The bodyguard of the people’s deputy Tishchenko pleaded guilty in the case of the attack on the military, concluding a deal with the investigation
The bodyguard of People’s Deputy Mykola Tyshchenko, Kostyantyn Zubera, who is a suspect in the case of an attack on a military man in Dnipro, cooperated with the investigation. According to sentence court on November 13, he pleaded guilty to illegal deprivation of liberty, committed as a result of a previous conspiracy, and to torture. According to the court decision, having entered into an agreement on November 7, Zubera undertook to cooperate with the investigation and to testify against other persons, including Deputy Tyshchenko.
Zuber was sentenced to five years in prison, but thanks to a plea deal, the court commuted that sentence to probation with two years of probation. This means he will remain free as long as he does not break the law during that time. In addition, Zubera is obliged to periodically report to the supervisory authorities, to report on a change of residence or work, and not to travel abroad without permission. He will also pay the state 6,058 hryvnias as reimbursement for the costs of conducting examinations.
Back in June, Zubera stated in court that the prosecution against him was illegal and even threatened suicide when his lawyer did not appear at the hearing.
We will remind that on June 20, 2024, an incident involving Mykola Tyshchenko and his bodyguards took place in the center of Dnipro. A group of people in camouflage uniforms without identification marks attacked the former fighter of the Kraken unit, Dmytro Pavlov, who was walking with his wife and baby. Pavlov was knocked to the ground, handcuffed and physically injured. Criminal proceedings were opened for this fact.
On June 25, the State Bureau of Investigation notified Mykola Tyshchenko of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 146 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. On the same day, the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv chose a preventive measure for him in the form of 24-hour house arrest for two months with the obligation to wear an electronic bracelet and hand in foreign passports.
