The head of Mariupol occupation leader's press service Andriy Kior has been notified of suspicion.
This was reported by 0629 with reference to sources in law enforcement agencies.
The collaborator was notified of suspicion in absentia on October 18.
He is charged under Part 5 of Article 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
"Voluntary assumption by a citizen of Ukraine of a position related to performing organizational, administrative, or economic functions for illegal authorities created on the temporarily occupied territory, including in the aggressor state's occupying administration, or being voluntarily elected to such authorities, and as well as participation in the organization and conduct of illegal elections and/or referenda," the media writes.
The sanctions of the article provide for 10 to 15 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
As IMI reported, Andriy Kior's collaboration with the Russian occupiers became known in May.
Andriy Kior studied at the Moscow Institute of Cinematography. He took up journalism after working in business, had worked for several years in Poland and then in Ukraine.
He began his journalistic work at the press center of the Illich MMP as a correspondent for "Illichivets" newspaper. He had worked on television, too, and founded his own TV studio "Adamakha."
He was the president of a media holding in Metinvest, virtually running the MTV channel, "Priazovsky Rabochy" newspaper, and the mrpl.city website. He was developing his own production studio. Recently, his services were being used by local TV channels.
With the beginning of the full-scale offensive of the russian federation on Ukraine, Kior organized a shelter in the basement of his house on Kuindzhi Street, where about 80 people were hiding. During one of the shellings, his house burned down completely.
