The SBU is conducting searches on the people’s deputy from the banned OPZH Nestor Shufrich in case of treason. Investigation activities continue. Suspilne reports this, citing sources in law enforcement.

In particular, journalists deny the information of their colleague Yuri Butusov that security forces detained Nestor Shufrich on suspicion of treason. The media explains that law enforcement officers are currently only searching the MP’s home.

Advisor to the head of the Presidential Office, Sergei Leshchenko, confirmed that investigative activities were being carried out against Nestor Shufrich and noted that during the pre-trial investigation, the security forces analyzed the activities of the people’s deputy from July 9, 2021.

“Detention” of Nestor Shufrich – Yuri Butusov’s position

Journalist Yuri Butusov reported that People’s Deputy Shufrich was arrested as part of the criminal investigation into the work of the Russian FSB agent network on Ukrainian territory. According to him, the politician is accused of treason and collaboration with former MP Vladimir Sivkovich, who allegedly supervised Russian intelligence officers.

Let us recall that Shufrich was detained by the Kiev territorial defense on March 4, 2022, while taking a selfie at the checkpoint. The MP explained that he needed confirmation that he was staying in the capital even though clashes continued in the surrounding area.

It was also reported in December 2022 that the Prosecutor General’s Office launched an investigation against OPZZh deputies, including Nestor Shufrich.
