article 109 (actions aimed at forceful change or overthrow of the constitutional system or take-over of government), Part 2 of Article 110 (trespass against territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

The sanction of the article provides for up to 10 years' imprisonment.
