SBU searches HUR serviceman allegedly linked to Monaco case
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) is conducting an urgent search of an employee of the Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) on Friday, Nov. 6, allegedly in connection with the Monaco case, the serviceman's lawyer, Masi Nayyem, reported.
On Friday, November 6, lawyer Masi Nayyem reported to Facebook that an investigation had taken place at the home of a Main Intelligence Agency (GUR) officer, as part of the Monaco case. According to Nayyem, he was on-site in his role as the individual's legal representative. He stated that the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) officers forcibly entered the premises and subdued his client.
The law, Nayyem added, dictates that the SBU should have waited for the GUR's internal security unit to arrive before making an entry. However, they did not adhere to this protocol. The SBU press service confirmed to Interfax-Ukraine that an investigation was indeed underway in relation to the Monaco case. This investigation aims to ensure a comprehensive and impartial inquiry into criminal proceedings concerning events that occurred this summer in the Principality of Monaco.
The SBU stated that they are conducting these investigative actions in Kyiv today, under the procedural guidance of the Office of the Prosecutor General. As the investigation is ongoing, they are not disclosing any additional details at this time.
