On September 27, the Pechersk District Department of the capital's militia opened a criminal case regarding a fight between supporters of the "Brotherhood" party and citizens of Transnistria with the security of the Central Election Commission. This was stated today at a press conference by the head of the press service of the Prosecutor General's Office, Serhiy Rudenko, according to a "proUA" correspondent.
The criminal case was opened under Article 293 of the Criminal Code, "Group violation of public order." According to Rudenko, the prosecutor's office will keep the investigation of this case under control. In addition, he added, during the investigation the role in this event of presidential candidate Dmytro Korchynskyi, who, as is known, heads the "Brotherhood" party, will be examined. At the same time, Rudenko emphasized that if violations of the law are discovered, the prosecutor's office will hold all those responsible accountable, regardless of their positions.
As reported, on September 23, about 60 supporters of the "Brotherhood" party and the Union of Ukrainians of Transnistria picketed the building of the Central Election Commission, demanding the opening of polling stations in Transnistria. After some time, "Brotherhood" supporters burst into the lobby of the CEC building, broke the security barrier and tried to go further, after which a fight broke out with the security. During the fight, one security guard's head was smashed. The leader of "Brotherhood," presidential candidate D. Korchynskyi, was also present at this incident.
