The press service of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Prosecutor's Office has reported this.
In collusion with representatives of armed formations from the Russian Federation, the suspects, under threats of using weapons, unlawfully detained a 28-year-old resident of Yakymivka and took him to the outskirts of the settlement. There, in an attempt to force him into cooperation regarding the victim, they inflicted physical and psychological violence. They beat him, threatened to kill him, and made him dig his own grave, thereby simulating the intent to execute him.
To stop the abuse, the man was compelled to hand over $500 and €500 to the fake law enforcement officers.
Currently, an indictment has been submitted to the court against two citizens of Ukraine for the brutal treatment of civilians and other violations of the laws and customs of war (Part 2 of Article 28, Part 1 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
