The pre-trial investigation was conducted by investigators from the investigative department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Dnipropetrovsk region, with operational support from the Department of Strategic Investigations of the National Police of Ukraine in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Note: According to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in a lawful manner and established by a court verdict.
