New suspects have emerged in the case of the preparation for the murder of the First Deputy Minister of Health of Ukraine — law enforcement officers reported suspicions to a law enforcement officer and his accomplice. According to the investigation, they sold information from closed databases about the former First Deputy Minister of Health of Ukraine to customers, which was used in the preparation of his murder.
This is reported by the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI).
The attackers who were preparing the murder found out where the official and his family lived. This information was given to them by a Kyiv resident, who, in turn, received it from a law enforcement officer he knew who had access to closed bases.
Both — the law enforcement officer and the civilian — were charged with illegally transmitting confidential information. They face up to two years in prison for this. The suspects are currently being held in pretrial detention.
- In October 2024, a woman died in a capital hospital after a car accident. According to the investigation, the deceasedʼs friends blamed the first deputy minister, who was an anesthesiologist, for her death and decided to kill him. This is probably Serhiy Dubrov, who was appointed to the position by the government in March 2023.
- The news that law enforcement officers had prevented the murder of an official appeared on January 20 of this year. The two suspects were caught red-handed — they were trying to transfer money when they bought firearms for the crime. For several months, they had been following the official, studying his daily routine and travel routes. They were informed of suspicion of organizing the murder and were chosen as a preventive measure in the form of detention without the right to post bail.
