Under the procedural guidance of prosecutors from the Office of the Attorney General, in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the former second secretary of the Embassy of Ukraine in the Republic of Poland has been notified of suspicion of facilitating the illegal transportation of a person across the state border of Ukraine (part 2 of Article 332 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The investigation has established that in May 2022, while in office, the diplomat used his official position to illegally process Ukrainian citizenship for a native of the Russian Federation. She had no grounds for the simplified procedure for acquiring citizenship, but thanks to document manipulation, she obtained a Ukrainian passport for traveling abroad.

The official deliberately ignored the applicant's lack of the necessary permanent residence status in Poland, certified documents that did not meet legal requirements, and personally entered information into the Unified State Demographic Register. This allowed for the issuance of a foreign passport, based on which the citizen of the Russian Federation illegally entered and exited Ukraine multiple times in 2023.

Currently, the issue of choosing a preventive measure for the suspect is being resolved.

The pre-trial investigation is being conducted by the Main Investigation Department of the National Police of Ukraine with operational support from the Security Service of Ukraine.
