Alleged executioner of illegal Donetsk prison "Isolation" detained in France - Prosecutor General Kravchenko

A member of a terrorist organization involved in the torture of people in the illegal Donetsk prison "Isolation" has been detained in France for committing war crimes in Ukraine.

This was written by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Ruslan Kravchenko on Facebook.

According to the investigation, in 2017-2019, the Ukrainian citizen voluntarily cooperated with the so-called "Ministry of State Security of the DPR".

"Former prisoners say that he was an assistant to the head of the illegal prison in the temporary occupied Donetsk. According to them, he participated in the torture of prisoners, treated them cruelly, exerted psychological pressure, forced them to confess and humiliated people. At least nine victims have been identified so far," Kravchenko said.

According to him, in 2021, when the investigation was completed in Ukraine and the case was transferred to court, the accused fled from Ukraine to France and tried to obtain refugee status there.

"Following the appeal of Ukrainian prosecutors, the NGO "Truth Hounds" and other public organizations, French law enforcement officers opened their own criminal proceedings. Together with Ukrainian prosecutors, they interrogated the victims, and the Ukrainian side transferred additional case materials to strengthen the evidence," the Prosecutor General noted.

At the request of the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office of France, he was taken into custody and charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, last year a court in Finland sentenced one of the leaders of the neo-Nazi group "Rusich" Yan Petrovsky (also known as Vojislav Torden) to life imprisonment for war crimes in Ukraine.
