“The term of Magamedrasulov’s stay in the pretrial detention center is until December 15”, — write: www.radiosvoboda.org
The term of Magamedrasulov’s stay in the pretrial detention center is until December 15.
According to the correspondent of Radio Svoboda, even before the announcement of the court decision, Magamedrasulov said that he does not expect to change the preventive measure.
Defense witness Yusuf Mameshev spoke at the hearing. He claims that Ruslan Magamedrasulov had a conversation with him about the sale of technical hemp seeds. The witness assures that the conversation was about Uzbekistan, and not the Republic of Dagestan, as the SBU claims.
Earlier today, the court remanded the father of the head of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau in Dnipro, Ruslan Magamedrasulov, into custody. His preventive measure was also extended until December 15.

In July, the SBU reported that it was investigating Russia’s alleged influence on the work of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau. Ruslan Magamedrasulov, head of one of the bureau’s interregional offices, was named among those involved.
According to the Security Service, a high-ranking NABU official and his father were informed of suspicion under the article “assistance to an aggressor state”. They are in custody. The SBU said that they suspect one of the heads of the interregional departments of NABU detectives that during the full-scale war, he and his father were engaged in organizing illegal trade with the Russian Federation.

Meanwhile, the Anti-Corruption Center called the NABU official’s accusations of trading with an aggressor country “PR machinations of the SBU.”
In July, “Ukrainian Pravda” published an article about the searches in NABU and quoted an anonymous interlocutor in the anti-corruption authorities, who he assumed was the reason for conducting investigative actions against the detectives: “In general, we think that they simply worked as a preventive measure, because we learned that NABU was preparing a suspicion against Timur Mindich (co-owner of “Kvartal” Studio 95″)”, the interlocutor in the anti-corruption bodies suggested in the UP material.
NABU stated that on July 21, about 70 searches were carried out by employees of the SBU, the State Bureau of Investigation and the Prosecutor General’s Office against the bureau’s employees. The inspection also took place at the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.
