"On Thursday, June 21, the Holosiivskyi District Court of Kyiv fully granted the request of the prosecutor's office and elected to the director of the Municipal Security Department of the Kyiv City State Administration, who is suspected of official negligence, a preventive measure in the form of a round-the-clock house arrest with wearing an electronic control.

The suspect is also entrusted with duties: to arrive at the investigator, prosecutor or court on the first request; notify the investigator, prosecutor or court of the change of place of residence; refrain from communicating with witnesses and other suspects in the specified criminal proceedings, except for participation in procedural actions; to deposit a passport for travel abroad.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on June 20, the National Police handed suspicion to the director of the Municipal Security Department of Kyiv Roman Tkachuk in the case of shelters under Part 2 of Art. 367 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (official negligence, which caused grave consequences, is punishable by imprisonment for a term of 2 to 5 years).
