Ukraine: In Ternopil, Police Arressted a Group of Military Personnel Involved in Violent and Property Crimes.

In Ternopil, police detained a group of military personnel involved in violent and property crimes.
The military personnel illegally deprived people of their liberty, used physical violence against them, tortured them, demanded money and took their property in the Ternopil region.

The perpetrators took the victims outside the city, beat them and demanded money or valuable property. The most cynical aspect was that the attackers mocked people who had been seriously wounded in the war and were undergoing rehabilitation.

For example, the suspects took a KIA car from a 27-year-old resident of Ternopil and used it for their own purposes. The police found the vehicle in the Kyiv region.

One of the active military personnel, who was undergoing treatment, was shot at on the street by the attackers, forcibly put into a minibus and taken away in an unknown direction. He was beaten, threatened with a weapon and demanded 50,000 UAH for his release.

Another resident of Ternopil was forcibly pushed into a minibus using tear gas and taken out of the city. There, he was stripped naked, doused with a flammable substance and forced to run in front of the car. He was then beaten and held for three days in inhumane conditions.

Seven suspects have been charged.
