Employees of the State Bureau of Investigation, together with the SBU, completed the investigation into six law enforcement officers of Sumy region, who fabricated criminal cases to improve the statistics of crime detection.
According to the investigation, police searched for socially vulnerable persons and offered them money to take the blame for crimes that were not committed.
- "Criminals" for money: the detainees invented the crime scenarios, the false persons "confess", and the cases were immediately "revealed".
- Falsification of evidence: law enforcement officers staged crimes, conducted fictitious investigative experiments and factory evidence.
- Fictitious witnesses and victims: some people received the role of "victims" or "eyewitnesses" that confirmed the version of the investigation.
In total, the investigation has documented four falsified cases.
One of the episodes is a staging of human beating. The police created the staging scene, after which they "promptly detained" the false person, who was made by fabricated charges.
Otherwise, the case of the abduction of bank cards was completely invented: a person who had nothing to do with the crime was forced to take guilt.
All six defendants were fired. They are charged under Part 2 of Art. 372 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (unlawful attraction of deliberately innocent, combined with falsification of evidence), as well as in attempted a similar crime.
The sanction of the article provides for up to 10 years in prison.
