SSU and National Police aided Komarnytskyi’s escape

Four employees of the Security Service of Ukraine and two employees of the Strategic Investigations Department in the Transcarpathian region of the National Police are involved in the removal of businessman Denys Komarnytsky from the Kyiv region to Transcarpathia, and later abroad. He was recently found in Austria.

This was reported by Ukrainska Pravda and the Strategic Investigations Department of the National Police.

The National Police, and in particular the SSU, were actively involved in conducting large-scale search operations against Denys Komarnytsky. At the same time, we became aware of the facts of the involvement of two SSU employees in Transcarpathia in illegal activities. Our reaction was immediate and principled: the said employees have already been dismissed from the ranks of the National Police, and SBU investigators have declared them suspicious. In addition, the head of the territorial department was immediately dismissed from his position

According to "Word and Deed", this concerns the dismissal of the head of the Ukrainian Social Democratic Party in Transcarpathia, Serhiy Khymych.

According to the UP, the organizer of Komarnytsky's escape abroad is a former public freelance employee of the SSU operational unit, Yuriy Dovgalenko. In addition to him, three more people with SSU employee ID cards and two police officers, mentioned above by the SSR, were involved in these actions.

The SSU denies the involvement of its employees in the removal of Komarnytsky.

Denys Komarnytskyi is a figure in the EBK database.

As a reminder, Komarnytsky was recently found in Vienna, Austria , where he is hiding from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office. He is currently wanted.
