We are talking about the case at the end of December 2024, when, according to the GBR, a group of prisoners, led by the so -called “looking” brought one of the men into the courtyard, brutally beat him, which ultimately led to his death. The victim was taken to the hospital only the next day, and on December 28 he died.
The employees of the pre -trial detention center probably knew about the beating, but tried to hide it. Law enforcement officers claim that they probably forged documents and decided to isolate the victim without proper medical care.
The office of the Prosecutor General clarified that among the detainees – eight employees of the institution (inspectors, duty officers, medical workers and senior in corps) and five prisoners (with the already mentioned “watching”).
“During the investigation, law enforcement officers found in an institution where there are about 2.7 thousand people, a stable hierarchical structure of criminal influence. It was headed by the so -called” watching “. He attracted part of the pre -trial detention centers and doctors who actually acted under the control of the criticism,” the GBR reported.

Investigators also suspect that representatives of the pre -trial detention center could organize drug trafficking, systematic extortion of money from prisoners, conduct gambling and applying physical violence, including deaths.
The employees of the pre -trial detention center were charged with excess of official powers, official negligence, abandonment in danger, non -ordering, official forgery and forgery of the official document (part 3 of article 365, part 3 of article 367, part 3 of article 135, part 2 of article 139, part 1 of article 366, part 1 of article 358 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The detainees were suspected of causing grievous bodily injuries that resulted in death (part 2 of article 121 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The GBR noted that in November 2024, together with the leadership of the Ministry of Justice, the state criminal service and the head of the pre-trial detention center, it initiated personnel changes, “which actually stopped the activities of the criminal network.” At the same time, individual employees of the insulator remained under the influence of criminals, law enforcement officers emphasized.
