On January 27, a preparatory meeting was held in Dnipro in the case of People’s Deputy Mykola Tyshchenko and former Kraken special forces fighter Dmytro Mazokha. The court decided to change the preventive measure for Tyshchenko, appointing he has two months of round-the-clock house arrest.
Prosecutor Ivan Stolyar filed a motion to forcibly bring Tyshchenko to the courtroom so that he would participate in the hearing in person. However, the People’s Deputy’s lawyer objected, noting that Tyshchenko was under house arrest by the decision of the Pechersk Court of Kyiv and had valid reasons for participating in the meetings remotely. The judge did not grant this request.
The prosecutor also asked to change Tyshchenko’s preventive measure, citing possible risks, in particular, the fact that the people’s deputy could hide from the investigation or put pressure on witnesses.
In turn, Tyshchenko stated that he complied with all requirements and regularly participated in court sessions via video link, at the same time accusing the law enforcement officers of illegal actions.
“Now, law enforcement officers come to me every day, in the number of 7, 12, 15 people. They hang around the house, scare the residents of my house, spread false information about me, ask the condominium to provide a video of my movements, without any documents, even without introducing himself. This violates absolutely all the requirements of wartime.” Tyshchenko said.
As a result, the judge decided to change the preventive measure to two months of round-the-clock house arrest.
