The SBI detained and delivered to Kyiv the commander of the 211th brigade, who covered the mockery of the militaries
The employees of the SBI have detained and served notification of suspicion to the commander of the 211th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who did not respond to the facts of abuse and torture of the soldiers entrusted to him.
It was established, that at least from February to July 2024, the commander of the brigade knew about numerous facts of torture and other inhuman treatment of soldiers by the officer, who was subordinate to him, but did not react to these actions and did not initiate the issue of bringing the guilty officer to justice.
According to available information, the senior lieutenant, who beat and tortured subordinate soldiers is the son of the Chief of Staff of the Specified Military Unit and is a close friend of the commander of the brigade.
The commander of the brigade was served notification of the suspicion of inaction of the military authorities committed under martial law or in a combat situation (under Part 4 of Article 426 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The sanction of the Article provides for imprisonment for a term of seven to ten years.
The searches were conducted at the place of living of the brigade commander. He was taken to Kyiv to choose a preventive measure.
The corresponding appeal to the court is scheduled for Monday, December 30.
The procedural guidance is provided by the Office of the Prosecutor General.
It should be reminded, that earlier the SBI served notification of suspicion to the commander of one of the platoons of the pontoon-bridge battalion of the 211th Pontoon-Bridge Brigade, who mocked the soldiers.
